Buying Olympus E-410 with pt-03 housing! I need help!

2 posts
  1. Hi guys, I'm getting married soon and we are going to french polynesia, autralia and new zealand for our wedding trip. We are leaving september 24 so i'm a bit in a hurry to buy a new dslr and housing, so I need you're help.

     

    (sorry for my english, I speak french)

     

    I'm new to underwater photography but I want to buy a good dslr. I've done some researh here and the Olympus e-410 with the pt-03 housing seems very interesting for the price.

     

    For 2300$CAN I could buy the housing (pt-e03) and the e-410(ED 14-42mm lens) with the PPO-E05 port.

     

    I don't want to go higher than 2500$, so do I need something else to get started, I will not take picture deeper than 25 feets, so will I need a strobe or will the sun light be enough?

     

    is there something i'm missing ?

     

    thank you!

  2. You may want to consider a magic filter, http://www.magic-filters.com/ if you don't want to go over budget for the shallow dives. Otherwise a strobe which fires with fiber optics will be the next step to keep cost down.
