Please help me decide: used C-7070 or new gear

1 posts
  1. Hi all. This is my first post here, but surely not the last!

     

    I'm a total newbie in UW photography and am not planning to become a pro or anything near that, so I'm just looking for something that allows to take decent pics of my dives, mostly ambient snaps, but also some macro pics.

     

    After doing some research I've reduced my options to these:

     

    1) A used Olympus C-7070 and Olympus housing setup, together with an Epoque flash (arm included) and an Epoque wide angle lens. 600 euros.

     

    2) A new Canon A-570is and Canon housing. This will cost me 360 euros, so I can get a strobe and WA lense with the difference ( I guess!).

     

    Which would you choose? I really appreciate your suggestions, since I feel quite lost here. Thanks!
