Economy underwater camera

3 posts
  1. I have been using a canon sd800 with a wp-dc9 case for a while now because it is really all I can afford. It works great!

    Here is more info

  2. Here's my suggestion. The elph is a nice camera that has full manual control. There are some folks who are talented enough to take great underwater shots without an external strobe, I'm not one of them. The internal strobe always seemed to just make the photo worse, not better. The day I invested in an external strobe is the day my photos came to life. So my suggestion is to use the money you have to purchase an external strobe with an arm. Even something as small as a YS17 would add some needed pop.

    Good idea I have been a little frustrated with my stills lack of ture color and correcting them in photoshop is only a little better. I will check out your suggested gear! Thank you for your input!
