Hello!
I have decided on getting myself an underwater camera for pictures/videos, something easy to use that would give decent results. And by that I mean nice-looking souvenir material, not photograph competition quality! I already own a Panasonic DMC TZ2 and I am wondering if I'd be able to get something good out of it by getting myself a housing and possibly a 'wider' lens? If not, I am considering a few options for a new camera;
I'm obviously not expecting professional like quality, as I don't really plan on spending much more than 800$ on this setup. I've looked at a nice compilation that was linked in an earlier post by Jon Underwater Camera Articles: Review: Best Underwater Point & Shoot Cameras for 2009.
There are some good 'packages' for someone like me on a budget but i've still got more questions that i'm sure you guys will be able to answer easily!
Am I better off getting a cheaper camera and housing with added wide lens and a strobe or just a more expensive camera/housing? Just how much of a difference will the lens and strobe do to my picture/video quality?
