In Reply to: underwater strobe for canon S200 posted by Rick on January 30, 2004 at 19:10:22:
: I've been using a digital Canon PowerShot S200 (2.0 megapixel at high resolution) with a Canon WP-DC600 case for the past year. I've been down to 60 feet in the Caribbean and Hawai'i. Ambient light and the built-in flash have captured some great shots, which I've been able to enlarge up to 8x10 without distortion. I've been getting back scatter sometimes, and my dive shop recommended a strobe. This is my second U/W camera and I dive about 15-20 days a year. What is the right strobe for my level of U/W photography?
Rick:
I recommend the SEA & SEA YS-25 DIGITAL STROBE for price, quality, and wide range housing-brand compatibility. It offers compact size, good power output, multiple controls, and the package below comes with everything you need to use it with the DC600.
