Hi Madhusuden
I can certainly try to help you, but first I’ll need to know a few things;
1) What is your budget.
2) Do you want a small compact camera with no external strobe / lenses.
3) Do you want a larger semi-Pro Compact camera with external strobe/s / lenses.
4) Do you want a DSLR set-up.
5) Is there some particular area of underwater photography that you particularly want your camera to excel at - eg. Macro, Wide Angle, Fish Portraiture, Fast Action, Marine Mammal.

An update on our September Komodo Trip
We currently have three (3) vacancies on this trip. Our group so far consists of one very experienced Nikon DSLR photographer, two medium experience compact camera photographers, one new compact camera photographer, two new video photographers .......... plus one teacher - ready willing and able!!!.
