I travel to do underwater photography. So, in addition to my clothes, I pack all my equipment in my luggage. That includes a mirrorless camera (Canon EOS R7), its waterproof housing, two underwater strobes, and a full set of diving gear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Clarification:<\/mark><\/strong><\/span> I'm not sponsored by ANY of the brands listed below when I detail my photo and diving equipment. I've equipped myself little by little, over the years, according to my needs and my budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My evolution: compact camera, SLR, MIL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I took up underwater photography in 2005-2006<\/a>. My first camera was a disposable, with silver film inside, housed in a yellow-bottomed transparent plastic waterproof case. You could find these in tourist stores...<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I liked it so much that I immediately bought a digital camera (APN) and its little underwater housing. At first, I tried my hand (and eye) at this modest compact, the Canon Powershot A95<\/a>from 2005 to 2009. I learned a lot about underwater photography with this \"basic\" APN, which was all I needed to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I finally got to grips with its possibilities, then the camera died... I then switched to an SLR in early 2010 with the Canon Eos 7D<\/a> and an Ikelite housing. Thirteen years later, in 2023, I changed my camera again and invested in a mirrorless interchangeable lens (MIL) one, the Canon EOS R7<\/a>, and a Nauticam housing.<\/p>\n\n\n
