Re: A6500 substantional over Gopro?

Yeah, I'm probably gonna get frustrated with myself when in Egypt next year for wanting to keep my set-up as light as possible now, so gonna invest in some light too, hoping it will be sufficient enough for not wanting to buy a dome after that also I can get carried away like that when it comes to the chase for better quality, but a big dome would really be to much in addition to all our other gear

On the question where we will use the camera, that will mostly be tropical blue waters (Egypt, Indonesia, Thailand, Filippines), at this moment at depth's between 3 and 30m, so with pretty good visibillity. My wish is to have better quality than with the Gopro, being able to zoom a little to shoot portrait-like shots, have more possibilies in editing, etc. Overall quality, macro is not a wish at this moment, and shooting still also not, I only focus on video.

I've been looking at webshops in my country (Netherlands) and found a couple of options that caught my eye;

- SeaLife Sea Dragon 2500 Flat Panel

- SeaLife Sea Dragon 2000F UW

- SeaLife Sea Dragon 3000F

Any reason to not go with the Sealife brand? With my goals, am I better of with the Flat panel model, the UW model or the stronger 3000 Lumen? And am I gonna regret not buying a double handle with 2 lights?
