Re: Canon R or Sony a9 underwater

I shoot a7r3 underwater with sel 90 (great macro lens) and sel 16-35 f4 (rarely). I don’t know the Canon system but assume it would also be great. I think of the A9 as a great camera for sports with awesome AF, but not an obvious choice for underwater. Not that it wouldn’t be fine, just that underwater doesn’t make use of its best features. The extra MP in The a7r3 allow greater crop for macro.If you haven’t looked into it yet, you are facing a major expense. The housing will cost about the same as the camera body, dual strobes at 500-900 each, separate port for each lens etc.
