If you have an existing underwater flash with slave function (e.g. For photos of larger subjects you will need an external flash and probably the wide angle lens. It does well with close ups of 1 - 2 feet (buy the 3x macro lens) with the internal flash. A much better ratio than I used to get with the Nikonons.

I previously used a Nikonos and bought this inexpensive SeaLife Reefmaster DC250 camera (less than $200 with case and close up lens) to try out digital photography underwater. “I previously used a Nikonos and bought this.”
