Strobe comparison - Sea & Sea YS-110 vs Inon Z240

Strobe comparison test

Inon Z240 versus Sea & Sea Ys-110

 

There are many strobe qualities important to the underwater photographer, such as coverage, color temp, size, recycle time and strength - usually measured with a guide number.

 

I suspected my Inon strobe was stronger than my S&S Ys110, but I wanted to test it to see exactly what the difference was.

Canon G10 camera for underwater photography

The Canon G10 is an excellent topside compact camera, one of the best out there due to it's superior handling and controls, excellent 14.7 megapixel sensor, RAW capability, full manual controls, and wide 28mm lens. However, due to the long zoom range, it may not be as ideal a camera underwater as other cameras, depending on the housing choice.

Underwater photographer travel tips 

 

On my recent trip to Australia to photograph Leafy Sea Dragons, I decided to leave my dive equipment at home, except for a mask and dive computer.

 

Since I was only diving for two days in Australia, and one day in Milford Sound, New Zealand, even underwater photography equipment was limited, and I only brought 2 strobes, and a dome port. I left my macro port at home, but I still shot macro with my dome port - which I will write about in a future article.

 

So back to the diving - it turns out the rental equipment I had was fantastic. I didn't miss my wetsuit, backplate, or regulator. But what I did miss - was my fins.
