Sealux CD300 Housing for the Nikon D300 Review

Sealux CD300 Housing for the Nikon D300 Review Mastering the operation of an underwater housing is a journey of familiarization. You move through a process of engaging its functionality, employing its ergonomics and adapting to its idiosyncrasies and so become at one with it through lots of practice. It’s like learning to play an instrument.
Sealux s CD300 housing for the Nikon D300 DSLR has a similar feel to the earlier D200 housing only with improvements in performance and functionality. All the controls just seem right and the changes I have so far encountered are for the better.

Panasonic DMC-TZ3 review

Panasonic DMC-TZ3 review It is a sunny Saturday. One of my diving buddies comes walking back from the water. He tells me there is a seal lying on the dike. I am sure he is pulling my leg, as usual, but after telling me three times I want to make sure and I set off to the dike taking my camera with me. I do have the feeling that I will be made a fool but suppose he is right and there is actually a seal lying there? I would not want to miss a chance like that…

Sea&Sea DX-D80 on shark expedition in the Bahamas

Sea&Sea DX-D80 I am standing on the back deck of the M/V Shearwater and am ready to jump in the water. I have to clear my throat three times and ask myself if I really want to do this. I look for a spot near the reef and try to calm down. I have the Nikon D80 in a Sea&Sea underwater housing in my hands, as well as two Sea&Sea YS110 flashes. I do not do any photographing in the first 15 minutes. I am nervous about what is to come. At one point my breathing gets easier and I start looking around a bit more easily.

10Bar Ultra Compact Focusing Light Review

10Bar Ultra Compact Focusing Light Review"Although I have found that even in dull conditions most digital cameras I use underwater have very good auto-focus. There have been odd times when a small focusing light would aid the camera in being able to focus-lock much faster. I notice this most when diving around caves, shaded ledges and wrecks. Where the very low ambient light, has the camera's auto focus system hunting for focus-lock. This review of the 10Bar Ultra Compact Focusing Light demonstrates how focus lights can enhance your ability to shoot in low light environments and therefore offer more flexibility.

Aquatica 30D Housing

Aquatica Canon 30D housingTo dSLR or not dSLR, that is the question. And one that I faced for awhile. Due to a combination of fate and a sale at a local camera shop, the question no longer exisited and I went dSLR. And took the dSLR underwater in an Aquatica Housing.
