Hugyfot HFC-40D Housing Review

Hugyfot HFC-40D Housing ReviewPanama means 'abundance of fish' in the indigenous language of one of the Indian tribes. In Coiba this is obviously the case. But due to a minor sight at times, the fish is not always clearly visible. Coiba is the largest island of Panama and consists mainly of ancient tropical rainforest. The Canon 40D is my companion on this trip to Coiba. The underwater housing that will take the Canon EOS 40D underwater is the Hugyfot HFC 40D.

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.
