Once released, this housing will be called AD7000 and will be offered for an attractive retail price of 2,499 USD. Although AD7000 specifications haven't been announced yet, we can only assume it will feature the slim and relatively lightweight construction featured by other recently released Aquatica Housings, which seem to have gone on a serious diet. The housing should be released by the beginning of 2011.
