    There is a t least 5 manufacturer involved in making a housing for the 3D, the newer D3s has some slight physical differences, this prevent the standard D3 housing from being used with the D3s, at least as far as video is concerned. as a result our standard D3 housing is no longer produced and...

    Not underwater, but upgrade from a D70 to???

    Jax, then case close, the D300s is an awesome choice, Ive had mines for a while now and they where a shocking step forward from my D200's, I can image what it will be from the D70 :D

    Not underwater, but upgrade from a D70 to???

    Try cleaning the contact shown in the picture with a pencil eraser. I had a similar problem in the past and is was due to mild corrosion (I did some jungle shooting for a while and the humidity can cause all kind of weird symptoms) Also I feel if you can wait a bit (a few months), there is...

    Macro lense question for D5000

    Well, on top of that Nikon is not necessarily bragging about this little detail. It’s unlikely that newcomer to the Nikon system would think to ask about this, I think it’s pretty darn important as it does put a damper on a few others very popular lenses, the Tokina 10-17mm and the...

    Macro lense question for D5000

    All theory aside, One aspect of the D5000 that is bound to influence your choice is the fact that the D5000 does not have a built in motor in the body for AF such as its more expensive sibling, so whatever lenses you select should at least be able to focus on your camera, look for lense that...

    Best Alternate Lens For Shark Diving

    The Sigma 10-20mm or the Nikon 10-24mm are both good option, the Sigma has a good reputation for performance underwater, both would benefit from a 8" (or larger) dome port, but both could be used to some extend with the 6", albeit with lower corner performance due to the smaller radius. if you...

    Does anyone use the D5000 for underwater photography?

    I agree with Chuck, a entry level camera will more than often have the same innards as its more expensive sibling, the controls, focusing speed and options are mainly where the higher end models would be differents, Unfortunately, the housing selection is not as vast as higher end camera...

    Lens Advice, Plz

    Revised lens charts recommend using the 18462 extension with this Sigma 17-70mm, I personnaly have the 17-70 HSM and do enjoy it, but as Mark say, it is definitely not my primary workhorse, more like a Scouting lens when you want to explore new territory, its got a decent field of view and a...
