camera and finding a underwater housing

[jseamless]

hello,

i have the nikon coolpix 2500. a great digi for close range. however, i am not sure how it would work underwater. i looked into getting a underwater housing for it and i only found two available. one with a max depth of 10, that is no good, and one in japan which they want over 400 bucks for. i find this crazy, because i only paid 250$ for the camera.

can anyone recommend a digital made for underwater photography or another source to get a housing for the nikon 2500?

thanks

$400 for a camera housing is not out of the normal range. You can visit Digi-Deep to see what housings are currently available for your camera.

There are no digital cameras that I am aware of currently made for underwater use. Although I have heard that Sea & Sea has one in developement. So leaves us with housing 'regular' cameras.

As for which cameras lend themselves well to underwater photography, you need to read through these threads and use the search key for new cameras. Olympus, Canon, Nikon seem to be the top three.
