Howarde, Aquatica is a beautiful thing, until you look at the price tag. Very sexy housing,...but alas, it is only a housing.
Not sure if anyone else has heard this, but it may be worth exploring. The dial buttons that change the modes on the Ikelite housings do get quirky at depth, so don't be shocked. Kevin Davidson, the photog at Sam's always has to adjust mine (not sure what he does) and mine needs to be sent to Ike now. The hard foam cushions are not grabbing the mode dials or the f-stop dials....No apparent reason that I can see. He says he sees this a lot....he is helping people day after day, so it is not just me. I use stuff pretty hard though.
Having said that, I need a clear housing since I have so little experience topside and a bad memory at depth. being able to see the camera makes a difference in the beginning.
Leesa and I dove the other day with this guy who had a 10k camera in one of those zip-lock housings....we were quite amazed.
Thanks, Ron. Looks fantastic! The D-100 I have was 1400, body four years ago at duty free. Hmm...the bigger LCD screen sure would help me. The D-100 does not always focus well in low light.
