As the international leader in innovative underwater housing technology, Nauticam takes exceptional pleasure in announcing the latest release in its acclaimed line of precision crafted camera housings.
Leave it to the vaunted Nauticam design and engineering team to take on not one, but two Canon flagship SLRs in developing a single housing that maximizes the ultimate potential of both systems for underwater use. The results are beyond all expectations as Nauticam releases the remarkable NA-1DX. This professional grade housing supports both the SLR performance king Canon EOS-1D X and the cutting edge cinematic 4K video capable Canon EOS-1D C. Pro shooters of the caliber that Canon serves with these powerhouses demand the very best and Nauticam delivers nothing less.
[h=2]Canon EOS-1D X[/h]The EOS-1D X is Canons flagship professional SLR camera and as one might imagine, the specs are eye popping. The dual Digic 5+ processors make shooting 18 megapixel RAW still photos at a remarkable 12 frames per second a breeze while providing 14 fps in jpg mode with mirror locked.
The EOS-1D X also features a new 61-Point High-Density Reticular AF and 100,000-pixel RGB Metering Sensor that uses a separate, dedicated Digic 4 Image Processor that allows the EOS-1D X to reach new levels of focus speed and accuracy according to Canon. Intelligent Tracking and Recognition Autofocus technology means accurate subject tracking, and AF point illumination during AI Servo helps the shooter see what is happening during AF tracking. Expanded ISO ranges from 50 to 204,800 should satisfy almost any exposure challenge. Low light performance is reputed to excellent and at 204,800 the camera should practically see in the dark.
The camera features dual CF card slots and a gigabit Ethernet port for tethered shooting, as well as optional GPS and wireless file transmitter options. It also features a magnesium body with a 400,000-cycle shutter durability rating, excellent dust and weather sealing, and a new vibration based dust removal system. The large, bright LCD (1 mega-dot, 3.2 and 170º viewing angle) means image review is a pleasure and the aforementioned processors waste no time scanning through hundreds of shots.
Other features include chromatic aberration correction, maintenance display, and a new multiple exposure feature allowing up to 9 shots to be combined into a single image with four distinct settings for exposure control.
The EOS-1D X features advanced HD video with continuous recording for up to 30 minutes, outputting to compact flash using ALL-I frame-to-frame compression or IPC compression. Key for underwater video shooters, the EOS-1D X supports 6 different custom white balance settings. Canon already had the best white balance support of any SLR, but the ability to store 6 settings means that much more accuracy in ambient light video shooting.
The EOS-1D X occupies pretty rarified territory, but for those who need performance, connectivity, processing power, durable construction, HD capture, and unmatched white balance - there is no better camera available.
[h=2]Canon EOS-1D C[/h]The Canon EOS-1D C can be thought of an EOS-1D X on video steroids. Canon has taken all of the still performance of the EOS-1D X and added 4K-cinema quality video recording. The EOS-1D C is not yet available, but Nauticam has had access to the camera and details to ensure that the NA-1DX housing will indeed support the EOS-1D C.
[h=2]Nauticam NA-1DX[/h]Every aspect of the NA-1DX exudes the Nauticam penchant for exceptional design and engineering. The award winning Nauticam design team has tackled the challenges of this housing with all the commitment, ingenuity and excellence befitting these extraordinary cameras. In so doing, they have achieved the extraordinary a housing that melds shooter and camera as never before. Shooting the NA-1DX together with the EOS-1D X is at once brilliantly unique, yet intuitive to operate. Every control is conceived, designed, and placed where the shooter needs it. The design anticipates use, form becomes function and the whole system beckons the shooter to exceed what they previously thought possible.
