Can't wait to test it underwater ...

Looks good. Don't know for sure, but you might want to consider some buoyancy arms for that.

Yes, need to add some float arm/floatstix for this setup.
But will try out first only know how much need to add.

We just got some Nauticam GX1 housings in. The housings are quite and small and very nice. I just updated our mirrorless camera guide to include the GX1 as on of our top picks.

Great thing regarding the Nauticam version of the GX1 is the new pricing; US$1200 vs. $1650 for it's housing for other cameras in this class.

How is the 14-42mm X zoom as an UW lens? Are there other lenses that will fit in the included port?

Nauticam has both a flat port and a semi-dome for the 14-42. No port is per se included with the housing.

I know the semi-dome port will also accommodate the older 14-45 lens and the non-auto 14-42 and the 9-18. I am not sure what other lenses would work in it. Their port chart is a bit out-of date, and they accommodate more lenses than they show.

If for some reason I were going to limit myself to only one port, I suppose it would be the 4" semi-dome so I could use the 9-18 for wide angle and the 14-42 for fish portraits. They also have now come out with an adapter to use a diopter on the semi-dome, so one could even do macro.

Hi guys,

I just took the GX1 away to Egypt to test. Very impressive image quality, I used the 8mm Fisheye and the 45mm macro and took it on 2 dives.

Apologies for the direct links, the file sizes are too large to include in the message and I don't have time to resieze and reupload at the mo.

Hey Alex, would love to hear more about your experience with the camera.

Looking at this as a possible smaller companion to my 7D/Nauticam when I don't want to lug around the big kit.
