Hi, I have my old 5100, and I do not want to upgrade it to any other body. Is there any normal case on the market at NORMAL price?
Thanks in advance.

If you are looking for a used housing, you will likely have better luck finding a housing and camera together. The D5100 was never especially popular in the UW world to the best of my knowledge, so finding a housing for it might be tricky. By contrast, the D7000/7100/7200 were very popular, so there are likely numerous used systems out there and these would all be compatible with your lenses.
I should add that building a decent UW system should not start with the camera body. In most cases, it's the least expensive major component of a system. To attempt to build a system around a "rare" (in the UW world) body will likely turn out to be short-sited.

Thanks. Yep, when I bought that one, I was not diving yet.

How unlike me! ;-)
I should have added that in addition to Scubaboard, www.wetpixel.com has a terrific classifieds section

I have an option to trade in my d5100 now. So should I change it to d7x00? Or there is a better option. I'm not limited on Nikon only, I can try Canon and other cameras as well.
The primary mission is to spend as little cash as possible to achieve a very basic entry-level underwater system.
P.S. I became now a tec diver, so the primary money spend goes now to all the needed tec gear.
