Recsea Housing for the Canon 7D

[FranklynJones]

Hi there,

I may have posted this in the wrong place. So sorry for that.

Anyway, I want to either buy the Aquatica, Nauticam or Recsea underwater housing for my 7d. I am tempted by the Recsea due to it's compactness but cannot find a review of it or much information at all, anywhere. Has anybody used it? Have one? And could share their experience or thoughts.

Thanks,
- FJ

I dive the Nauticam and I think it is great. I have seen a bunch of Aquaticas and dove with one and it too was very nice. The Recsea is a great unknown and if it were $500 cheaper I would think about it but at the same price as the Nauticam/Aquatica I would vote for the guys that have more experience making DSLR cameras. One of the reasons that the dimensions look so small is that for the Nauticam/Aquatica, the knobs that are used for focus/zoom are a bit bigger. I would bet that the actual housings (minus the knobs) are all within a mm or two of each other. And once you add arms, trays, strobes, focus lights and add on lenses all of them will be the same size i.e. too big.
