Hey all, so I need your help- I'm struggling with the housing decision a set-up for a canon t4i- the S&S rdx housing - about $1450, vs the Nauticam housing, which is $2,400. RDX housing seems adequate for a starter set-up, but I've heard that the nauticam housing has much better controls. I care less about he polycarbonate housing vs. aluminum, but do care about whether the better controls make taking pictures easier- especially as a start to learn. I have no doubt the nauticam housing is better, but is it $1,000 better:
-Port selection with different port bases for RDX and the Nauticam seems to be the same, etc.
-You have to remove the tray to open the housing on the RDX, vs. the Nauticam
-I imagine the polycarbonate RDX is lighter than the aluminum Nauticam, but aluminum is stronger
-Better ergonomics and spacing on Nauticam controls
-integrated tray and handles on Nauticam...
I'm just learning, so want to buy right, but not spend another $1,000 if I don't need to.
Thanks all appreciate it.
Best, Peter
