Sony MPK-DVF7 for DVD handy cam

[ROVengineer]

Hi

I,m interested in venturing into underwater video , I got the chance to see one of these housings in Singapore earlier this year . It looked very nice indeed . But they were to order only !

I,d be interested to know being new to video if this is a good direction to go ? I already own a DVD sony Handycam .

Thoughts , comments etc . would be welcome . Being as I,m off to Taiwan next week thought I may buy one there as I think it'll be cheaper there.

Thanks in advance

For about the same or less money you might also consider a housing made by USVH or Ocean Images. For what I think you'll pay for the Sony, you'll be able to get the same quality electronic housing with an LCD monitor. And I believe more controls, although I'm not certain what the Sony has.
