Cool video! I have to say, though, that the color correction is not very good (I'm saying this in a purely constructive way). Take a look at the screen grab I took from your video off of YouTube (2nd pic), and the one I further corrected in Vegas Pro (1st pic, from the screen grab still)...

A couple of Octobers ago I dove all over the western Caribbean (84-86 degrees), and was so, so happy to dive in swim trunks and a workout shirt (I dive mostly in California). I don't run into coral as a matter of course, so had no problems with stings and what-not. Jellies can get you, but I've...

GoPro has them in stock and shipping right now. You can by them directly at GoPro.com. Sent from my Lumia 900 Windows Phone using Board Express

It's a matter of field of view, not round vs. flat. If you want to be very close to an object (and underwater you generally do), wider can be much better. Most use medium or wide for underwater use...depends on what you're shooting. Also, the bit of "fish eye" effect (that's way it's actually...

Zoop. Great, easy to use interface, and if you choose to buy the cable, the download software is actually pretty good. I use it as a backup to my old, trusty hose integrated mares..but I only look at the console now for air. Sent from my Lumia 900 Windows Phone using Board Express

Oh, man...I totally forgot about this thread. Saratoga is right, though. The slate is not to auto-white balance on (would be nice), it's to help you in post. BTW, with or without a filter, it is useful (gives you those true black/white targets. If you can get neutral grey on there, even...

Take a slate with you that has a white area and a black area (or use something else black) and make sure you take video of the slate in every setting/lighting conditions that you shoot in. That will make color correction later much easier because you have known references. When I get home...

What edition of Vegas are you using? Is it Vegas Pro, or one of the consumer editions? Color correction in Vegas is quite good (and can be easy...but it's still something that needs to be practiced). I can give you a couple of pointers, but need to know which one you're using. Sent from my...

That link is to your management console...probably only works if you are logged in. Can you provide a public link to the ad?

Marty, I think what dfx was (correctly) pointing out was that warmer air has the capability to "hold" more moisture before it condenses. You're tips are excellent because they close the case with cool, dry air. As you (also correctly) pointed out, this greatly decreses the chance of...

Ya...you're like a marshmallow in a 7mm wetsuit with hood. It takes a lot of weight to keep you from bobbing around in salt water like a buoy. :) BTW, just noticed where you're from. If you've been in the Salt Lake before, you probably experienced the buoyancy difference of salt vs. fresh water...

And then adjust for saltwater (i.e. add weight).

Let me know if you need a buddy while here. Always looking to for excuses to dive. :) BTW, 7mm, hood, gloves are standard fare around here when not diving dry. Like others have said, unless you already have one, just rent the wetsuit (and everything else) here unless you're going to be using...

I would leave it open, not closed, in a cool, dry, dark (i.e. No sunlight) place. Also, make sure that te seals are lubed before storage. That should be it. Sent from my Windows Phone using Board Express

Great job, DIYers. ermaclob...how did you cut the plastic and finish it?

Beautiful. Thanks for posting. Thinking about getting a housing for my 6D; I use a dedicated video camera (old now), but the SLRs are looking impressive. Sent from my PI39100 using Board Express

The still images actually use more of the imaging sensor than the HD video, so that is likely why you're seeing some vignetting. In video modes you likely don't get any (or very little). Handling vignetting (cropping) on an 11 MP image is generally easier than handling it in Video (which is...

I'm not sure I would call the biggest improvement the menus. There are several other, important (image capturing) improvements that I would stack rank above the menus (especially because, as you said, the LCD help with some of that). For example, you can shoot 1080p video in the 170 degree FOV...

Thanks for sharing. What setup did you use?

LOL, I'm old school, too. Just trying to keep up with these young whippersnappers. GET OFF MY LAWN!
