ronscuba,
They are nearly identical. You can add 1.8 lb to either housing when you add the tray and handles.
7D housing specs are nearly identical to the 6D:
| Width | 10.0 in (250 mm) including controls |
|---|---|
| Height | 6.9 in (175 mm) including controls |
| Depth | 6.6 in (185 mm) including controls |
| Weight | 5.5 lb (2.5 kg) without tray & handles |
T2i housing specs are nearly identical to the T4i:
| Width | 9.5in (240mm) including controls |
|---|---|
| Height | 6.7in (170mm) including controls |
| Depth | 6.5in (165mm) including controls |
| Weight | 5.5lb (2.5kg) without tray & handles |
Best Regards,

Thanks for the reply Brett. Kind of surprised the sizes are so close. The T2i is much smaller than the 7d. I imagine the buoyancy will be affected with the T2i being smaller and lighter.
Planning on using a 60mm macro lens with flat port and a Tokina 10-17 fisheye with 6" dome. Neutral buoyancy would be ideal. A little positive is not bad either since adding weight is easier than adding buoyancy.
I own both the T2i and 7d.

Note that the housing dimensions and housing weight are virtually identical. There is little change in buoyancy using a slightly heavier camera body, however, a larger port (with more airspace) will make the housing more buoyant.
All Ikelite DSLR systems are slightly negatively buoyant regardless of the configuration.
