Ikelite or metal cases

ppina:

Since I have learnt to like underwater photography, this is the second Ikelite case I buy. I have never experienced any problems with it and they are cheaper than the metal cases. Do you think it is worthy to pay the double price for a metal case? What are the advantages?

ppina,

Advantages with an Ikelite housing:

- You can clearly see the housing seal.

- You can clearly see how the housing controls contact each camera function.

- You will not have corrosion problems if the housing is properly rinsed after each dive.

- Fully integrated TTL circuitry in all DSLR housings and many prosumer models which allow direct digital information to be exchanged between the housing and strobe(s). This assures an accurate exposure almost every time in normal shooting situations.

- Near neutral buoyancy dependent on water salinity and port(s) used.

- Easy installation and maintenance.

- Best customer service in the industry.

- Proven reliability: 51 years in business.


Advantages of an aluminum housing over an Ikelite housing:

- Nothing comes to mind.
