anybody using the Nikon P7000 in a Fantasea housing?
Looking for comments on a p7000 in a fantasea housing. It looks like a great way to get into a housed camera for a cheap price (right now, the housing and camera combined price is about $600). I realize that a housed DSLR would give me better photos, but at my age and accessibility to diving, it just doesn't make sense economically. I have used a Nikonos V in the past (the ancient past!) and still have the camera, lights and lenses, but the idea of being able to shoot more than 36 frames on a dive is very alluring.
I just bought this camera. Tested it on one dive and is quite pleased. I have no ekstra light or strobes, so I'm limited to working my other lights.
Here is Harry the slug. Taken at Gylte in the Oslofjord. Light is internal flash, and a UK C4 eLed. Temp about 3*celcius.
Put a small set-up together this last summer and love it. YS-01 strobe and Light&Motion SOLA 500 video light. Works great for me. I'll post some shots and video later if you like.
This was taken at the safetystop at 5meters. We were diving next to a local divecentre, and they have platforms at 5m. Taken around 1900pm, which obviously gives that it was a nightdive.
