I posted this in our SoCal regional forum, but in case any other Nikon shooters are interested, here's a short video shot on our Nikon D7000 last week. My first attempt underwater, and on a shore dive with less than ideal conditions, but it gives a sense of what is achievable.
Aquatica housing + Tokina 10-17mm + 4" mini dome + dual Salvo 35W HIDs with video reflectors.
Mostly shot at 10mm (I'd like to try more at 17mm next time to kill some of the fisheye effect), ISO 100-400, f/4.5, manual settings (other than autofocus which was locked a couple feet away).
Look forward to getting in more dives with this rig in the coming months. We got the setup with a focus on video only for now (we've been shooting the D7000 topside for about a year now).
For 1080p HD, select the "HD" option (if you have a fast connection), otherwise leave "HD" off.
