Hey admin, any rumors about new NEX size camera ? any Nex5 update ?
By the way, fist blood 😉
Any rumours of anything at all would be nice.
Yeah, Admin has a bunch of slam-dunk, amazing SR5 rumors waiting to be posted but decided to post this promo snorer instead. Sheesh! ;^)
Oh no!! They are underwater and forgot to put the sd card in. It might not have happened if they brought more than one from the deals on this website.
The screens of these underwater housings is very difficult to see, and the button-design etc. is complex and may leak in the long run. And each house only fits one camera.
It would be much better with a generic housing fitting all cameras, and a Android-device on the back running the camera through remote control software. An extra battery with micro USB could be provided, charging the camera when the camera is in the house.
One housing would then fit all cameras that can be controlled via wifi, the screen would be much easier to see, and there would be only one sealing to worry about.
Even better; one could make a house that included a lens for NEX, made especially for underwater photography. Then one wouldn’t get an extra layer in front of the lens as housing have today.
One housing for all Alpha-Nex cameras…
Have you actually done any underwater photography? You really think you could use an android touch screen underwater through a damn wetsuit?
The screens of professional underwater housings are flush and easy to see, you may have used a cheap counterpart but comparing that to a nauticam housing is foolish. The buttons are easy to operate and not complex?
I get what you are saying but it you sound inexperienced in this particular style of shooting.
Who said anything about touch-screen?
Android was originally designed to be used with buttons, not touch.
For this price, it’s better to buy a Nikon 1 AW1, no?
The AW1 cannot go deep enough for diving, and would probably leak very soon anyway. My AW110 died while swimming.
What I don’t understand is why they make it at all – from a market potential point of view.
I am asking myself who is in need to dive 200m and taking images? Likely some marine biologists or some photographers with special orders.
So they are earning money with images of best possible quality. In 200m you also need proper light, so you need a lot more than just an RX100M3 in a capable housing.
And if you earn real big money with it, wouldn’t you dive with a pro camera?
Btw, anybody visiting the Photokina 14 I recommend to visit Nauticams stand. It’s intersting to talk to the guys about special orders and real pro diving equipment they have in their protfolio.
I did during PK 12 and was very impressed. 🙂
A thousand dollars is just insane.
Well, it’s a specialized and low volume product. It’s produced in the photo gear world where there are some crazy prices on stuff and ‘cheap’ is often more than a grand (like discussions of tele primes). Plus, it’s going to be used by people with money to go scuba diving. I don’t have experience scuba diving but I suspect it isn’t exactly the cheapest pastime.
I wish there was one for my a58 🙁
Is there a hole anywhere for the EVF?
