Nauticam announced a new Housing for the Sony A6000. These are the key features:
 |
Signature Nauticam Port Locking System The iconic red locking lever is right at home on the NA-A6000; lens/port changes made quick, easy and secure. |
|---|---|
 |
Vacuum System: The integrated vacuum check and leak detection system adds extra assurance of watertight integrity. Use it without an optional vacuum valve and it serves as a audible/visual water ingress detector. Add the vacuum valve, and get watertight integrity indication via a color coded LED light. |
 |
EVF/LCD Switch: Switch between EVF and LCD with the flick of a switch. And for an even better view, add the optional LCD window to utilize one of Nauticam’s legendary enhanced viewfinders! |
 |
Locking Latch: The locking latch, proven in use with thousands of housings, is secure and easy to use. |
 |
Ergonomic Controls: Controls on the housing are designed with shooting in mind, and each control is clearly labeled. |

I just saw that the price for the NEX-7 Nauticam is $1700. This may be justified, but still very expensive! I’d rather buy a Nikon 1 AW1 for not even half of this.
I was thinking to myself ‘I bet this costs more than the camera’, but if it costs 3x the camera it’s just crazy. It is a very nice plastic box though…
its not plastic. its aluminum
I have one for the NEX-5N that costs about $100. Totally worth it! And you have a big sensor then (contrary to the AW1).
For us enthusiasts it seems to be of a crazy pricing.
Nauticam housings are very professional. Besides moneyed people purchasing it as a toy, most buyers are earning money with their underwater images, so it seems to be worth it if you need the housing every day. (i had a chat with a sales guy during the last Photokina in 12).
There are cheaper camera housings for around 200€ which are perfectly for enthusiasts. I would not need a housing for diving at 100m (I am no apnoe diver, hihi).
I’m not a serious diver or anything, so I just use a GoPro for any stills or video I shoot underwater or while I’m in the pool. It’s just point-and-shoot quality and doesn’t have a flash, but the whole investment is less than $400 including the case, and I don’t have to worry about putting my expensive camera in the water.
I wait for the Meikon housing to come out, they are perfect, functional, mine is still tight at 60m and they cost less then 200$.
Love it. But it will be very expensive
It looks like it might cost more than the camera.
I didn’t realize this company is only miles away from me!
What lens will it accommodate?
The list of compatible lenses is on thier website
Hats off to Nauticam for bringing the housing so quickly into production / the vacuum system is brilliant.
Looks fairly compact as well
Dimensions: 192mm x 124mm x 88mm
