Underwater Housing for 350D

[jayhan]

I've got a Redang trip all planned out for this July. Would appreciate some heads up for an underwater housing for a 350D for snorkling purpose & some underwater dive not exceeding 15ft.

Is there anywhere I can get such stuff in KL for either rental basis, or economically cheap for purchase? Better still if anyone can loan :P

All tips and help regarding this is very much appreciated. Cheers!

underwater housing in KL forget it, dont waste your time.. you can't even find it here...unless u use P&S..

Better find it in SG or Jay, suggest ebay purchase from the states. Prepare to fork out premium...a simple P&S underwater casing already cost almost RM700. If DLSR would be in the thousand :D

Pinjam... err..unless u have friends who are in diving mode :cool:

also some other brands such as AQUAPAC and DICAPAC. have you guys seen anyone using them before?

An underwater case for an SLR will cost you in the region of RM4000, it's much cheaper to buy a good compact and the case.

I'm thinking of a Canon A710 IS + casing or G7 + Casing, both are in the region of 2k.

Underwater casing for DSLR will be more expensive than the camera usually. N for different lens it need different types of underwater lens case.

Example: D2x under water camera casing alone is cost more than RM12k :Eyecrazy:

If you not use frequently then just get a PnS camera n a underwater casing will be a better choice JayHan

To invest in DSLR underwater casing, you need to invest a good strobe too. Imagine minimum spending of RM6k min depending which brand you are taking. Secondly there is addition $$ to spend on lens case unless you use only 1 lens at all time.

Consider investing on PnS (high megapixel, optical zoom, super macro, anti-shake, user friendly buttons and features) + underwater casing. You might spend RM4k max?! Moreover PnS built-in flash is more powerful than DSLR built-in flash.




















BTW, Euro conversion to RM is sap sap sui :D

Yah I'm gonna get me a Powershot A710 IS or a G7 and underwater case, both combo are between 2-3K plus can add on a proper external strobe for awesome results for another 1.5k.

So say 4.5k can have really good setup.
