Underwater Diving Video Camera

[10 x 3.3 x 0.5"] I went diving for the first time and bought this housing to take my Canon T3i underwater with me. I only dove 7 meters/21 feet, but it worked perfectly fine for me. No leaks or moisture inside at all and it fit my Canon 10-22mm EF-S lens perfectly. There was plenty of room for the flash too. I couldn't really change settings underwater while diving, although I could in the housing above water. I was hoping to switch to movie mode at some point, but wasn't able to. In reality, I don't think I would have been able to hold it straight in front of me steady enough while diving in order to do video anyway. That's probably just because I have no diving experience though. I set it to A+ (scene intelligent auto) mode for the underwater shots so I wouldn't have to change any manual settings. I had to let almost all of the air out in order to get it below the surface of the water, even with the lead weight in the case. Since it wasn't a deep dive, I didn't have any problems with the housing shrinking around the camera at all.I was able to take some photos that I'm really happy with underwater and even above water. The glass doesn't seem to blur the image at all EXCEPT for when you're above water and have water drops on the glass. I also used this case while kayaking in the rain and those shots are blurry.

[1300 Lumens] Easy to handle underwater, lightweight and excellent handle grips. Easy to adjust prior to diving. I paired it with 8" arms and video lights. Works great with my GoPro 8.

[3.7mm] This camera is for underwater professional video. It is a full HD signal. SDI was what I needed. It is a perfect size and can be used with great optic. As all the time B & H was very fast for shipping. I received the camera 2 weeks after the order. Four to six were annonced.

[0.35 lb] Purchased this about a year ago (before it was available in the States). What sold me was the image sensor, the zoom, and the HD video capability. I am very happy with the camera. I purchased the ikelite underwater housing for the camera and it also works great. I have yet to use a strobe with the housing. For on-land use, we bought a small canon flash. It is much brighter than the flash on the camera. Like most camera/flash combos, this camera tends to overexpose pictures taken with a flash. This is easily fixed by using the exposure compensation. We also purchased the lensmate filter adapter for the camera. It attaches to where the hood would attach and allows the use of standard filters. We bought a red filter for underwater use. I am sure the image quality can not compare to a DSLR with specific lenses. Then again, the price is not even close to the cost of a DSLR with designated lenses. For me, the convenience of not carrying extra lenses and the cost savings outweigh any loss of quality. Besides, my eyes are not good enough to pick up on the weaknesses of the camera when I look at the photos. The video looks great. I shot a 12 minute movie at about 80ft in Key West and the movie looks great on our 50inch TV. As with any video camera, the brighter the conditions you're shooting in, the better the video quality. I wouldn't expect this camera to take spectacular video at night without the help of a light. My next purchase for this camera is going to be a strobe and a video light for underwater use. Last thing, we only use lithium batteries in ours. They seem to last long enough to make their added cost worthwhile.
