View Full Version : Underwater Housing for Canon 350D rey laguda 05-23-2006, 05:27 PM i currently use a 350d. would like to bring this down u/w. would you be familiar which housings are best? i've come across ikelite, sea&sea and fantasea brands. but not really sure which one is most reliable. what do you normally look for in a housing? thanks. Gutsy Tuason 05-24-2006, 02:21 PM Hi Rey, what I look for in a housing is one, being able to access all the functions of the camera underwater, two - that it is a mechanical housing and three - what the hpousing is made of. Currently of all the manufacturers that produce the housing for the 350d your best bet will be to go with the Sea & Sea cheers, Gutsy Carlo R. Lopez 05-24-2006, 06:38 PM i suggest you consider housings made of aluminum instead of polycarbonate. they are more durable plus they look much cooler:) consider the aquaticas or nexus. by the way ive seen a few used subals in ebay Gutsy Tuason 05-31-2006, 10:42 AM rey, carlo is right except i don't think nexus makes a housing for your camera. just swithch over to nikon bro, keep away from the canon light.

Gutsy Tuason 06-06-2006, 12:10 PM Hi Randy, Nikon or canon do not make housings for their DSLR cameras. These are camera companies and they would rather let other companies develop housings for their cameras. I don't know of any pros using olympus for underwater shooting. I would stick to either canon or nikon for underwater and get a housing from either Aquatica,Nexus,Subal,Sea & Sea and Seacam.
