If the stats on the D90 replacement are correct, this will be a nice camera, particularly if there is effective video autofocus as claimed.

It would be toooo nice if she fits the D90 housing, but would it be worth another (hypothetic) 800-1200$
only for the body? Maybe a dedicated video camera will do the trick better.

I really like the D90 - so upgrades to this model would probably make me envious, but...$$$ get in the way.

The same happened to me so I bought a second D90 body.
In order to protect my shutter button that I broke twice, I am now putting a round patch of heavy rubber scotch on the button.
The body stays in my housing... Funny enough, the shutter button is now broken, but it works fine with this patch.

Damien - Thanks for letting me know I am not the only one. Mine was still under warranty so Nikon fixed it, but I am worried about it happening again (and the warranty runs out in a month). Can you put a picture up showing what you did? I would like to be able to do the same if needed.
Interesting, I noticed that we both have the same housing and setup. Wonder if this has to do with the housing or the camera body (shutter button)?
Thanks - DiverPam

My D90 is no longer under warranty, but my trick works.
The shutter button is made in a very poor plastic quality.
The problem comes from the trigger always pushing the exact same part of the button...
I explained my case to Aquatica and they provided me with a new trigger that I still have to implement to my housing.
send me a message with your email address on flickr and I'll doit.

We have the exact same rig !!!!

Pam and Damien was the shutter button issue one of 'wearing out' the button till it would no longer function?
Damien does your fix effect the feel of the 1/2 press?
Cheers,
Jim.

The speculation that I really like is "same noise performance like the D700!" that would be nice indeed.

Jim - I have only had mine since last August. I would think that it would not have "worn out" in that time frame. I have had it on three dive trips (using every day for 1-2 weeks at a time on trips). I just read Damien's post and will be interested to see what the fic is.

This means that Nikon will announce the D400. It will be a great camera and just barely not fit in a Subal D300 housing.

Just sent in a check to get the Subal D300s back for my Subal D300 housing.
This means that Nikon will announce the D400. It will be a great camera and just barely not fit in a Subal D300 housing.
Thank you for doing so! I was waiting for the D400 and now I am 100% sure it will be announced shortly!

I buy my own photographic kit. Diving equipment manufacturers and diving services suppliers get even-handed treatment from me whether they choose to advertise in the publications I write for or not. All the equipment I get on loan is returned as soon as it is finished with. Did you know you can now get Diver Mag as an iPad/Android app?

You keep the 1/2 press effect.

I bought a second body, but I have already scratches on my new button. I also place some ducktape on the button to protect it? May be Aquatica can offer protection for the shutter button? Looks to me that only Aquatica users have the problems with broken shutter buttons ?

Is there anyone else who has had this problem.
