Hi Folks,

I know it's only been a little while now since its release but surely there's some folks out there who have taken one for a dive. I'm
keen on this camera as an upgrade choice from a compact but still would like to see how it goes UW. I still haven't noticed any photos
taken with one UW on any of the forums, perhaps people are waiting for other choices than the Ikelite housing. If anyone has some images
from one or can provide any links I would be most thankful.

Cheers,
Jim

Hi,
I have a plan to test Patima D90 housing in mid December.

Sam

Great I look forward to your findings and images.


Anybody else have some news........... ............anyone?




Jim

Not the D90 but found some housings for the D200 on Sea&Sea's clearance thread for under $1500. Anyone thinking about jumping up to a DSLR would have to take a long look at those.

Jim theres a site that compared sensors between camera's, and it found the D90 has a very nice sensor for an APS-C type camera, significantly better than my 50D under their criteria or a D300.

I dont think you've got anything to worry about other than your bank balance .

Hoping to test out my D90/Tokina 10-17 set up in an Ikelite housing (assuming I can borrow it..) in Thailand end of January.. Looking forward to it

We just about finished the housing design on this one, the housing will be reflecting our new direction in housing design.

This camera is a good bang for bucks if you ask me,

Hoping also to test soon my D 90 in my newly refurbished DX 80 housing from Sea and sea , as there so little changes to make !!
In January we will be to Soccoro

Jean when will the Aquatica housing be on the market?



Any other manufacturers with anything in the pipeline too?


Cheers,
Jim.

Hi Jim, I figure mid February is when this housing will hit the market. hopefully the holliday season won't disturb our schedule.

Zilion has announced the release of ZAPD-90 .

IMI has announced the release of Housing for D-90.

Thanks Jean and Yoko, gee Zilion have some funky colours!

Jim

Hi Jim,
I think that Zillion are the housing of choice for Tony Wu and deserve some serious consideration.
In my opinion, (hehehe) they are streets ahead of Ike housings as far as 'plastic' housings are concerned.
Just my humble opinion of course. . . . .
Bruce...

Hey Jim, don't know if you saw, but DD Photographics have the D90 (as well as the 50D) on sale at the moment.

They do look like a good build but I have a DS125 and if I go Ike I can just plug it in and maybe pick up another of someone upping to a DS160.
Besides I couldn't see an ORANGE one, for the life of me stuffed if I could find a view in english button or link on that site. So it was just pictures
and characters for me.

Jim.

PS any news on those lens?

Thanks for that Ryan, I was looking at DDP as one of the best options but with that development it suddenly just
got even better Now all I need is some work

Jim.

Hi all, I don't have any knowledge about latest models in camera but this information seems quite good for me. I will definitely go for it. Thanks!

The Hugyfot website says they'll have a D90 housing by the end of the year:
