Dec 20, 2002 - Light & Motion continues to move forward in Underwater Digital Photography with the introduction of the Titan D100, Digital SLR Photo Housing. Titan is a professional grade housing that pushes underwater digital photography to the next level. The Titan D100 is designed specifically for the Nikon D100 6.1 mega-pixel digital SLR. The D100 supports Compact Flash and Microdrive which provide massive storage capabilities that enable the user to save hundreds of high-resolution images. The Titan D100 Housing includes fingertip access to most camera controls using both mechanical interfaces, as well as infrared through the newly designed Smart Grips.

Wetpixel.com has been fortunate enough to obtain photographs of the first production Aquatica D-100 Digital Housing! The new housing accepts the same ports and gears as Aquatica's A90, A100 and A5 housings. We will have a review soon. [see photographs]

Our sponsors Marine Camera Distributors have written to us to let us know that they have the Subal D100 housing in stock!

They have also received and sold out of their first batch of Nexus D100 housings.

The size of the housing was a plus and it had the look and feel of an advanced professional system..." [read the article]

Backscatter has posted an interesting -- and extremely comprehensive -- article about digital SLRs (in particular, the Nikon D100): "Digital is the best solution for all new shooters that are remotely comfortable with computers. The value of instant feedback is priceless. Experienced shooters that have a working knowledge and a high success ratio with film techniques will need to evaluate their options more closely. For myself, the new digital SLR’s offer me the user interface and exposure control that I have been looking for and are o­nly inhibited with their inability to capture extreme highlight detail at the same quality as film. Based o­n my experiences detailed below, digital, specifically the Nikon D100 is about to become my choice for 90% of my underwater work." [read the article]
