Subal D70 Review by Alex Mustard
We have just posted a review of the Subal housing for the Nikon D70, written by Wetpixel moderator and contributor Dr. Alex Mustard. Alex has put together some photos of the housing showing the control layout and a comparison with the Subal D10 housing for the Nikon D100. It looks like the new D70 housing is considerably more compact.

Subal Subal D70 ...
Special Thanks to Steve at Ocean Frontiers
First impression of the Subal housing is that it is very compact. It is smaller than the Subal D100 housing in width, height and depth. It is much smaller than the Sea and Sea D70 housing and much, much smaller than the Sea and Sea D100 housing! The camera slotted straight in to the housing straight out of the box. The housing looks strong, tough and there is good weight saving machining on the inside.

New Feature Article Added - Using Photoshop CS to Correct CA
In this article, I'd like to talk about a photographic feature that until now has only been available through special third-party software – chromatic aberration (CA) correction. CA can occur when shooting using a film camera, OR a digital camera. The advantage for digital shooters is that this aberration can be corrected when converting the RAW file (the digital negative) to a photograph.
