We received a pre-DEMA press release from Watershot Digital announcing two new products.  The 350D housing will be machined from aluminum in a compact ergonomic design, has full control access and an optional 45 degree angled 1.2x magnification action finder.  The Speedlite 580EX housing will be injected molded polycarbonate with full control access, dome type flash port and integral laser pointer.  Check their new website for full details.

A month ago I purchased a Hugyfot Nikon D70(s) housing as a follower to my much loved Hugy Atlan 81 for the Nikon F80. At the same time I also promised to write up a short review for Wetpixel on the the housing.  The housing, as can be expected from Hugyfot/Greenforce is very well made by CNC machining out of a solid block of aluminium. The finish is satin dark grey, not painted but I suppose anodised. It feels very nice in the hand.

As many of you know, we have long been searching for a way for our community to formally review underwater photography equipment.  The new Consumer Review area of Wetpixel provides a place for our users (and the greater online photography community) to add their own reviews of both topside and underwater photography and video equipment. 

To power the new section, Wetpixel has teamed up with PCPhotoREVIEW.com and PhotographyREVIEW.com, two of the oldest and best online resources for digital camera and related photo equipment reviews by consumers. 

Note that the items and categories in the Consumer Review area are not yet fully developed, and new products may take some time to be added and categorized properly.
