    what settings are you shooting on? post the camera settings such as shutter speed, aperture etc. under the above images so we can have a look... Strobes would be a massive help, but it also looks like there's a lot of ambient light. Also - any chance you're fogging up before going in the water?

    Here's another reference to a different 3d printed version which I've been using for months without fail in cold water: http://wetpixel.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=58769

    I haven't got any experience with them, but the Fantasea/AOI UWL 09F doesn't look too bad at $450 less, although, obviously the Nauticam is better build quality, the specs seem matched for the most part. Here's a review you can send his way: https://www.bluewaterphotostore.com/uwl09-review-and-tests They also released a "Pro" version now which has a Glass dome instead of the Acrylic on the standard version (but then it becomes more expensive than the Nauticam) http://www.fantasea.com/s.nl/it.A/id.790/.f

    I'm a full advocate of get your best bang-for-buck and I find it hard to beat the G7Xii packages out there... I shoot with a Fantasea or Ikelite housing and find they fit the purpose perfectly. I only shoot with 1x Inon Z-240 and find it gives me a decent amount of light (I got it on the cheap - so no complaints) and I only recently (last 2 months got a Fantasea ucl-09 Macro lens) You can see instagram for some reference images: https://www.instagram.com/divealot_za/ and here's one of my favorite ever with no lenses And here's some nice macro with the lens:

    Why not stick with canon and get the G7Xii ? I shoot with Fantasea and Ikelite housings and they're both fine - the ikelite doesn't have a toggle for the flash so you need to raise it before putting it in the housing. They both accept wet lenses which are nice (Fantasea makes great ones too) I also shoot with one Inon Z-240 which I picked up with a pelican case at a steal for around $300. I just take my gear as carry-on luggage as it's never that bulky or heavy and all fits in the peli case... I would recommend that whatever you end up buying, try get it asap and get in the water so you can have decent shots by the time you get to indo

    $2200 Did Black Friday come early? Would scoop this up in a heartbeat if you were close

    Nice video, how do you find the quality? Looks pretty decent to me - how was the viz? And did you use Hypersmooth? and filters? I'll be testing one out in 3 weeks, so far I've only had it above water and I'm pretty happy with it.

    So I thought this was pretty cool, We did a night dive last night and I took a few nice snaps of some Octopii etc. I also took these snaps of a crayfish (that's what we call them here) but it's a "Saltwater spiny lobster" to others Anyway whilst post-processing I looked closer and saw him eating what I believe is a Pipefish, I really had no clue at all while taking the photos...
