BMPCC and GX7 do not shoot 4K and I think there is no housing available yet for Samsung NX1.

The LX100 is a fixed lens compact.

You may need to look at dpReview to check the specs of some of these.

You might consider including a listing for external recorder housings needed to allow some of the cameras listed to shoot 4k underwater.

Ikelite does not make a housing for the Samsung NX1 -- its not on their website. I asked them directly if they would, and they said no.

Good news -- Ikelite made a liar out of me (I had emailed them directly several months ago). They decided to release a housing for the Samsung NX1. So there is another 4K option for you!

Hi Eric,

 

There are some housings missing in your list:

 

Seacam is doing Canon 1DC housing and Canon C300 and C500 housing (they can also do 3D housing to accommodate 2x C300 cameras inside, already discussed here on Wetpixel). Isotta (Italian manufacturer) is producing a very nice housing for Lumix Gh4 (http://www.isotecnic.it/prodotti/custodie-mirrorless/custodia-per-panasonic-gh4.html) they are just announced a super RX100iv, and Subal has a Sony A7R/S II housing available.

 

Hope that helps to complete your list.

best
