Hey Jan, thanks for your input. I really value your opinion. You’ve helped me out before, just not on a forum. There’s about a $4000 difference between the Gates and the Equinox. Is that just a depth issue or is there more to it? If the Equinox is a good safe pracical unit and the D.P. can use all the buttons and rings alright, I just assume get that for $3000. Thanks.

I looked at one or two of those. They seem really nice but I think they cost more then the camera it’s self. I also dive and was thinking about a housing. The one thing that I was wondering is the low light shooting if your not using lights. There is noticable amount grain when I have shot in low light. But not noticable when things are well lit.

I’m really wanting to see some underwater shots using this camera before I dive into an underwater housing.

I know the guy at Gates has taken the HVX under and would probably be able to share some footage.

Best,

Jan, I would love to see some of that footage! I thought Panasonic had an underwater housing as well?

Hi Doka,

Contact the Housing Guys for that footage. And no we do not have an underwater housing under our own label.

Best,

Jan
