Press release: Aquatica AD 7000 housing for the Nikon D7000 cameraĪquatica D7000 housing offered at a great price You can read the full press release below. Ikelite, Sea & Sea and Nauticam also offer Nikon D7000 housings, and the Aquatica AD7000 housing will be priced higher than Ikelite, but less than Nauticam. It also allows auto-focus during hi-def video mode. The Nikon D7000 is a camera in very high demand, with a 16 megapixel sensor, a solid magnesium alloy body and controls similar to the Nikon D90. Sync ports can be dual electrical, dual optical, or have one of each. They have an innovative rear dial control which replicates the dial on the D7000 camera, allowing you for example to make diagonal movements with the dial. In addition, the housing will be lighter than previous housings. Most of the parts will be laser-cut instead of bending stainless steel rods, which allows the housing parts to have more accurate and extreme shapes, so controls will be smoother and more precise. I spoke with Aquatica, and they explained to me the new technology that they are using for this housing.
With a retail price of $2689, it is at a great price point, and will compete well with the Sea & Sea housing, and the Nauticam D7000 housing. Aquatica is producing a great underwater housing for the Nikon D7000 which will be ready in early 2011.
