Water protective enclosures

[Alex]

Hi,

I'd like to purchase a water protective housing for my Nikon D70 (not scuba equipment), just to protect from splashes, etc.

Has anyone tried products from these people before?

Alex,

I have never used one personally, but a guy I used to work with bought one for his camera. (I'm sorry I don't remember what camera it was, but I think it was one of those almost SLRs - looks like an SLR but you can't change the lenses.) He wanted to use it to take photographs while snorkelling.

While it did work for him, he found that it did not fit the camera well and twisted around making it difficult to access the controls and sometimes the lens port would twist enough that the edges could be visible in some shots.

This would be a definite case of trying it out on your camera before you buy it.

Thanks guys. I ordered one will test it out.

i bought a U-BXP100 and it fits my d70,d200 and the d2x with a 77mm adapter so i can use the 12-24, 85 1.4 and the 28-70 you can see some of the shots here http://robw.smugmug.com/gallery/749189#122488066
