If you use the D80 in a housing underwater you'll not miss the absence of a titanium body. If you shoot in RAW mode and convert with Abode RAW converter on your computer, you can have any colours you want. (Ken Rockwell refers to in-camera conversion jpegs in his review of the D300.) Don't buy a camera like this to shoot jpegs!

HI,
I noticed on sat that the price of the D300 is coming down already
Jessops were selling them for £1099 retail price £1299, also you can buy
D200 for £749 this is a great price for this great camera. As far as housings
go most of the housing manufacturers can not keep up with the bodies on
sale now with out all the new ones coming out. I had a five month wait for
my D200 Seacam housing. Dates for new housings (new bodies) are months
away & I would say that Ikelite will be one if not the first to bring them out.
Andy

Christian,
Just because a housing has been announced doesn't mean it's AVAILABLE. Ocean Optics in the UK hasn't got them yet. If the housings aren't in the hands of divers then how can anyone comment on their ability underwater?? Just click on "Sample Images" from Digideep and you'll get my point; "We did not receive any underwater images for this product, yet." Unless I've missed something on Digideep, Wetpixel, etc etc, no one has taken one underwater yet.

I hear what you're saying but the Hugyfot IS available (see Hugy's website) and at least the others are well and truly in the pipeline.

Fair enough, but we don't have a distributor for Hugyfot in the UK, so unless someone's imported one there isn't one on these shores yet.

Better still - use the discount code 'XMAS55' and you can get the D300 for £1044 from Jessops!

AIUI,

there is no longer a Hugy distributor largely due to quality issues with the housings - rather a few returned due to unexplained floodings.

They do look great but for now, in the UK, I'd look elsewhere.
