Fantasea Canon G9 X Housing Review

We review specs, innovative touch screen access, ergonomics, and sample content shot with the Fantasea FG9 X underwater housing

 

The Fantasea FG9X housing is the latest in a great line of compact camera housings and will be a staple in the world of compact camera underwater photography. The housing is a great way or beginners to get their G9X into the water, but also allows access to all camera functionality, and when combined with wet lens accessories, strobes and lights, becomes a very powerful underwater imaging system.

Worth the Wait? You Betcha! Complete housing review, detailed feedback and underwater photos from Aquatica’s Sony a7 II housing

Aquatica Sony A7R II Housing Review

Worth the Wait? You Betcha! Complete housing review, detailed feedback and underwater photos from Aquatica’s Sony a7 II housing

Aquatica waited. They were late to the party in releasing their housing for the much celebrated Sony A7RII. While other manufacturers raced each other to market with early A7 versions, Aquatica stayed cool, took a step back and looked more carefully at the A7 camera design. They watched the evolution of the A7 series become what it is today - a very noteworthy high performance camera. The payoff? They released a pro level housing for the Sony A7R II the first time out. No kits, no retrofits, no redesigns. They did it right the first time. Definitely worth the wait!
