    Hi Neal

     

    Great to have you with us. I'm sure you'll see lots of names you recognise from "the old forum"......  (RIP)

     

    I'm a D500 shooter myself. Love it! 

     

    Could well be wort advertising your kit here on the Classifieds. Always worth a shot.

     

    Best wishes

    Vacuum System (SeaFrogs)

    in Photography Gear and Technique

    I've found Miso a bit hard to get hold of in the last few months. But persevere. He does reply. I've not seen an update to his website for ages - maybe since v4. He's now up to v6 and seems to sell mainly through dealers. So if you look at the Bluewater website you'll find them there. No sign of a SeaFrogs adaptor there though.

     

    The main parts of the Vivid Sentinel are common to all housings. It's customised to a specific housing by the adaptor that screws on to the base of the Sentinel and then into the housing. So it's the thread on the housing bulkhead which you need to know. So getting a SeaFrogs fit should be doable unless it's some really odd size.. 

     

    Catastrophic housing flood this week.

    Really sorry, Toque, but, yeah, I’m with Chris and Chip.
     

    Dry your tears, claim the insurance if you can…. and start again. You can probably get away with a housing rebuild (not cheap) but the camera body is an amusing story in a few years time. Camera lenses with built-in electronics are equally toast.

    Please Be Wary!

    in Classifieds

    Folks

     

    Thanks to members who drew a potential issue to our attention, we’ve weeded out a scammer who was operating on the site suggesting possible equipment sale possibilities. Thanks guys!

     

    We try very hard to weed out the dodgy and malign. But there are some seriously devious folks out there. 
     

    So please, if a deal sounds dodgy, let us know. We will do what we can to look into it. 
    Please be very wary of offers of equipment away from the forum from people who are low contributing members. If you’re responding to a Classified forum advertisement, have a good look at the bona fides of the person offering. If they are a long-term member with lots of posts, then that is a lot safer than someone who has just joined and immediately lists equipment for sale. 
     

    Please be wary. We don’t want members getting caught out. If you’re not sure, ask us and we’ll do what we can. But bear in mind we can’t be infallible! 
     

    From my own experience over many years, lots of sales between members have been high successful for all parties. Let’s keep it that way!

    My concern is that in another 4-5 years, we will still be living with 20-24MP sensors while Canon, Sony, et al will be offering 50MP with better noise and DR, with bodies that are only marginally larger than the Olympus.

     

    But is having "only" a 20-24MP camera body truly an issue? Does it prevent you from doing something or producing a desired output?

    Quick follow with the latest from Sony Customer Relations. I replied to their previous email, emphasizing that my wireless module was working with Imaging Edge before the update. Here is their response. Essentially, "You can't prove that your wireless was working before the update, so bugger off."
    -------------------
    "Thank you for contacting Sony. We regret to inform you that no one can verify if the software update caused the issue of your unit and this is considered as a normal out of warranty repair. You may contact Precision Camera Repair 860-272-2100 to get a repair estimate. Thank you.

    Nice. Pity he didn't add "have a nice day".

    Me too  but I don^t plan to change my R5 to the R5II I'm happy with mine setup. I bougth a second (for a good price) as reserve ... juste in case of... then if my first R5 have a problem I don't want to change my housing. It will be very expensive much more as the price I pay for the second R5.
    Now I can have one for under water and the second for over I hope I'll shooting many years with it 

     

    But YES it was eypensive to buy the first setup...   for me after 3 year(?)  It was the good decision to invest on it.

     

     

    I've always thought that going with the two identical camera bodies was a good idea. As you say, Caollla, a backup body but also one for topside shooting when one of them is in the housing. Same lenses, same features, same controls. I did this for Nikon D100, D200, D300... and D800. I must admit though I havn't this time around with the D500. I wanted to go to the Z, mirrorless series for topside and havn't made that jump for underwater - and doubt I will.
