Hi Roman, Give a look at the Seafrog option. It's an housing for a popular commercial model which is sold on Amazon Prime too (here in Italy). So you could just try it on your desk if it has all the features you need.

In a major breakthrough, scientists have finally identified the cause of a devastating marine epidemic that has killed billions of sea stars along the North American Pacific coast since 2013. The culprit is a bacterium, Vibrio pectenicida, which is in the same family as the one that causes cholera in humans. For years, a lack of knowledge about marine animal diseases made it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the widespread die-off. This disease, which affects over 20 different species, causes the sea stars to develop lesions and lose their arms. The discovery by a team of Canadian and U.S. researchers now offers hope for understanding and potentially addressing this significant ecological crisis.

Thanks for your effort. I look forward to see the turtle clip. IIRC 😉 you should have a Lee Dark Salmon gel which appeared to be very promising in the land test. When do you plan to test it? P.S. Rosco 3310 is EOL so we need another champion

How does the build quality seem to you? What about the batteries? Its compartment and type of closure? And the controls? Basically, I'm asking you for a dry pre-review (an initial assessment without using it in water). 🤣🤣🤣

Here's another tidbit to add to my complaint about Vimeo. Yesterday, a new member posted links to some videos on Vimeo.... If you're not a Vimeo member, you can't watch the video because the user forgot to set the age rating. This is a very common oversight if you're not careful on their convoluted publishing page. We've become a bunch of bigots, and their lawyers are terrified that a video might upset the viewer, who, meanwhile, is bombarded with garbage on social media. But even if you have an account, you're not out of the woods yet! If you're in Europe, you can watch the video, but if you like the creator, you can't view their other videos because their account icon isn't linked. Ok, you're not one to give up easily, so you try searching for them using the search bar. No luck there either, because for us Europeans, the search bar is limited to finding OUR videos. The only alternative is to search for it using Google's search engine. At that point, you can see their profile, but to navigate from one video to another, you still have to use your browser's navigation functions because all links have been removed from the page. An naive person might think that a European user pays a lower subscription fee, but no: all these tortures are free. I hope that in December, the moment I cancel my subscription, Vimeo definitively fails.

Canon has released new major firmware for the EOS R5 Mark II for the second time in a week. This update fixes an issue where video could not be recorded correctly when using a memory card larger than 2TB with the [Pre-recording] setting enabled. This firmware (Version 1.1.1) includes fixes for the following issues identified in Version 1.1.0: 1. Fixes an issue where video could not be recorded correctly when using a memory card larger than 2TB with the [Pre-recording] setting enabled. This firmware also incorporates the following changes introduced in Firmware Version 1.1.0: 1. Improves security features. A password must be set initially. • Adds the ability to review the history of any changes made to the password, network information, or other settings. *For more information, please refer to the 'Setting a Password' section in the Advanced User Guide on cam.start.canon. 2. Enables firmware updates to be performed when the camera is connected to the internet and new firmware is made available on Canon servers. 3. Adds the ability to automatically detect Flicker at 100 or 120 Hz during Live View display. 4. Adds the ability to register focus position as a presets on the CR-A100 Camera Remote Application. This ability makes it easier to focus on subjects at the intended distance when the application is used with Robotic Camera System CR-S700R. 5. Adds the ability to select [Case Special] to expand Servo AF characteristics which is effective for subjects located behind a net in sporting events, such as badminton or volleyball. 6. Adds support for the Software Development Assistance Kit (EDSDK/CCAPI). 7. Adds a function that simultaneously protects images when they are rated. 8. Improves image stabilization control for lenses compatible with Peripheral Coordinated Control. 9. Adds the ability to use up to 8TB of CFexpress cards. Note - Cards larger than 8TB require low-level formatting by the camera. - Cards larger than 8TB are treated as 8TB cards. - Cards larger than 2TB cannot be used for firmware updating. 10. Adds to lower the image capture frame rate to help prevent overheating when connected to CR-A100 in extended remote shooting. 11. When transferring images with voice memos via FTP, the transfer order priority has now changed with voice memo (Wav) file being sent first followed by image file. If a voice memo is added to an image queued for transfer, the image and voice memo are now sent last. 12. Adds the ability to set the number of shots captured in pre-continuous shooting mode. 13. Adds the ability to set [Airplane mode] to shooting button customization. 14. Adds the ability to enable [Exposure Simulation] when a flash unit is attached. 15. Improved AF tracking during video capture for subjects that are difficult to focus on. 16. Fixes an issue in which Err70 may occur when enlarging an image after shooting with [Blackout-Free Display] set to "On" and [Servo 1st image priority/One-Shot AF release priority] set to "Release priority". 17. Fixes an issue in which Err70 may occur during Bluetooth communication due to interference from other Bluetooth devices. 18. Fixes an issue in which Err70 may occur when repeatedly shooting in the "High-speed continuous shooting +" mode. 19. Fixes an issue in which Err70 may occur immediately after startup when shooting with the electronic shutter. 20. Fixes an issue in which Err70 may occur during video recording in "FHD239.8P/200.0P". 21. Fixes an issue in which Error 70 may occur while filming in video mode with frame rate set to “50.00P” and [Movie Digital IS] set to “On” or “Enhanced”. 22. Fixes an issue in which Err70 may occur during shooting when both [Pre-recording] and [Auto send] to image.canon are set to "Enable". 23. Fixes an issue in which the camera may stop functioning properly when [Image Review] is set to "Off" and the monitor entered low brightness mode after pre-continuous shooting. 24. Fixes an issue in which video recording may not be possible when using Remote Live View shooting in EOS Utility while outputting via HDMI. 25. Fixes an issue in which large RAW image files may not be transferred via Camera Connect. 26. Fixes an issue in which a horizontal line may appear momentarily in the viewfinder. 27. Fixes an issue in which the camera may not connect to Wi-Fi 7-compatible routers. -

Fantastic write-up and a huge thank you for putting in the time and effort to create this comparison! Color is very subjective, but I've always thought that, out of the box, Canon's colors and their white balance (WB) underwater are subjectively more beautiful than other major brands, almost perfect as a starting point. Initially, Sony's colors were the worst, but in recent releases, Sony finally has excellent color profiles for underwater shooting too. A few technical points I'd love to discuss: For your custom white balance, were you setting it at depth using a slate? Getting accurate warm tones back can be tricky, and your results with the R5 II look great. Noise on the R5 II: Your finding about the R5 Mark II being the noisiest at base ISO 800 is interesting. If I understand correctly you were using SRaw/CLog 2? RED Color Science: Your comments on the RED's color science underwater match what I've heard from others. It provides a very clean, neutral starting point but requires a more experienced colorist to bring out natural water tones and skin tones compared to Canon's out-of-the-box science. Did you use RED's IPP2 pipeline in Resolve, and which LUTs, if any, did you use as a starting point? The 1DX II: It's fascinating to see the old 1DX Mark II still holding its own, especially on noise. That Motion JPEG codec is ancient but very robust. Its performance here is a testament to the idea that a high-bitrate, intra-frame codec (even if it's 8-bit) can sometimes be easier to work with than a more compressed 10-bit format if not exposed perfectly. It would be interesting to see a more in depth head-to-head comparison between the RED Gemini and the Canon R5 Mark II, both shooting in RAW. 😇 Thank you again for you test

Given the recent discussions about these devices, it might be helpful to listen to this long tutorial. It explains some basic concepts and is geared towards photographers. How much data storage do I need? What is a RAID? Photojournalist David Mark Erickson will provide an overview of the modern data storage and will explain some of the key concepts behind what makes for a robust, safe, and secure data storage setup.

Hi John, it's fantastic that your commitment to documenting the changes you're witnessing is gaining wider recognition. You've absolutely hit on something crucial: underwater photography is a powerful tool. It's not just about capturing beautiful images; it's about providing undeniable visual evidence of what's happening beneath the surface. Your photos and videos show people firsthand the impacts of climate change and other factors. This visual documentation is invaluable for raising awareness and inspiring action. Keep up this vital work!

You're absolutely right. The correct way to handle this would have been not to wait for a disk to fail and then suddenly find yourself with all old disks after 12 years. Instead, it would be to replace just one disk at a time every 2-3 years, depending on its operating hours. Have you ever tried cataloging videos with Lightroom?

Yes, of course, we can do many crazy things. And certainly, this camera steps into Leica territory in terms of price. The point is, I don't see what advantage it could possibly have underwater, other than being a pure exercise in style for its own sake and a waste of money. As @Architeuthis wrote, an A7Cr is the solution worth spending money on.
