Has anyone heard about this company and its products. Any opinions about this product?

Hi Mike.

I don´t know this house but looking at the pictures, but it seems that you are not going to have access to all the buttons (at least in a d70s). Take a look and compare:

My opinion, wait a little bit more and spent a little bit more of money (i supposse that´s your problem is the same that mine ... the money).

Excuse my poor english if wrong.

Hi Mike,

I don't think I can stress more than DO NOT BUY FANTASEA . I have seen many issues with floods and uncorresponding buttons and god knows what other issues... not what I would put my nice D70 in!!! Check out Sea & Sea they make a great housing for that camera!!!

Enjoy,

Lee

There are lots of horror stories on the net about Fantasea housings (I don't know who actually makes them) which might be attributable to either a poor design or self selection in the folks that buy them. Buying the absolutely cheapest of anything is usually not the smartest way to go. If I were you I would take a strong look at Ikelite, their housings while less expensive than Subal/Seacam/Nexus et al are quite robust and if it floods you know it was your fault, not the design.
