Ikelite just relased a new housing for the Nikon D5100 today (15/07/11). Im torn on which camera to get. Im presently using a D70s .
The cameras are almost identical save for focal points 11 vs 39 and the veiw finder coverage 95% vs 100%.
Both have the same sensor 16.2 megapixels with the Expeed 2 processor. The D5100 records video in mono and the D7000 in stereo but does that matter underwater?
What do you guys think? Here in Canada the D5100 costs ~$700.00 and the D7000 is ~$ 1150.00
Is it worth the extra $450 bucks for the D7000.
What dou you guys think?
thanks

D7000, no question.
The D5100 has only one command dial. That, for me is a killer, even before you look at the other differences.
Seven for photo heaven. D5100 - no AF with non AF-S lenses, such as all fisheyes.
