Hi

I have a Nikon D100 and Aquatica AD100 setup. This is my first Aquatica housing, but for several reasons, I am pretty sure I'll be staying with Aquatica for future requirements.

These reasons are

1. Quality of housing - very good. I do get some paint chipping around the port area, but am glad to hear that is fixed on new housings. Hasn't caused me any problems.

2. Quality of ports - excellent.

3. Ease of Use - very good. Sometimes mounting is a bit fiddly.

4. Bang for buck. Best of class.

5. Service from Aquatica. Simply put, Blake is the man.

I've owned Sea and Sea and Ikelite housings in the past. Ike is also great, but I personally prefer the metal housings.

Sea and Sea make an excellent product, but I think that their digital series was a serious step back. The F80 housing I had was wonderful - compact, light, well engineered, etc. But the D100 housing was all the opposite things.

I know Nexus have a good product, but would highly recommend the Aquatica product.

Best wishes

Des
