Sea & Sea Launches DX-100 Digital SLR Housing

New housing for the Nikon D100 camera makes professional-level digital underwater imaging a reality The Nikon D100 SLR has a high-resolution 6.31 megapixel CCD sensor, capable of capturing images that rival film in quality. It can record up to three frames per second with no shutter delay. ISO control from 200 to 1600 enables adjustment as needed for changing available light conditions. It features 3D Digital Matrix Image Control for unparalleled metering, Auto White Balance, Dynamic Auto focus, D-TTL flash control, all performing in tandem to deliver superior detail, precise exposure, and color rendition to satisfy the most discerning photographer.Sea & Sea's new DX-100 has been specifically engineered to bring the benefits of D100 to underwater photographers. The DX-100 is a finely crafted, housing constructed of lightweight and rugged ABS resin and polycarbonate. Its ergonomically configured controls provide smooth access to all the camera's vital functions. White balance control can be adjusted to compensate for changing water conditions. Color Balance control can be used creatively or to correct for water color effects. The DX-100 enables you to take full advantage of the camera's fast focusing capabilities and the digital advantages of instant review, ISO control, and virtually limitless frames per dive The annoying shutter lag common on many compact digital cameras has been illuminated. The new D100 SLR takes photos instantly when you push the shutter release. The D100 shoots, looks and feels like a Nikon, exhibiting all the quality Nikon shooters have grown accustom to. The DX-100 incorporates a host of design features that have made Sea & Sea SLR housings so popular: the patented Quick Shoe for single-step, tool-free camera-to- housing assembly, the port lock that prevents ports from loosening and disengaging, double-lock safety latches that prevent accidental opening of the housing. Built for divers, the DX-100 uses large controls for the most used camera functions, providing easy operation even with a gloved hand. The viewfinder has a rubber bumper o-ring for resting directly on a mask faceplate. The housing has adjustable handgrips and is impressively well balanced underwater.The DX-100 is complemented by an integrated system of Sea & Sea NX ports and companion gears to accommodate the AF Nikkor lenses from super wide angle to super macro. The housing is compatible with Sea & Sea's high-performance YS-series strobes via a standard five-pin connector.
