| SeaLife ReefMaster digital camera with SL970 wide-angle lens| On the web: Pioneer Research SeaLife ReefMaster Digital Camera and Accessory Lenses We look forward to offering a complete review of these cameras and housings once they are available for in-water testing, but as of this writing, the first housings are only now shipping from Japan. With polycarbonate and ABS construction, interchangeable ports, standard Nikonos five-pin bulkheads, and the extraordinary ergonomics for which Sea & Sea has become famous, these housings usher in a new era of affordable digital SLR imaging. Among the first to market is the Sea & Sea DX-D100 (for the Nikon D100) and the DX-30/60 (because the Canon D60 and its earlier version, the D30, are the same size, the same housing fits both). The digital advantages are obvious and compelling, so to no one's surprise the race was launched among housing manufacturers to adapt these cameras to underwater use. Imagine over 100 high-resolution images on a single dive, all able to be converted from the original RAW capture mode into 33-megabyte TIF files. Imagine reasonably priced cameras with virtually no digital lag, file resolution able to shoot cover-sized images or even 16 x 20 enlargements, and able to accept up to 1-gigabyte CompactFlash or MicroDrives to boot.
The Nikon D100 and the Canon D60 and D30 are each six-megapixel cameras that accept all the interchangeable lenses and dedicated strobes provided by their respective companies. The hot new digital single-lens-reflex cameras this season are from Nikon and Canon.
