Using the Nikon D2X Underwater
Rob Galbraith has a fascinating article about using the new 12 megapixel Nikon D2X digital SLR underwater.
“There’s no way to be sure, but Alex Mustard could well have been the first person to jump in the ocean with a Nikon D2X. He got his camera in late February 2005, on the first day they were available in Britain. More surprisingly, he was able to get an underwater housing for it almost simultaneously. The Austrian housing manufacturer, Subal, had used the nearly identical body and controls of Nikon’s D2H to develop a housing for the D2X before it had even shipped. A plane ticket to the environs of the Red Sea completed the recipe, and a week after taking delivery on Nikon’s flagship digital SLR, in early March 2005, Mustard had it submerged in seawater, just where he wanted it.”
