Digital underwater photography is really coming into its own, with the rapid adoption of digital cameras pushing out a lot of the film-based units of the past. No surprise, really, especially when you consider the massive additional number of photos flash memory gives a photographer in an environment where switching film means switching cameras or heading back to the boat.
This year’s DEMA (Diving Equipment and Marketing Association) trade show certainly bore that out, and WetPixel was there to check out the boatloads of new equipment being shown off, including new inexpensive Pixstreme cameras from Snap Sights (3.1-megapixel, 125-meter cameras for $250) or this new line of DSLR housings from Subal that look like little bathescapes themselves.
