D7000 underwater

I have recently started using a Nikon D7000 and have now had the opportunity to take it underwater a couple of times. It is an amazing camera, especially considering it's price. It's rendering of sunbursts is spectacular, especially when compared to that of the Nikon D2Xs that I have been using up until now. It is also amazing to switch the strobes off, and dial in an ISO of 1600 and take ambient light shots that until now have just not been possible for me.

I don't think the AF is quite as good as it could be, I need to live with this a bit more to gain a more complete understanding of what is going on, but the jury is out.

Below are some underwater images taken using the camera:



I will be conducting a review of available housings for this camera on Wetpixel over the next month or so, so if you are interested in this camera for underwater use, please be sure to keep checking the site.
