Underwater housing...

[kenny77]

Does any one know if Fuji has underwater housing for a S5200. or if there is any aftermarket housing for this camera?

Try adorama.com they have a great underwater camera section. All the top-end stuff, I am sure someone makes a housing for your camera.

Thank. I have been working on making a plastic bag for my camera like TRIDENT WATERPROOF CAMERA BAG. so far I have try it with an old camera and it work good. Still have to test it in differente water pressure to see how much it will resist

Don't know how much you value that camera, but as a very experienced diver, a little bit of pressure, like 30 feet, will cause some serious problems. The bag does not resist the pressure. It will squeeze down on the camers. That's why the waterproof disposables stop working at 15 feet.

I bought the canon housing for my A70 and it takes great shots. And I know it won't flood as it is a sound design. It only cost $170.
Check out this shot!

Better to spend a little and get a decent housing that will last....

I use a canno A70 too...see my red sea thread...those pics were taken with the A70. I modified the hosing by gluing a red filter over the lens casing to drown out the blue and give better color.

My avatar was also taken with the A70./..

Do you have any strobes for that housing? ? I used to have the Sea and Sea MX10 with the strobe, which I loved.
That picture was taken on a very overcast day without any strobe. A little blue......

I just got back from a diving trip to Curacao.
I took lots of pictures with my Canon s410 w/housing.
Went I got back, I ran the photos through some photo programs to improve the results.......

Here's what it can do....

Sorry for the pixilation, but it was on the original.

You can use any "paint" program that allows color processing, but I use Paint shop pro 9.
