I was like a kid at christmas when I got my slr. I've never done much under water so knowing there's a camera that does what you're talking about makes me want to learn to scuba dive! I'm excited to see what pictures you come up with! Have fun Ah how exciting! I was like a kid at christmas when I got my slr.

It is most-likely due to the amount of research and design that goes into making these devices. Not only do they have to keep water out, they also have to deal with the increased pressure at depth, varying temperatures, and practical ease-of-use (operating a camera under water with bulky gloves and a face mask on is not very easy). As for whether they really work... they do. Obviously you'll get what you pay for, but the technology is definitely there. What you have to be careful of is making sure you get the right product for your purposes. A lot of those sandwich bag-looking cases that claim to be underwater housings will probably keep your camera dry under a few feet of water, but wouldn't stand a chance at 20, 50, or 100 feet. This is where prices and quality start to make a difference. Yes, they are extremely expensive. It is most-likely due to the amount of research and design that goes into making these devices.
