canon 450D / XSi dSLR
the new canon 450D is available in most places for around 900USD with the kit lens (IS 18-55).
No housing for it yet. Just to get an idea i looked through digideep.com, to see how long it took for the underwater housings to be available after the camera hit the market. i only looked at fantasea and ikelite to get an idea.
camera | announced | available | ikelite available | fantasea available |
canon 450D/XSi | 26-jan-2008 | 15-apr-2008 (for US, i guess) | under consideration | |
canon 400D/XTi | 26-aug-2006 | 15-sep-2006 | 10-Oct-2006 1 month | 1-Apr-2007 5.5 months |
nikon D40 | 15-nov-2006 | 1-dec-2006 | 15-mar-2007 3.5 months | 1-may-2007 4.5 months |
nikon D200 | 28-oct-2005 | 1-nov-2005 | 4-apr-2005 (?) 6 months | |
nikon D70 | 12-dec-2003 | 12-mar-2004 | 12-may-2004 2 months | 1-mar-2005, +1 year ! (announced 1-feb-2004??) |
so fantasea is a bit slow with its housings, is it?
too bad, i would choose fantasea over ikelite since the price is better, and also some of their housings are slightly more compact. but if they take 6-12 months to get the housing out, well... that's not good, is it?
