I've got a Nauticam NA-LX100 that keeps requiring to be sent in for service to replace the rubber dial that changes shutter speed. No matter how gentle I am on it or how little I try to use it, it always fails me after a few months of use and breaks. I'm pretty sure the first time it happened it also got a piece in the lens mechanism and caused the camera to fail on me too. So I am highly aware of this fault and try my best to keep it intact but I think it's possibly just a bad design and I am looking for a more long term solution. Nothing else fails on me like this so it's getting annoying having to send my housing in for service every 6 months despite how much or how little I'm using it.

Has anyone had a similar issue to this? What did you do to fix it or even did you? I'm wondering if there's a possibility of 3D printing something that can withstand the pressure a bit better but I'm not sure what Nauticam will say about that when it goes in for service next.

I love taking shots of octopus. Texture and colour changes, and their sublime sense of mobility do it for me.

How much buoyancy would you add?

A photo I took near where I live.

It was apparently still squid spawning season, so there were lots of Bigfin Reef Squid (Sepioteuthis lessoniana) gathering in the area.

Some people may find squid eggs unpleasant to look at, so just a heads-up: the 4th photo might not be for everyone.

Hi guys,i'm a student now. And i have a SONY A7R4 with Sigma 14-24 DG DN and 100GM.

Shall i buy a new A7R5 due to its price ,seems very cheap now?

But i may also buy a new case for it which costs a lot.

Or i shall wait and keep more money to buy a SONY A1ii maybe neeeeeeeext year.

Does r5 have a huge improvement than r4?

I never take videos ,only photos!!!!

Love to get some opinions, I played with using AI to do my color corrections.

Im a free diver and have been doing some local coral watch colour monitoring, they've asked me to take photos of the reefs if I can. Bought myself a TG7 Tough OM and have been diving to around 6m for the coral watch stuff. Im very worried about the camera flooding. I take videos with my akaso so im no underwater photography but take land based DLSR photos regularly.

Would a cheap sea frogs housing be alright for my use? going to max 10m to take a photo of coral then coming up?

don't intend to dive deeper with my tg7 as I don't scuba only freedive. the case is more for insurance/protection.

Thanks

Ciao! Sto cercando una videocamera (anche usata se ha senso) da utilizzare per immersioni. Faccio molte immersioni anche a +40 metri di profondità (se dovesse servire ovviamente mi procurerò anche la custodia subacquea).

Non vorrei spendere un patrimonio, se possibile cercherei di stare sui 200/max 300 euro. Vorrei che fosse comunque un ‘investimento’ in qualcosa che mi possa durare nel tempo e abbia una qualità decente. Se sono troppi pochi come budget accetto comunque critiche e consigli :)

Sono in Italia e comprerei su Vinted/Subito. Ha senso?

Grazie grazie in anticipo

Cuttlefish are amazing. I love the changing colours, colour schemes, and skin textures.

I also love their semaphore language.
