FS Nauticam Nikon D7000 Complete dSLR Rig (housing, camera, lenses, strobes, ports, etc)

I am selling a turnkey Nikon D7000 Nauticam system. I have used this setup to take photos that have been on magazine covers, the Seattle Times cover, and numerous other commercial applications.

Does anyone out there live in/near Salem? If so are you willing to help conduct a quick craigslist transaction for me and send me the item afterwards? I'm willing to reimburse your time and effort with a printed photo or two :)

Here's a shot I took about a year ago with a mirror -- they're certainly challenging to work with, but the effect is worth it I think

Re: DSLR versus compact camera?

EVIL cams have come a very long way and are now probably the sweet spot as far as quality vs. size/price. The important question you have to ask is "what does it take to satisfy me?" If you want to take some great underwater photos and desire simplicity and practicality, then the EVIL is t...
