Hi,

Which underwater rig is mostly professionally used for underwater photography/videography for DSLRs?

Regards

Hi Isabella,

There is only a handful of professional UW-photographers, i.e. people who make their living from making photos UW, on this planet. Seems not to be a big business and likely it is very competitive since there are many who would be willing to do so...

As far as I know, these professionals use FF cameras (Nikon, Canon, eventually Sony top models) housed in Alu housings (Seacam, Subal, Nauticam etc...) with the appropriate lenses, (dome)ports etc...

I heared one saying that despite he is not convinced that the ultra-high Megapixels really make superior IQ, he prefers in these days to take his D850 over D4, because he believes the higher Megapixel images are more future proof and he hopes to sell them also further away in the future...
