Re: DSLR Underwater Rig

Most housings are specific to a camera model, or at most a few very closely related ones, because they have mechanical linkages to the camera buttons, and thus need to match the layout of the camera controls.

EasyDive in Italy makes universal housings that accept a wide variety of camera models by using electronic controls - the housing buttons and knobs operate electronic switches, and the housing controls the camera inside it through a USB cable. Support for newer cameras is added by firmware updates from the manufacturer. This allows them to support just about every camera out these with just a handful of models, differing mostly in overall size.
