Nexus, Seacam, and Subal to support Canon EOS-1D Mark III

Article Summary:

Recent discussion in the Wetpixel forums have suggested that the new 10.1 megapixel and 10fps Canon EOS-1D Mark III digital SLR will soon be supported by underwater housings from Nexus, Seacam, and Subal. Stephen Frink, the US distributor for Seacam, is hopeful that such a housing might be ready for display at the industry diving trade show DEMA in early November.

If the anticipated Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III maintains the same design, users of the housing would be able to easily transition between the two cameras, as is possible with the 1D/1Ds Mark II series.

"hopeful" is the operative word as per expectations for DEMA presentation of new housing. Seacam is definitely hard at work on design and production procedure, but a specific show deadline won't actually dictate production schedule. Still, timing is about right and it might happen by November.
