Our new DX-D80 compact housing is aimed squarely at professionals, but is easy enough to use for photographers at any level. It’s packed with sophisticated features that include a leak sensor, a shutter lever that detects halfway presses, and an ergonomic grip for a comfortable hold. It accepts an interchangeable pickup viewfinder (optional) for vision correction, and its carefully designed controls make it easy for anyone to use the camera intuitively underwater.
The DX-D80 comes standard with two N-type connectors (one 2-pin and one 5-pin connector). The 2-pin connector is compatible with SEA&SEA YS-series strobes. The 5-pin connector accepts the optional TTL converter II for Nikon that enables automatic TTL strobe photography. This housing works with NX ports designed for the NX-series housing to provide maximum flexibility for the lenses you choose to shoot.
