Berkley White of Backscatter recently took the Canon 7D in an Aquatica 7D housing out for a test spin in Wakatobi. He did a comprehensive and insightful review of both the photo and video capabilities of the camera and housing. He also did a thorough comparison of the 7D to the Canon 5d Mark II for underwater photographers who might be deciding between the two models. He clearly thought very highly of the camera:
"The Canon 7D is quite possibly the best of both worlds for underwater photographers with an interest in video. This crop sensor camera allows use of the Tokina 10-17mm lens which is arguably the greatest wide angle lens ever made for underwater photography....I made it my primary camera on a recent dive trip to Wakatobi and was very impressed by its performance."
Here is the full review with all the details. Make sure to check out the video Berkley took, it's fantastic.
