It was my first DSLR and I'm still using it, for macro, in competitions where I can take two cameras underwater.

This was my first underwater DSLR, I had it with 10.5 wide lens. This is ok in bright waters but in finland where water is dark, the focus system is not enough.

It gave to me nice shoots, I learned how to use a DSLR with it, but the new ones have better performance

Ted Timmons reviewed this product:

This was my second camera for underwater. The first was a P&S. I still use it mainly because of the cost to replace the housing for a new DSLR. It is very reliable, but there is a bit of a lag with the shutter.

I had been using my D70 way back 2004 for my Komodo Trip, and every dive i shot not less then 300 pictures, as if it never runs out of battery power, good color , very very reliable, easy to handle, and easy to buy another camera body if ever damaged!
