I use dual DS125 on a D300 Nikon and have had great results. Fantastic battery life, and only once have I run short of power on a dive. Excellent recycle and charge times. I really appreciate the 60 and 50 cycle electrical capacity. Modeling light is moderately helpful in aiming and finding the field and as a back-up on night dives. Very reliable equipment.

I upgraded from D70s and there was quite a quantum leap! ISO capacity is fantastic. Found great battery life and easy to use. I use mine with a Subal housing and it fits like a glove. I have access to all camera functions. The D300 series makes underwater photography much more exciting!

The Subal housing is NOT cheap, but is so well designed for easy use of all features on the Nikon D300. It fits like a glove. It is easy to use and makes U/W photography so much easier. I find that I use manual controls (as opposed to Program or other auto programs) for exposure much more often and get better results. This is definitely for the serious photographer because of cost. The body is rather heavy and takes up a lot of room in the luggage, but less than Ikelite housing. Changing lenses is easy, as is removing the camera for battery changes and media exchange. In other housings, I had to remove the camera from the base plate. With the Subal, that was not necessary. I absolutely LOVE this housing. I do wish that the housing would also fit the D700, but it's about 1/4 of an inch too small!
