Nauticam Underwater Housing For The Canon 70D Camera
DISCONTINUED
Part #: Nau-17312
Product Overview:
Nauticam has announced another great housing to be introduced to its line-up very soon. For you Canon shooters out there you should take a look at this housing as a an excellent option for your new Canon 70D camera. Built with the same quality and features that you have seen from all of Nauticam's other housings.
The Nauticam Canon 70D housing:
Nauticam pioneered numerous engineering breakthroughs in previous housings that now come standard on the NA-70D. Like the NA-6D, this new housing borrows a control from it's Nikon brethren - the patent pending Multi Controller Pad that is located within easy reach of the right thumb. The Multi Controller Pad allows full multidirectional use of the 8-way controller, while still allowing for the rear command dial to be brought out to the right side of the housing. This control is especially interesting with the 70D using the video autofocus... with a light touch, the user can change the focus during a video clip, allowing for "focus pull" and other advanced shots. No other housing manufacturer has this, and none come close to achieving this kind of ergonomic access to the 8-way controller.
New Leak Prevention System (requires additional parts):
Nauticam is pleased to announce that the NA-70D is the first housing to ship with Nauticam's new vacuum system with integrated electronic vacuum and leak detection monitoring system. Now the operator can, at a glance, instantly see the vacuum/watertight status of the housing. A simple coded LED lighting system lets the user know that the vacuum is solid, or that the housing is losing vacuum. Leak detection is built into the same circuit, so if there is water intrusion, a audible and visual indication will occur. The NA-70D ships with a 3rd bulkhead port specifically for installing optional vacuum valves, leaving the user two other bulkhead ports for HDMI, sync cables and other accessories. More information about the vacuum monitoring system and availability for other Nauticam housings will be forthcoming.

About The Canon 70D camera:
The 20 megapixel Canon 70D effectively replaced the Canon 7D as Canon's best cropped-sensor dSLR, and competes directly with the Nikon D7100, at a similar price point with many similar specs. For still photography, the D7100 has the auto-focus edge with 51 auto-focus points vs 19 for the Canon 70D, but the Canon 70D boasts superior autofocus during video.
