The Ikelite Underwater Housing for Nikon Z50 is the most affordable option, but it's also light weight, ergonomic, and very user-friendly.

We took this housing diving in Maui, Hawaii with the Nikon z50 and we liked it as much as the sea turtles liked us! Despite shore diving, the buttons didn't stick, and all controls were easily accessible. The Nikon Z50 is a naturally ergonomic camera which makes the housing easier to use as well.

ABOUT THE CAMERA:

Full Nikon Z50 Review

The Nikon Z50 is Nikon's first attempt at creating an APS-C mirrorless camera - something Sony and Canon have been doing for quite a while. The Nikon Z50 is akin to a mirrorless version of the Nikon D500 or an APS-C version of the Nikon Z6. During the Z50's initial release many dubbed it a dud for it's lack of Z mount lens options and large lens mount on a small body. But this didn't necessarily mean that the Z50 wasn't useful for underwater photgoraphy. In fact, we think the Nikon Z50 is one of the best, if not the best, cropped sensor for underwater photo and video! The Z50's mirrorless capability mixed with Nikon's renowned F mount lens selection (with an FTZ adapter) creates an unstoppable underwater camera system. Off the bat, the Z50 produces unbeatable image/video quality for its price points. It also features mirrorless capability that underwater photographers crave - like EVF's, edge-to-edge focus points, and quick focus using an LCD.
