best underwater camera housing dslr image
Digi Dali
Camera underwater bag, underwater case or underwater camera (clearly the underwater camera is not as good as conventional camera as for functionality or available lenses)?
I want to fully utilize my Canon EF L series lenses for underwater shoot.
Answer
What quality do you want?
Cheap underwater cameras will probably have poorer image quality - light falls off rapidly underwater & cheap cameras crank the ISO up leading to a lot of noise.
What camera have you got at the moment? Is there a rigid case for it? A Ewa Marine flexible pouch will be ok at those sort of depths, and will be cheaper than a rigid case. A rigid case will give you more options if you haven't enough light & want to add a separate strobe.
It all depends on budget & how often you're going to use it to justify the money spent.
If you buy a rigid or flexible housing, do try it our first WITHOUT the camera - check for leaks around the seals. Make sure that the seals are sand/grit/hair free or you'll get leaks. O rings in rigid housings need a touch of silicone grease too.
Edit: If you are planning to do a lot of this & want to use your Canon lenses then you will need a DSLR housing - but they're not cheap and they may not even be one made for your camera body.
I had a housing for my D300 & it cost £2000 - that's housing ONLY. Ports (which are lens dependent) are extra & cost around £250-£500, and strobes will cost around £1000.

if your dslr is still on a camera housing because you just got out of the water can you still shoot photos?
Bell
like for example, you just used it underwater and you just got out of the water, can you still shoot clear photos even if it is inside an underwater camera housing?
Answer
Sure. Just wipe off the the lens port
