B&H Photo is probably the best place to get them.

It is not strictly true that these cameras have no housing. They can and
will leak unless they are treated and maintained just like any underwater
housing. That means keeping them spotless, rinsing them after use, taking
care of the seals, no knocking them about, and all the rest that goes with
underwater photography. Getting even a little bit lazy about it means a
ruined camera. Also, the DC310 is just a Reefmaster with a bunch of
aftermarket accessories. They are probably pretty good cameras if you take
care of them.

First of all, it is a camera in a housing. I have the 1.3 Megapixel
version. It's ok. You definitely need an external strobe with it
though. Also it is not a good land camera, the lens is too slow.

Remember though, while I have the same brand, it is not the same
camera.

Hello,

I have found only this cameras so far to be digital underwater with no
need of housing.

Any of you owns them ? how is it ? how much you paid it ? best place
to buy it from ? lowest prices?

I read some people had problems with booth cameras they flooded they
talk of recalls from the manufacturer you know any of these? any of
you had bad experiences with these cameras?

Thanks in advance for all your advice and comments.

Mario
