@jonix
uh, is that for real? ******.com. or did the mod edit that. hmmmmm. maybe a pm? thanks bud
@imp
thanks for the info. i've had some bad experiences with sea & sea. but who knows, maybe i may change my mind.
Some boards have banned our board name so we responded in kind where the forum software automatically does that.
We're ok with "SB'ers or WP.
We think it is all silly, but hey, we didn't start it! lol

With the D80 out, you should be able to find a good deal on a D70 housing. Ikelite make a great housing. I have one for my D70. I also use Aquatica as well for my other dSLR, which I love. www.ikelite.com and www.aquatica.ca. You might also want to check out ebay as some housings come up periodically. There was an Ike setup there just this past week.
I use an ikelite for my D70s, i have been shooting with it for the last 2 years or so. I really like it. If you want to, you can check out my album at flickr, member name tonyliuliu
I am also looking to upgrade and wouldn't mind if someone take my housing off my hands. If you want more information, please shoot me an email.
Subal and Sea and Sea are the best housings. Subal is the most expensive.
I have not owned a Ikelite housing in years, but many years ago, the controls were not easy to operate. Trying to adjust f stop and speed quickly in manual mode was very difficult.
I own 2 subal housings and they are wonderful.
With the D300 out, people will be upgrading to it so there will be quite a few d70 housings available soon.

I use the Aquatica housing with my D-70. All of the functions and menus work underwater and the controls are big enough to use with thick gloves. It's also rated to 300 feet, I believe, which is an issue with some of the other manufacturers.
