Sport Diver's ''Images'' Department

Whether you are an old salt or new to the sport, at some point it comes time for you to decide how you are going to share your love of diving with your friends. In every issue of Sport Diver magazine, our Images department utilizes the talents of the top photo/video/digital professionals like Clay Wiseman and Jack & Sue Drfahl to help you navigate the waters on the equipment that is right for you. The upcoming issue of Sport Diver is no exception. While some choose to work their way up to the higher end products, there are some of you that prefer the best of the best in anything you purchase. In the upcoming June Images department, Clay will help you tackle the realm of u/w video lighting, while Jack & Sue will introduce the next wave in high-end digital u/w photography with a look at digital single lens reflex (SLR) cameras and housings. And to hold you over until the June issue shows up on your doorstep, SportDiver.com will give you a preview of things to come with a peek at two of Amphibico's latest contributions.(note: the Surveyor 707 shown below is not an SLR camera and is considered more of a high-end point-and-shoot digital camera). The Surveyor 707 is AMPHIBICO's first digital still camera housing designed for the SONY® DSC F707 five megapixel digital camera. Designed with the engineering excellence and quality that AMPHIBICO has always been know for, the Serveyor 707 offers a compact design, perfect balance and an expert combination of electronic and mechanical controls that provide divers with ergonomic access to all important camera functions and features.
