Nikon’s D60, D40, and D40X are consumer level DSLR cameras intended for amateurs who are transitioning from compact digital cameras. These provide the latest technological advances in photography yet they are user-friendly.
Although the D60, D40, and D40X incorporate many of the latest technologies, they are relatively fragile. It would be foolhardy to use any of these cameras where there is a substantial risk of its getting dropped on snow, covered in dust, or drenched with water. If you have to capture photos in these conditions, it is wise to encase the camera in a Sea & Sea RDX-D60 Housing.
This housing is especially made for the three Nikon models. Once inside, you can use the camera on your skiing trips, desert adventures, or river and ocean escapades, even down to a depth of 200 feet. Mounting is quick and easy with the help of a camera quick shoe included in the housing.
With an interchangeable lens port base, including the RDX Standard Port, RDX Port Base L, and RDX Port Base S among others, your choice of lens is expanded, from wide-angle, zoom, and macro lenses. The housing is equipped with a 0.5 Optical Viewfinder that reduces vignetting. This is useful when composing wide-angle photos.
Capturing images is facilitated with an innovative shutter lever design. You can do this either by pushing it from the top or pulling it from the front. This two-way shutter release comes in handy when a bright colorful fish suddenly darts across your field of view.
Attachments such as a Sea Arm VII Set or a Grip-Stay L can be fastened to the housing through the tripod socket. The Sea Arm allows the connection of two external strobes for underwater lighting. The Grip-Stay L, on the other hand, provides a more stable handle.
