I've been trying for a few years to find a suitable camera for my underwater setup.![]()

I don't think it's just about the size, I think the contours, weight and 'feel' are possibly a greater factor for normal use than simplistic overall dimensions. That said, I accept for JK's needs they ARE what count, doesn't matter how good the camera is, if it won't fit the UW housing it's useless!

The D200 and D300 are the same size but just too big fit in my underwater housing. If the D600 had been 78mm deep instead of 82mm then I would have one but I actually need to try one in the housing first before parting with the cash ! But in reality I think the D600 is too good a camera for that and too many pixels. I really want a D7000 as I know that works and I only have small control adjustments to make for it to work in the housing.

Some how I can't think we all need to go out and get our hands measured. Now all I need a Geisha girl to hold hands with to finish the assignment. I had no idea Gilbert had Geisha girls where he lived.![]()

I really like the weight and size of my D200, a good size for a modern equivalent, once you start to go a lot smaller then I think go the whole way and the Fuji (and my Sony) start to look attractive. I could possibly be tempted by a good D400, but it's unlikely, I think I'll hold off on my next body purchase until the right mirrored camera comes out, feel it won't be long now.

I agree with Robert that for general use it is the contours of the camera rather than its size that make the camera feel right. For me the D3 is perfect, the D800 seems much larger but it is not! The D7000 seems to fit OK as does the D70 but I never used the D70 for long periods. The D700 and D300 as a body alone without a battery pack feels unbalanced. ![]()

I'm hoping the D400 will eventually make an appearance. The size and weight of my D200 are perfect for my hands. I've played with the D7000 but the smaller size meant I was gripping with my fingers rather than wrapping my hand round it. I ended up getting cramp in my hand which is hopeless. ![]()
