Video Camera housing frustrations $$$

[JoelW]

Over the weekend I received the Equinox housing for the Canon Digital camcorder I bought. They make a nice housing. I can see where electronic controls would be nice, but I can be happy with mechanical. The nice thing is if I want another control, and it's accessible, I can have it for $75. An example is manual focus. The button is on the back of the camera. I talked to Equinox and they have already done a housing for the same Canon with manual focus and exposure adjustment. Those are about the only other controls I would want. As it is, I have power, zoom, record, tape/memory card and photo.

The other nice thing about them is that they are in Michigan. When I was talking about the conditions that I will use the camera in, they understood.
