Time to break out the expense account, ladies and gentlemen. This is the Sea & Sea MDX-PRO 5D Mark II. It’s a fancy waterproof cover for the Canon 5D Mark II. It costs ¥280,000, or just under $3,000. Yeah.
As you might imagine, this type of thing might be useful if you, say, work for National Geographic and are taking photos and/or video for a project about the Caspian Sea.
It’s probably overkill for your trip to the Jersey Shore!
I don’t know, this is one of those “hey look at this!” posts. As you were, folks.
Also, I made a big deal about the price—$3,000—but that could well be the going rate for this type of thing; I don’t travel in that scene, as it were.

There are cheaper underwater housings but that price is really not surprising. When you have to add strobes and arms and all that jazz then it gets even …. cheaper?
