Is this a replacement for the Nikonos V? Name, how much, etc etc etc...

As a certified camera dork...that looks fantastic.....

I convinced the missus to buy me a D100 for my trip.....how am I going to con her into buying me one of those???

Sorry to blow a bubble, but it's an old analog camera, produced from 1992 till 1996, called the Nikonos RS, http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/htmls/models/htmls/nikonosrs.htm

Moose - thanks very much - great first post :)

Looks like I'll have to keep an eye out.

Have you got one?

[Mad-Moose-NL]

Nope, had to give up diving in the first year, due to medical condition.
Got a F801s, F90x, D70 and a d100 though, and a contax g2.

Be prepared to pay big money.....
It is supposed to be one of the best UW camera's ever produced.

I didnt know the Canon binos were waterproof.
A mate uses similar ones in NZ for deer hunting. Swears by 'em.
