Worlds first Digital UW camera with interchangeable lenses.

This looks pretty cool!

"World's first digital camera with interchangeable lenses and 2 dedicated lenses that can all be used underwater."

It does look cool, but it is only good to 15m. When I first saw it, I thought it was going to be a digital successor to the Nikonos.

It looks good, but can you change the lenses underwater? :)

Actually, being good to a mere 15 meters is all you need in Florida, for the most part. Few will be diving much deeper than 50 feet anyway. I don't dive, but, being from here, have friends who do. Most divers stay shy of 50-60 feet, because the danger levels shoots way way up from there.

A professional diver can get much deeper, and can also get himself a ikelite cage or whatever the rage is. The rest of us can content ourselves with this little wonder, and hope for better things to come!

I have a Nikonos V and VI and forget the cost of the cameras and look at the cost of the lighting systems, makes the cameras look cheap I also have an Aquatech Housing for my 5DMKIII and 8-15 f/4 L the housing cost over $2000 And the video lighting $5000, puts the amateur V Pro into perspective and as regards 15 Meters, you would lose a lot of colour without expensive lighting.

This may help you understand the expense of depth and colour. http://www.lyyn.com/showroom/applications/underwater/
