Thanks for all your responses!

I'm sorry but i'm not very good at explaining things but I'm not wanting to redesign the camera, I suppose I really only thinking about redesigning or adapting an existing underwater housing to be able to take video images from the SLR camera. I was anticipating to do this by basically attaching a small CCTV type video camera to the back of the viewfinder!

Why use film? Well, I was given the idea by a professional wildlife photographer who already had a film camera and said something like that would be useful, although initially i thought using digital would be simpler.

Thanks again.

Hi! I am currently studying product design engineering and researching for my

final year project and would be grateful for any feedback on my design idea.

My idea is an underwater product/housing (to depths of about 5m) to hold and

enable a film (not digital) SLR camera to be connected to a remote monitor

above the water. The intended use is, for example, to allow photographers on

a boat to take see pictures on the monitor of dolphins bow riding to check the

animals are in frame etc before releasing the shutter.

Has anyone heard of this being done before? Is there a need for it? I would be

very interested in any information or thoughts people have on the matter!

Thank you very much!
