Using the Amphibicam underwater housing for the Sony F900 HDCAM is the most practical way to capture superior quality high definition 1080 x 1920 images at 24p, 30p, or 60i. This is a high-end system that has been used in theatrically released feature films, TV commercials, and blue chip documentaries such as the BBC/Discovery “Planet Earth” series. Other cameras and housings can make excellent images, but when compared side-by-side with the Amphibicam’s images, the difference is stunning.
