Digideep.com now have photos and a very favorable review by J P Trenque, of the Sea and Sea DX-D200 Underwater Housing J. P. Trenque’s conclusion for the Sea and Sea DX-D200 Housing is…

Conclusion
In all, I am extremely happy with my purchase. The Sea & Sea DX-D200 is not the perfect housing yet because of its viewfinder, lack of some controls and occasionally fiddly dial commands. However, it is extremely competitively priced compared to other metal housings and handles beautifully underwater. Oh, and it looks rather good and serious too!

WetPixel have a review of the Sea and Sea DX D200 Housing The author of the review, Craig Ruaux states at the end of the review…

“Overall, this is a very solid, high quality housing. I expect to get many years of good use from this housing, and I am happy with the purchase. There are some things missing from this housing that may or may not represent a problem for individual users, but for photographers like myself with a reasonable investment in Sea & Sea ports, the decision to purchase this housing is basically a no-brainer.”
