DEMA 2011:Final thoughts and conclusions.

I will Second Stephen's opinion on this, bravo for a job well done guy's. I know how difficult it is to get all this info in, sort it out and post it up, this coverage is stellar! It was nice to see all the familiar friendly faces again, I really like the Image ressource center concept that got implemented a few years back, before we where all spread out across the floor show, now its our own little village. Heck we even had a free beer stand in the center of it every afternoon. how cool is that!

Posted by StephenFrink on 2011-11-05 23:59:19 A few have asked if the delrin Hugyfot depth rating of 10m is a typo. Nope - these housings are designed for shallow water work - for photographers that shoot only in the pool/underwater studio or for topside photographers who want a system for pole-cam work. Being made of delrin makes considerable savings in weight and price. Alex

Posted by Steve Williams on 2011-11-03 15:22:44 Just to confirm, did you mean to state that the Sea&Sea;YS-D1 has the same power as the YS-250?
Posted by sfsalsero on 2011-11-03 10:29:55 Thanks for the tour inside DEMA. Xcel is unveiling a wetsuit that makes you invisible to fish's "sensors" It would be great if you can get a photo of their booth and new wetsuit!
