Fantasea Announces Underwater Housing for Canon G7X II
The Canon G7X high-end compact camera has been very popular among underwater photographers for the past year, competing directly with the Sony RX100 III and IV. Recently, the much anticipated successor – Canon G7X Mark II has been released, and manufacturers have started the race to support this exciting new camera underwater. The latest release is Fantasea’s FG7X II, which will be available this August and will likely be one of the most popular housings for this camera, providing a perfect balance between quality and affordability.
The Housing
The FG7X II is based on the same excellent design as previous Fantasea housings before it, utilizing the rectangular port we all recognize from the FG16, FG7x and FP7000/7100 before it. However, this time Fantasea have implemented a newly-designed port, which has a 67mm thread integrated into the rectangular port, skipping the need for an adapter and allowing you to mount both Fantasea’s snap-on accessories, as well as any other 67mm threaded wet lens / filter!
