Do ikelite camera houses come with a DSLR itself?
I'm researching camera houses for my Nikon D3200 and I don't know if the Ikelite comes with a camera or not (since it's so expensive).
If the housing is sold as a kit with the camera, yes. If not, then only the housing and no camera included (more typical).
For example, this is the housing only
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/...g_for.html
and the photo specifically states the camera is not included… And the description says "Housing for Nikon D3200"… The key word is "for".
This is the housing and the camera in a kit
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/...Nikon.html
and the description specifically says "Housing Kit with Nikon D3200". The key word is "with".
Click on the "In the box" tab to confirm what you get. Different retailers will present this differently. Good underwater housings are not inexpensive…
