The combination of the Canon EOS 40D and the Hugyfot HFC-40D Housing is an excellent one. The underwater housing fits the camera like a glove and is very compact and waterproof to a depth of 300 feet. Its round curves and matte black colour make this housing look beautiful. Unfortunately it is somewhat difficult to operate the underwater housing for people with small hands. The fisheye port has no obvious distortion and the housing does not suffer from steaming up at all, not even at huge temperature changes. One point of interest is the fact that the camera has to be taken completely out of the underwater housing when its battery needs changing. And the leak detector works too well at times. Live View still needs to be further developed to be of use for underwater photography.
Positives:
++ Very compact size of the underwater housing.
++ The underwater housing is waterproof to a depth of 300 feet.
++ No steam inside the housing at vast temperature change.s
Negatives:
-- The underwater housing is not attuned to small hands.
-- Live View slows down operation.
-- Leak detector is over-sensitive when high humidity rate on land.
-- Changing a battery requires taking the camera completely out of the housing.
