The ThinkTank Photo Hydrophobia 70-200 water resistant cover has been in development for over two years. It comes with two versions: one for shooting with flash (with a special pocket for the flash unit) and the other is the “normal” version which will be covered in this post. The fabric used on the Hydrophobia is ten times as water resistant as normal fabric. Instead of a “spray” coating, a “film” is applied to the underside of the fabric as well as tricot mesh to protect it, making it a far more impenetrable three-layer fabric. In addition a waterproof tape is applied to all seams, providing an even more water resistant barrier.
Here is our exclusive Think Tank Photo Hydrophobia 70-200 water resistant cover specs and features:
The zipper opens at the bottom for easier camera insertion (Nikon D300s and 70-200 VRII fit in nicely):
The zipper is waterproof:
Internal strap fastens the lens to the cover and to the external strap that eliminates the need for removal of camera strap attached to DSLR:
The external camera strap is combined with a internal strap (pictured above) that buckles under the lens and allows the camera to be carried by the rain cover:

All details are available now on Samsung’s website, no official announcement yet (scroll down for full specs):

Photography news, before they happen: Think Tank Photo will release a new product at the end of January, 2010 – the seam-sealed, water-resistant “Hydrophobia 70-200” cover for DSLR with up to a 70-200 f/2.8 lens attached. Here are two quick shots of the product (I will have more details tomorrow):

Ricoh announced a “Stussy” limited edition version of its GR Digital III camera model created with US fashion brand manufacturer Stussy (hit that link for more pictures):
GR DIGITAL III x Stussy
Not a fan of limited edition cameras (nobody can do limited edition cameras better than Leica), but in this case I do like the GR DIGITAL III x Stussy because it’s matches the design colors of PhotoRumors.com 🙂
The Ricoh GR Digital III x Stussy will be available in February, 2010. Price is unknown at that point.
B&H Photo listed the Sigma SD15 DSLR as “New item – No arrival date known”.
This camera has been delayed multiple times (officially announced at Photokina 2008). I guess Leica is not the only one that has product release delays.
