Stay single and buy the camera yourself. Its a hell of a lot cheaper! :) David

The camera is item # 955529. You can call them directly to check stock before going to the store. They might be able to check for that item at other local stores too. They've done that when I've been there in person and I imagine they are using the same computer lookup system when you call...

/AUTiger stops basking in the glow of CheddarChicks worship to answer a question/ Rickg - that was the Lake Elsinore Costco. Careful, ce4jesus - I might have to smite you. War Eagle! /AUTiger goes back to being CheddarChick's personal deity/ David

Who needs instructions! Whats the worst that can happen? ...flood housing, destroy ttl electronics, ruin camera, ruin lens... Got insurance? Seriously, though. Read the instructions. What kind of housing do you have (manufacturer)? What type of camera, lenses, and ports...

I wouldn't buy a dSLR and housing now and hope that Nikon will get around to releasing a 60mm AF-S macro lense later. That takes more faith than I have. You could use the Nikon 105, but its harder to use and cost twice as much, besides being good only for really clear water. For wide angle...

With my older 5060, the Oly conversion tube was needed to place threads near the end of the lens, to which the wide angle/ tele could be attached. Because of the way the 350 lens extends out, I expect that it is the same. That probably means that you need the extension tube (or something...

Its a great camera. Good choice. David

A nearby SoCal Costco supposedly has six in stock. I'll probably be going over to pick one up for a board member. Anybody else want in? They're $180 + tax = $195.50. Shipping would be extra. PM me if you want in. First come, first served. David

The dive master had been teasing the eel with an empty bucket of food. Apparently the eel had been used to its afternoon treat. The eel came out immediately and started free swimming. The DM kept putting the empty milk jug in its face. The eel started swimming at the other divers and nipping...

I just bought two SP-350s at Costco a week ago for $180 each. I hear that some random Costcos still have them in stock. David

Close and even closer David

You have to use them with that adaptor that I mentioned, right? Thanks for the info. My friend will be glad to know this. He got a 165 at Christmas which he may not have even used yet. He would be disappointed if it didn't work with his new SP-350. Thanks again David

I have a friend who is buying a SP-350 and the Ike housing. He already owns the UCL165 macro lens and the UWL-100 wide-angle. I know that the wide-angle can be attached to the Ike housing using the Ikelite 9306.81 adaptor. I would guess that the same adaptor would allow the UCL-165 to be...

I saw the same issue two weekends ago. I had accidentally left the camera set to auto iso with no upper limit. It sometimes bounced up to 1600. You can set a maximum ISO that cannot be exceeded. For land photos, you can also set a maximum shutter time, below which the camera will not...

Step 1: Go buy equipment insurance. DAN or DEPP http://www.awryinc.com/. Do this before our put your camera in the pool or the ocean for the first time. Do not wait. Don't tempt the scuba gods into taking your camera as a sacrifice. Step 2: Practice, practice, practice. Get in the pool...

I use DEPP insurance at http://www.awryinc.com/. They replaced my first housing when I dropped it, breaking it. They also cover my LAND photography equipment on the same policy. David

- My friend (yes, really, it was a friend) flooded his housing by catching a corner of a dessicant pack in the seal. I've heard of this a couple of times. -Another friend caught the tail of the string connecting his lens cap in the seal, causing a flood. David

Darn, I missed all the fun today while I was out taking care of Sunday chores. Yep, its all my fault. Now if only I could figure out how I did it so that I could do it again!

They seem to be multiplying like rabbits! David

I think that most people categorize the digital cameras as 1. Point and shoot - a camera that generally has a live preview and a fixed lens. They can be housed and sometimes used with external (wet) mounted lenses. The fixed lense is usually capable of doing wide angle to macro on the same...
