My advice would be to purchase a C-7070 with IKELITE housing. I have used the C-3040, C-4040 and now the C-7070, all with Ikelite housings. It is a no-brainer for me to spend the extra few hundred dollars and not have to worry about the frequent problems/floodings with the Olympus housings...

Boogey, Just to clarify.....VR3 repaired my corroded fischer connector; after they returned it to me "repaired" it would not functioning properly as stated in previous post. I opened the fischer connector itself(male side), not the bulkhead female that mounts to the computer itself(which would...

Thank you Padi and Boogey for your responses. Boogey, you are more than welcome to use my post in discussion with DeltaP. I personally will not deal with them anymore nor use any of their products(hopefully the "self" fix on my will hold up for a while :)), which is unfortunate because for...

I have been using Ikelite housings exclusively with my Olympus cameras and am currently using with my C-7070. It is slightly negatively bouyant(Ikelite website may have exact specs) and although I usually hold onto it when I am diving, it is "attached" to me if I have to let go for a bit. You...

I heard that the C-8080 has noise issues in low light conditions. I personally chose the C-7070 for physical size and not wanting to "discover" the low light problems that have been discussed. I have been absolutely delighted with my C-7070 and functionality, especially with true TTL...

I purchased the last one at a military exchange on Oahu in October. I took the shot using manual focus, f5.0, 1/100 shutter, TTL, manual mode. After working with JPEG format for 5 years, RAW editing is a dream! The camera also has a slot for CF and xD, so I have a total of 3GB memory.....no...

Attached link to picture taken yesterday in Supermacro mode with my new C-7070 and DS-125 strobe. I'm very pleased with the results so far.

While it is true that the C-7070 INTERNAL flash will not fire in Supermacro mode, my external DS-125 works just fine shooting Supermacro. Were you planning on using your cameras internal flash underwater?

I have used the Olympus C-3040,4040 and just upgraded to the C-7070(heard of some noise issues with the C-8080 & didn't particularly like the huge size). I have used Ikelite housings exclusively and have been quite satisfied. Will post pics from the upcoming weekend with RAW and true TTL with...

My VR3 just returned from repair in England and ppO2 readings are way off, migrating between .6 and 1.8 with sensor exposed to air at sea level. I did the usual cleaning of external connections and all appears to be ok wrt "cleanliness of connection". I then checked the internal wiring...

I have used Ikelite housings exclusively for my Olympus C-3040,4040 and just ordered one for my C-7070. They are incredibly durable and have never had any issues with them. About the only maint. I have had to do is replace metal ring connectors(forget what they are called) which hold the...

Thank you all very much for the informative OPINIONS. There is no question, this is a touchy subject, especially when dealing with the PERSONAL opinions of well respected dive professional. I value the personal experiences you all have shared with me as they have certainly influenced my...

Original post completely removed edited due to post of personal opinion that does not belong in this type of public forum. Sorry for the problems, this was meant to be constructive discussion, I chose poorly. PM me if you have any personal opinions on the PRISM.

Thomas, I just got back from my 3 month deployment.....have a 3 week old baby girl now & it is awesome! Are you planning any other Mikomoto trips besides the last weekend in August? I would be interested any weekend after that. Will give you a call soon! Brian

Matt, I when I get back from deployment, hopefully in August, I would be very interested in any trips to Mikomoto. I should be here for at least a month before I head back to the states. Best regards, Brian Bronk

Matthew, Got a fill from Thomas and dove Atami a few weeks ago. Thanks for the follow-up!

Mr. Conclusion - I am quite satisfied with the Azimuth in terms of overall construction but would strongly recommend spending the extra money and going the CCR/ECCR(KISS) route, or even better going with PRISM, etc. I have since converted my Azimuth to a manually controlled CCR(still use a...

Anyone know of any English speaking dive shops in Tokyo, Japan that will accomodate fills up to 100%? I've had a few leads but keep running into road blocks. Thanks

I must reiterate my concern with Azimuth support. I was sent a faulty tank valve(visible defect inside valve) that did not seal with o-ring on 1st stage. As a result, I had 2 complete free-flow events underwater. Mauricio was nice enough to replace the defective product "free of charge". He...
