Guys, about the battery life, the battery package info is misleading. If you look in the HC7 manual, the NPFH70 shows 155-170min for continuous recording, 85-90min TYPICAL recording time for HDV...

pakman:ScubaBob, I don't have a problem with that button. There is a guide hole that you have to put the housing button in before it can touch the camera's button. I guess this was done to prevent accidental depression at depth. Try this, install the camera, don't open the LCD, and see if the plunger reaches that button. The spring is pretty stiff so you do need to give it a good push.
That's great to hear about the trim on your setup. Mini Dive had me worried there with talks about a lens float!
pakman:Oh and remind to me to disable the internal flash before I put the camera in the housing! doooh! Couldn't take any stills during the dive!!
