I use an Olympus C-5060 with the PT-20 housing. I had my first flooding incident on my first dive on the Great Barrior Reef at Cod Hole. Needless to say I was more than a bit dissappointed at missing many shots, but to the point - I had an
H2O-D Leek Water Detector
in the housing an it flashed a warning immediately as water began to enter. I was able to get the camera out of the water and the case opened in time to prevent any damage to the camera.
I missed shots at the Cod Hole, but got plenty of others at other sites after cleaning and more carefully closing the housing with clean, lubricated O-rings. Bottom line, because of the immediate warning of flooding that this simple inexpensive device provided, I suffered only temporary inconvenience and had a great dive trip ranging from Osprey Reef to Steve's Bomme. A $20 investment saved me hundreds in potential camera damage and permitted recording a lifetime dive experience - including a 2 minute vidieo clip close up and under water at a shark feed.
