Canon S70 with Canon PT-040 housing and Inon DC40 28AD mount. Tested watertight to 30'@150ft. No scratches on lens port. Well used, but not abused.
An oldie but goody, and it shoots RAW (without hacking). Includes camera, case, two batteries, cover, wrist lanyard, case neck strap, USB cable, and wall charger. Add a CF card and it's ready to go.
I always thought the ergonomics on this setup were about as good as I've seen. I like the elongated shape better than the boxy ones for single-handed use, and the controls are quick to access and use: one button toggles macro, one button toggles flash; buttons for zoom, not lever. In manual mode, shutter and aperture adjustments are all one-push, button-operated. You can also set manual focus mode and readily see a bargraph for the estimated focal distance. Auto-focus works well down to about 12-15", then it's best to use manual focus.
I would typically get a little better than one dive per battery, well over 100 RAW images, using the flash on minimum setting to trigger a slave strobe. It would never run out during the first dive, and rarely last through the second. I used a card reader for transferring images, but the camera can use the included mini-B USB cable to connect to a PC.
I've got a couple of these (only one has the 28AD mount), if you'd like to have backups.
$120 shipped within the contiguous US, can also ship anywhere.
