Any reports on how people have made out with their S95's? How about the housings.. function access and leaks?
There are a few threads on the S95, as well as a few on the Fisheye (FIX) S95 housing, which is quite different from the FIX S90 housing. On the other hand, Recsea makes a S95 housing which is essentially identical to the FIX/Recsea S90 housing, down to the connectology.
Paul & Becs posted their S95 gallery (using a Canon WP-38 housing):
[I can't post the URL directly, but google Flicker and "paulandbecs".]
I got my S95, but am patiently waiting for the FIX S95 housing to be reviewed in greater detail -- Nemrod had previously postulated that the new 52mm female connector on the FIX S95 housing will lead to worsened performance with wet lenses. However, someone (REEL?) actually said the new 52mm female connector allows wet lenses to be mounted even closer than with the FIX S90.
I've seen all the work Nemrod put into testing various wet lenses with his S90 in FIX S90 housing, so I know he knows what he is talking about. On the other hand, since I have a S95, I won't be sad if the FIX S95 actually outperforms the FIX S90.
Anyway, the story is unfolding as we speak.
