The D80 housing I recently bought from Submerge Camera has the same problem as you describe here Hot Shoe Revisions
i.e. the shoe conector is too long to fit properly into my camera's hot shoe. I have been in e-mail contact about this with Brett Foster, who asked me to return the housing to you, which I have now done. However, I think you should amend your website so as to make it quite clear that 1) the problem is not limited to the D50 and D70 and 2) it is the housing's shoe connector and not the camera's hot shoe that is wrongly dimensioned (the shoe connector of my friend's somewhat older D80 housing fits perfectly into my camera's hot shoe). A note about this problem in the manual would also have saved me (and presumably others) a lot of time and trouble. Will you reimburse me for the 80 US dollars it cost me to send the housing to you, by the way?
