Did gotta dive get one? I'm about to die to at least get the housing now and buy the camera in a couple of months. Not to hijack the thread, but did I read where you have a lot more control over things that can be changed with the 5050/pt015 housing vs. the 5060 and its housing? Thanks in advance. Greg

I'm not sure, but I do know that I actually change very little when underwater with the 5050/015, and everything necessary is easily accessible

I change:
f stop
shutter speed
focus mode (i.e. macro, auto)
switch cards
delete :eyebrow:
(only once in cenotes) ISO

I'm trying to think, but that's all that I can think of that I change underwater.

I'm with Chris. The list of settings he gave you is about all I change, too...and not very often at that.

When I first started thinking about digital, I had the idea that I'd have to change the settings for almost every photo. In truth, I change very little once I get down and take the first few shots to get everything dialed in, using those same settings.
 
There is new posting on e-bay for a virtually unused ikelite housing, strobe and wide angle lens for the Oly C 5050
