Has anyone used this housing? I just ordered one from my not so L - LDS. Anything in particular I should know about it?
Thanks

Hi Billy,
I do not have that housing, but I do have one for the Coolpix 5000. I have not had any problems with the housing itself. The only problem I had was with the cable from the hot shoe to the strobe. It had a wire break after a few dives (maybe 20). They replaced it for free, as they said that they were using a better cable now, than when I bought it. I have used it for probably about another 60 or so dives with no difficulties. The only other issue is that sometimes the buttons get a little sticky, but after they are excercised a bit, it seems to go away. Good luck.
