Also, before you get in the water with your camera it is a good idea to get comfortable with it, and its functions on land. Take some topside photos and play with some of the features. then play with it in the housing. This way, when you are ready to grab that shot of a lifetime you don't have to stop and think what the buttons do, its instinctive. Once you are comofortable shooting ambient light shots I would move on to the strobe, that is definitly a learning experience, especially if you are shooting in manual and not TTL.

Good Luck!

strobe off .Got much better results .

Ditto what Dee said. I went from a simple point and shoot to a 5050 with a PT015 housing. I also have a YS90 strobe--that Im still trying to learn about. This is set up (camera, housing, tray, arms, strobe, fiber optic) can me at about $1000
