Panasonic camera and housing

[ScubaSis]

Hi there,
does anyone out there know if I can use my Panasonic Housing (DMW-MCFFX01) for any other panasonic cameras other than the lumix fx 01? The bloody camera broke and I try to find a replacement. Can't afford another housing,so want to make sure I can use it with the new camera.
Thanks for any help/advice!

It only works with the FX-1 and FX-3. The good news is if you punch in DMC-FX3 on Google, you'll find about 100 places that will sell you a 6mp FX-3 for about $150-$170

Thanks heaps!
I didn't know the fx3 fits. Think I try to find th fx1 first. Has this nice wide angle...

Don't know much about Panasonics. Nextag lists FX-01 for about $170. I guess they've replaced your housing with the DMW-MCFXO7, which now fits everything from your FX-01 to the FX-12. Usually, older cases don't reverse interchange to the newer models. If you can find a Lumix on a store shelf, it wouldn't hurt to bring along your housing and check, though.
