I use the CD200 in an ikelite housing. I like the housing, it has nice balance underwater.

how is the picture quality and what kind of housing are you using adn where did you get it

 

[Birdman]

Ikelite is one of the major housing companies. They make a housing for just about everthing. Just go to their web page and follow links to your camera type. Here is the URL for the CD400 http://www.ikelite.com/web_pages/cd400sony.html

Picture quality is a tough one. Cannot disentagle at this point my bad technique vs. the camera as I haven't been doing it long.

I own a CD-300 and a CD-1000 and have been happy with both, although there are occasional problems with the disks slipping during writing which often destroys them - be sure to back up the disk frequently. I don't take either of them underwater.

I looked at a housing for my 300 some time back and found that the Ikelite housing cost nearly $1000, for less than $1200 you can buy an Oly 5060 + housing, which seems like a better camera and a way better deal.
