I just bought the A70 and the housing. I have not yet gotten to dive with it, but other folks on this board have it with the housing and like it.
I got my housing at www.walmart.com and it was delivered quick and it was cheaper than i could find elsewhere.

I have it and and it works great. It lets you access all the camera functions underwater. The flash works well with close up shots. I've taken my set up on two dive trips and I've loved it. Next to learning how to dive, it's probably one of my investments to date. Nothing like showing your pics to your friends and make them green with envy.
I also got my housing at wal-mart online. It was cheap and it shipped fast.

Glad to see that it all worked out.
I'll be posting my A70 pictures of my dives in the Bahamas, GC and Cozumel shortly. Watch the gallery.

Scuba65, I just use the internal flash for now. Its powerful enough for close up shots. Using it for distance greater than about 3 feet doesn't really do any good, I tend to get a lot of backscatter with distance shots. Once I get the hang of using full manual, will get the strobe for it. Have fun with yours.

FLL diver, can't wait to see your shots. Your early shots was what convinced me to get the a70 and the housing for the first place. It was great value for the money spent. Thnx.
