Any one remember the old Olympus pt-010.
That housing could accomodate a number of cameras C2XXX, C3XXX, C4XXX.
It had to have set some kind of record. And I serviced mine myself and used it through 2 cameras before selling it.
I've also had a Fuji OEM housing. It is the best made OEM housing I've seen and I prefer it over the Ikelites I've encountered.
I've seen the Canons, but never used one.
I have my first non OEM housing coming shortly. I got the Ikelite for the canon S95. I know I don't have access to the real control wheel, but that is not a big deal to me. I plan on being in manual with the apperture changing very little. I'll use the front control ring for the shutter.
There's nothing wrong with buying a higher dollar/quality housing, but it kind of bugs me that people without specific data as to failure rates and such just flippantly dismiss the OEM housings. They have served many people very well and most are serviceable if you have any mechanical apptitude at all.
