I went diving this weekend in cold water (40 degrees). It was the first time I used dry gloves regularly. I tried taking photos with my Sea & Sea point-and-shoot using dry gloves.

I discovered that dry gloves and button clusters do not mix. It was like trying to play a piano with a tennis racquet.

Which SLR cameras/housings are dry-glove friendly?

How about flashes?
 
Not an SLR but the new Sealife DC1200 should work it has the new piano style keys buttons
 
The Ikelite DS Flashes have bigg(er) knobs/dials/buttons, the Inon D-2000 should be usable with dry gloves as well.
For the Inon are Knob Extenders available: Inon Strobes in cold water - Wetpixel :: Underwater Photography Forums
Other strobes may work as well, but i have no experience with them...

All housed land flashes have the buttons too near, what is usually the same problem with the camera housing. This darn small buttons for using the dials and wheels...
