: I bought a PT010 housing for an Olympus C4040 camera from CamerasUnderwater.co.uk at the dive show last week. I did lots of research before deciding on this particular route. The housing was only £200 (normally £220)but the camera is expensive at £543 which is the best price I have found. I dive primarily in the UK which is dark and murky so the very fast lens f1.8 it offers along with 4megapixels resolution clinched it for me. If you want to do some research on the best camera's have a look at the forums in www.dpreview.com where you will see most topics have been discussed at some point. : I won't be going diving for a couple of weeks, but if you are interested, email me back and I will let you know how I got on. : Cheers : Gary : : I'm currently thinking of buying a digital camera and underwater housing. Has anybody out there any experience of these?

: : I'd be looking for a fairly cheap package, does anybody have any recommendations as there are a few ads in the dive magazine for housings for Olympus cameras which start at £249, and I've seen 2 mega pixel cameras for around £200.
: : Any recommendations would be welcome, many thanks.
