Yeah it's pretty cool
I got it today for my B-day
It was on back order from Canon for about 3 weeks and then Mr UPS came a knocking today

I have taken a few test shots in the tank, I will try to post them soon!
I have to play with some functions like the diffuser and some fine tunning settings so don't expect any award winning shots just yet

dang. i was actually thinking of picking one of those up! we have the same camera too!

on short notice my wife booked us a trip to cancun for the end of the month. so i figured since i want one of those anyway (for when i hopefully return to fiji) i figured i could use one on this trip. but i'm not a big fan of the atlantic reefs... brains and gargs, so i think i'll wait a while before i get one.

whered you get it rich, ebay has them for ~$200US with shipping etc.

let me know how you like it.

O.k. here's a few pics that turned out, a couple with and without the diffuser, oh I'm gonna have some fun with this new toy

Shao, this housing is really well designed, much like a pro series housing and it allows the user all full functions too. I have no complaints yet but then again I'm only going down half a foot. I need some open water to put it to the real test, and it's good for 30m or 100ft. I picked it up through London Drugs on special order and the cost was about the same as the ebay price.

Here's the pics:

Mark, no handheld and it makes tripod placement challenging to say the least

Hey Christy thanks for the words, guess I'll have to bring it along for our visit
