Well where do I begin with this one. I was given one of these cameras as a wedding gift, took it to the big island of Hawaii and had the sucker leak on me after about 3 dives with it. After contacting the company which luckily has an office here on Oahu (where I live) they replaced just the camera not the housing. Took it out and dived about 3 or 4 more dives, and that one leaked too. Took it back to the company they replaced the camera and housing this time. I`m on my 3rd camera and 2nd housing from them. Make absolutely sure you clean and relube your o-rings and seats for the o-rings after EVERY dive. Also make sure you soak the camera for at least a couple hours in fresh water after every dive. Failure to maintain this camera properly will cause the housing to leak. The camera takes pretty good pictures, as long as you work within the limitations of the camera. DO NOT use this camera for night/low light photography unless you get the optional flash defuser from the company. The housing throws off a really bad shadow in the bottom left 1/3 of the image. I have had pretty good success once I figured out what the camera can and can not do. All that being said, if you`re willing to shell out the $300-$350 the LDS`s are charging I would suggest going another route. I had an Olympus camera I bought used on Ebay for $179, and a housing I got on Ebay for $29.95 as well directly from Olympus that thing worked great, never had a problem with and it took awesome pics. Also look around ebay I`m quite certain you can find used Sea & Sea (sp?) cameras with UW housings. Those cameras take good pictures for a low end UW camera/housing combo, and are very very durable. Hope all this helps Scott
