I'm looking at getting this housing for our Coolpix 2000:
http://www.ikelite.com/web_pages/cp2000.html
Ikelite's website claims that "All camera functions are accessible." but from the pics I've found I can't see how the function/mode wheel on the top of the camera (where you select portrait mode, "snow" mode, night mode, etc) is accessible. I don't see how the on/off switch is accessible either.
The function mode I could live without. It could be set to regular picture mode since you switch to and from macro mode via a button that is accessible on the back of the camera. "Snow" mode would be nice, though if I'm shooting at something where the background is sand...
As for the on/off switch... This camera burns through batteries so quick that I'd really like to be able to switch the camera off if I'm not using it. This is the reason I haven't click the very inviting "Buy Now" button yet
Anyone with an Ikelite case care to share whether "All camera functions are accessible." actually means that they're all accessible? I emailed Ikelite, but got a "sorry this product has been discontinued" reply. It's been discontinued for all of a month, and is still available at resellers... Kinda disappointed at the customer service actually, but they're the only ones making a housing for my camera (besides the zip-lock bag kind).
Thanks in advance for your help!
