Housings for Olympus PEN EP-2

[under water]

As an eager "underwater snapshooter" The EP-2 seems like the 'perfect' U/W system. I can't imagine there not being a flood* of converts to this new option in the next few years.

I know that on your website you say that you are contemplating having one in 2010, but can you please elaborate a bit on the progress with that?

Since I have an investment in Ikelite strobes and have been happy with them in TTL mode, I would like to be able to move up from my current G9 camera/housing setup and stay with Ikelite. In fact, some idea of your schedule would probably influence my near term purchasing decisions.
Thanks!

This newer style of camera requires much more development work than the average new camera model. It will probably be mid-year before we are able to support this type of camera system.

All of our current Substrobes, cords, etc. will be cross-compatible with the housing for the EP-2.

Thanks Jean,
That is helpful.
If you need any beta testers, let me know.
