Is there anything that the Ikelite casing for the RX-100 can't do that the others can

Sorry if this has been discussed in other threads but I'm in a bit of a hurry to get the RX-100 and the Ikelite casing before my dive trip next month.

As far the camera's functions are concerned, is there anything that the Ikelite does not allow the user to access when in the housing? I've read a lot of reviews but thought a bit of input from actual users will be of great use.

I am just reading your profile. The RX100 is a super camera but it is actually a quite complex one and not a real point and shoot
With little underwater photo experience I would not recommend starting with this one there are other cameras that are more adequate for a beginner
There are reviews here of the ikelite housing is big and bulky the ergonomics are atrocious but it does work

My experience with Ikelite housings are exactly as stated above, but I never flooded one and it always worked OK. For my Rx100 I went with the Nauticam. Check out this thread on WetPixel :: Sony RX100 housing: Nauticam vs Ikelite, pair with Inon UFL-165AD - Consumer Digicams/Housings - Wetpixel :: Underwater Photography Forums

I can't afford the Nauticam casing for now. Might save up to get a casing for the EOS one day. I don't believe that beginners can't appreciate higher end equipment and besides, it's much cheaper to get a good setup now than to get a lower end one, upgrade later and lose some on the first setup.

I've seen this one but I'm a bit apprehensive since the manufacturers might not offer a warranty or honour their warranty.
