Hi Guys!
Don't tell the Oly guys I am here...I just killed my Oly 5050 and with them not being available anymore it is likely that DEPP will let me replace it with a similar camera. On the Oly side it is the c7070. But recently, I saw the Coolpix 7900 with Ikelite Housing available for about 650:

It has an underwater setting (for whatever that is worth) like the c7070 and it may force a higher f stop on telephoto than the 7070 (but I am not sure). The other thing that looks good is the Ikelite housing seems to have fewer knobs and buttons which makes me think the camera operation might be a bit easier than the Oly?
Any thoughts? (Thanks!)
