I have the new camera and am very happy so far. I am running a YS90 strobe on it with a fisheye fix light. I have however had big problem with the fiber optic strobe adapter. The kit I bought from my LDS (plastic adapter that fits over the strobe lens and fiber optic cable) is supplied with a cable that is too small. My strobe was firing intermittently and I couldn't figure out why. When I called Sea and Sea (Tusa is the rep) the tech guy told me that I needed a bigger cable. When I went to my LDS they had no idea there was a problem with the kit they sold me. I was able to get the larger cable and I believe it has solved my problem.

I don't think the reps for Sea and Sea know squat about their product line. I had also enquired about the focus brackets that appear in the LCD screen. The focus bracket or brackets seem to change, sometimes I get small, multiple focus brackets, sometimes 2 and sometimes 3 brackets in the screen and I don't understand what they mean... neither did the rep at Tusa.
But with that said I am happy with the ease of the camera, the quality of pictures, easy macro use and especially the compact size. I have about 10 dives with it and am still getting used to it but so far I am happy. I believe I have my strobe issue solved so my next trip should be a lot more productive.
