In Bonaire this week, and the first day with the D7100 and Nauticam housing went great! Still going through photos, and only on a laptop monitor, so color/exposure could be a tad off.

There will definitely be a learning curve with the setup, but I couldn't be happier. The G10 was great, but this is amazing!! I can't believe I waited so long!

Thanks - yeah, they're not perfect, but compared to my G10 I couldn't be happier.

Did a touch better with these two - I got better through the week as I got more used to things - buoyancy needs to be pretty darn good for SHARP photos...

(EDIT - Just realized that copying and displaying through the scubaboard photo viewer was hurting image quality a bit)

The shrimp in the sponge is excellent. Good job with the new camera. Please let us know what lens and other accessories you are using.

Thanks - sorry shoudl have included details -

Nikon D7100
Nikon 105mm Macro (the new one with VR)
Nauticam housing & port
2 x Sea and Sea YS-01 strobes triggered with optical synch cords in TTL mode
Everything shot in Manual mode, varied ISO from 200-320 to experiment a bit with flexibility

No focus light, which is next. There were a few in-sponge shots that I was wishing I had it...

For focus light, check this:

i-Torch Video Pro6 - Best Video and Focus Light

It appears to be unique and has all of the features one can think of in a focus/video light.

Yeah, the difference between a compact and a DSLR is amazing.

As far as the iTorch lights they also have another version of the Pro6 called the FishLite that's come out - it has the same light head & battery (1 & a spare; 2400 lumens, red/white light 3 steps, but no UV/purple light. However the cost is only $499, about $150 or so cheaper.
