I still have 3 of the SP-350's, an awesome camera............just that shooting raw takes forever to process..no big deal as I just shoot jpg anyways.
My SP350 uses a Proven Ikelite housing, TTL with a hot shoe, DS-125 ikelite strobe.
see my sig for all the INON wet mount lenses.
it's still a great camera! revel in it!

I've got one as my fall back/fail safe, and it's great at what it does. One of its shortcomings is too great a distance for macro, so I adopted an old MotorMarine MX10 close-up lens (just squeezed it into a 46mm to 52mm step-up ring) for macro work, and it works great. Have fun!

He was key on a very active exchange on the SP-350 when it was first produced, 5 or 6 years ago.

mine, I traded-in for Euro 200 with E-M1 2 months ago in Amsterdam.

What case do you use?
Thanks.
Sorry for the delay in reply....
Here is the same machine...
Olympus PT 030 Under Water Camera Housing for SP310 SP320 SP350 | eBay
The camera comes with the machine, I cannot see a brand / make on the housing ?
The only NEGATIVE on this camera after some use is at depth ( 20 odd 30 mts ) it sometimes refuses to shoot, and it Eats batteries, every dive I have to chnge Batteries.
Macro photos though are great and one cannot complain for price / value, I will upgrade though but for a novice, it is a great affordable simple camera to use...

Wisnu...
GREEEEEEEEEEEEAT photos, absolutely stunning, what is the camera like at distance ? ? example, I work in archeaology and sometimes we nbeed photos from a distance, ex: anchor, ballast, etc etc and not all cameras can handle the ``anti green ´´ effect, where I work the water is not so clear...

By the way..
I have completed OW / AOW and am now following Rescue diver... personally I think more people should follow `` rescue ´´ it really opens your eyes to self assistance, hidden dangers, silly mistakes etc, etc which can all make the differance from `` going diving´´ and ``returning ´´, ( touch wood and God bless all )

Corlett,
you need WA wet lens to reduce the distance. The proper WA wet lens for UW is not cheap. I don't recommend but I did try with cheap WA (not for WA), might be lucky but it worked up to 20m http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/un...-wet-wide-angle-lens-underwater-yes-work.html
you can use magic filter for green water to restore color; take with manual WB
re. battery, you can use CR-V3 or rechargeable CR-V3 for longer battery use; and in case you use external strobe, shoot in full manual with the internal flash set to minimum power.
