What housing are you using?
Have you tried to shoot any video?
I am thinking of an E-PL3 or E-PM1 (should be cheaper)
Thanks

See Olympus E-PL3 and E-PM1 Camera Review|Underwater Photography Guide

Not sure how the prices in the UK will shape up.

Great. I am looking at the Olympus housing as well.

 

[nikitich]

may be you should go for a 14-42II MSC lens? The AF speed will significantly improve and the focusing during video will become silent

 

[Sail Rock Diver]

its ok for me , the epl1 14-42 does better macro, and for the noise you just add some music but i was to lazy at that time.....

@ victor have done a lot of dives with it (PT-EP01) and i have the canon g12 housing (from canon) as well .

the buttons work still like new after 200-300 dives with it and the g12 housing got alredy sticky buttons

so from time to time i have to do a service at the buttons take of all the buttons ultrasound them in liquid , clean the o-rings and fix all together.

maybee i will go for the fix g 12 housin in the future.
