I purchased a new C-5050 (as a backup) from buydig.com for $428 (including shipping) about a month ago. I'd suggest at least a 512mb CompactFlash. I use a 1gb Ridata CF and a 512mb x/D Picture Card so that I can start shooting in RAW instead of SHQ. The Inon D-180, with the "clear photo"...

Dee: I used the focus light at times to look under ledges -- it's a reddish light that seemed to illuminate dark areas fairly well. Thanks for the email response regarding Coco View. When you get back you can tell us all how to use the D-180 with the C-5050. Joe

I really liked my D-180 and Inon WA-100 lens (Ultralight tray and arms) while diving in Roatan for a week with my Oly C-5050 and PT-015. However, I was brand new to UW photography and had no prior experience to evaluate it. Bought the strobe, lens, tray, and arms from Ryan in KC. Joe

I assumed that when traveling I'd take my new camera in a camera bag so that I could take "regular" photos except while diving -- sounds like a lot of you take only underwater shots or none while traveling. Despite the weight, I'm leaning toward getting a Pelican 1520 case to hold my housing...

Does anyone have a suggestion about what mask to purchase for a prescription lens? My wife would sure like to have one and not run the risk of losing her contact lenses. Thanks, Joe
