Hello Gregor,
In the next three weeks several new mirrorless cameras will be announced in advance of the coming Photokina show. Olympus will have replacement cameras in the PEN line and Sony will also have new cameras and lenses. I would guess that a new PEN housing may also be release with the new PEN cameras.
The best in class as an overall system at this time has got to be the Olympus E-M5 with the Nauticam NA-EM5 housing, New lower housing price of $1350.00 v. past mirrorless housings from Nauticam and still the best selection of lenses for underwater use.
This gives you two price points, the Olympus PEN cameras with Olympus housing or the E-M5 with Nauticam housing. If your main goal is video a new Panasonic GH-3 should coming as well which will use all the M43 lenses and likely get a housing from someone.
