New Products frm Fisheye

The Japanese manufacturer Fisheye have started designing more original

houses and displayed two new products in Tokyo. One *very* small house

for the Sony Cyber-shot U (worlds smallest? now 2 MBs) and one for the

Olympus C-5050Z.

You can see pictures of the housings at the bottom of this page:

I don't know if you have the Cyber-shot U in the US or Europe. Here it is:

It is only 87 gram and takes 1,632×1,224 pictures as well as mpeg movies

(15 sec). The Fisheye hosuing will be available in several colors and is probably

the only housing that fits in a BCD today?

Thanks for the news!

I have the Minolta Dimage X housing, and I think I can stuff it into my BCD pocket. I've never tried, though...

I agree there is no reason to put it in the bcd no use to have it there.

I just wanted to say it is very very small... Have you seen the camera? Even an

envy of 007. Same size as a match box. And it can do all that. The housing being

slightly larger, like an used toilet paper roll.

A friend of mine has the Sony U10 -- I've heard that it is TINY, but I think I'd have to see it to really get a feeling for its size.

One manufacturer had a Casio EX-S2 housing as well, but I think it was a zip-lock baggie type housing, so it's probably not going to work well for diving. Not that it would take photos of any real quality underwater, anyway...

Size? It has the same size and weight as a 35 mm roll of film - if you

know what that is ;-)
