I just purchased the 500D/T1i, and I already have the 350D/XT and the Ikelite housing for it. Unfortunately the housing is currently stored in a locker in the Caribbean, so I can't test it. Does anyone know if the new camera will fit in the XT housing. I know they are not exactly the same size, but very close. It looks to me like the shutter release will work, and I can turn the camera off and on. These are the two critical functions I need. I am just looking to delay the purchase of a new housing for a bit. Ideally I would like to rig the housing so that I can start the movie mode, but that would just be a nice to have.
Any advice/feedback will be appreciated, Thanks
