A compact D-SLR with an underwater housing supplied by the camera manufacturer!
This and the Nikon Coolpix 8400 are two recent annoucemnets that seems to be very good news for us underwater photographers!

I'd be very surprised if there wont several housings for the NIkon.

7-14mm F4.0 lens! If they make a nice dome, unlike their previous efforts, it can be really nice!
Looks like another one to keep people like Ike busy.

It will be good news if Olympus make a better job of the housing design than they did with the C5060/8080 units :shock:
May be I'm a bit conservative, but I'm really worry about what lens port will be made by the oly...??! With the flat wide ports made to 5060 and 8080, I'm not that confident with oly...
It will be interesting to learn what the Olympus housing will look like, but currently I've got greater hope for a Coolpix 8400 housing. I'm sure there will be several.
I broke my PT-020. Next time I buy a Polycarbonate housing I'll evaulate the design thoroughly.
