After an appropriate period of worry, debate, and general anxiety, the 20D and 10-22 are on order. The 5050 and housing are on the way to my dive buddy in Florida. After a few days of checkout with the camera, I'll be ordering an Ikelite housing and ports. I'm waiting to see when the 60mm macro EF-S is available. Next trip is the last week of April and first week of May in Bonaire (Sun Rentals). I can't wait to try the 10-22 on the Windjammer wreck. Thanks to the board for the spirited and intelligent discussions on the merits of various systems.
Thanks to all,
Ross
Good stuff! Can't wait to see some photos.
Cheers

I have just recently bought the Canon 20D and have the Ikelite ordered. I can't wait for it to come in, either. Of course, I have to wait two weeks til I get back from Japan...I am trying to get the 8" dome port instead of the one I ordered a few days ago...hopefully they will change it for me...

Got our first batch of Aquatica 20D housings in last week - and they have just run out the door. Must have been the sexy silver colour that made them so popular.
It was my intention to keep one for the store for a demo unit and it's gone too !
Well done Blake , on time . great colour , compact size - a winner.
