D-520Z in Olympus PT-009 housing

Hi folks, wondering if anyone can help.....

I've got an Olympus D-510Z and the PT-009 housing, but the camera is on its last legs - the viewfinder is totally out of focus and it seems the autofocus using the screen is playing up as well. So I was thinking of getting the updated model, the D-520Z, but it looks like the size is different from the D-510Z, so I was wondering if it will still fit in the PT-009 housing? Has anyone tried it?

Olympus want something like $180 to repair the camera, whereas I could probably pick up a new one for less than that, but I'd rather go for the updated version if it'll still fit in my housing.

Any help greatfully received!

Hi,

Yes, the Olympus Camedia PT-009 will work with the Olympus D520Z.

Really? It looks like the buttons are in different positions, because the screen is smaller. Do all the buttons on the outside of the housing match up with the ones inside?

I suppose I could take my housing to a store and try fitting it...

Yes, it will work with the D520Z. Trust me

Cool, thanks.

I've also noticed that the 3MP D-550 has the same dimensions/screen as the D-510, so I might actually use the opportunity to go up in resolution at the same time....
