Pentax are really running with the colourful camera idea (hope it doesn't start getting a bit old!)
What about the Pentax Optio NB1000 :
It even comes with building blocks

I don't think it is too sharp...I like how you almost got a 3D-effect...at least in my opinion...

I actually doubt the EWA can be use for real scuba diving, the problem is that the water pressure when you go relatively deep will press all the buttons or don't you think so?

I never looked into the magic lantern book...I read Yvon Bourque's K20D book. It is more of an extended manual..but nicely written and reveals some nice tricks..and for 10$ as download it is not that bad

Housings for the K-x are available and with that combo low light/high iso would be a breeze. Cos some things down there can't be lit by flash.
Secondly, I haven't seen any housings for the K-x excpet for that one link
And since my Japanese does not exist, I can't say anything about price etc.

The difference between the Ewa marine flexible housing and the diveross solid housing is quite significant. Do you really can go down to 80m with the Ewa marine?? Not that I want, I am a BSAC diver and am very happy around 20 - 30m.
I mean with O-rings it is the same as with every camera and scuba diving gear..maintenance is key

Is anyone of you into Underwater Photography. I am thinking of combining my two favorite hobbies, scuba diving and photography. However, I know that this increases the costs for a while. Therefore, I would like to ask for some advice.
I own a K20D the 18 - 55mm WR zoom, the 16 -45mm f/4 zoom and a FA 50mm prime. What kind of housing would you suggest or do you use? Which would be the best lens for UW? I am thinking of using the prime, because I don't think a zoom as applicable in a housing. Am I wrong?
Thanks for your help.
Dan

Thanks for the link...but that is not exactly what I am searching for. I am aware of those bags...they are able to facilitate a camera up/down to 5 metres. I am speaking about proper scuba diving, that I can take the camera to 20 - 30 metres.
