Splash Underwater Imaging and NUDI are announcing their first annual photo contest that will be held this summer covering 3 popular dive destinations in the Philippines: Anilao, Dauin and Cebu.  Prizes await winning entries, see the Snups site for details on how to register, submit entries and contest rules.

Here is a sneak peek into the soon to be release Olympus underwater camera housings for future models E-PL2 (ILC or mirrorless m4/3) and XZ1 (point and shoot).  I hope this time the lens port would be interchangeable, if you remember the previous Olympus released E-PL1 housing had a fixed port which limited the lens options you could bring on a dive. 

Spending the whole day with Ryu gave me a sense of how his mind works.  Took some snaps of his face using a Nikon D90 with Nikkor 105mm micro.

Olympus will release an underwater housing PT-EP01 for its latest Micro Four Thirds camera E-PL1.

Pros:

• Light weight
• Rated to 40 meters
• 2 optical fiber ports for strobes
• relatively inexpensive
• corrosion proof materials
• system doubles as HD video camcorder with autofocus

Cons:

• built in port, limits lens options

You can get yours at:

B&H (camera / wide angle lens); Amazon (Camera / 9-18mm lens); Adorama (housing / macro lens adapter).
