From Chuck M., Houston, Texas:

I just returned from a week in Palau and used my newly acquired P5100 with the Fantasea FP5000 housing. Still learning the camera, but I managed to capture some decent pics. I think previous complaints about long focus and shutter time are exaggerated. I found response to be much quicker than my Olympus C5050.

I used the internal flash successfully for some shots but noted a shadow from the lens barrel on others. I haven't quite yet figured out whether that was related to zoom position and/or distance to subject. I'm going to play a bit in the pool to check that out. I would have to say that judging from my experience with this setup and looking at pictures of the Ikelite housing, the internal flash is almost certainly completely un-useable with the Ikelite housing.

I also used the Fantasea WA lens and was quite happy with that. I was able to do some fun pictures combining near/far subjects. Overall, I feel I got a lot of bang for the buck with the Fantasea gear and Jack delivered it from OpticalOceanSales in just three days!
