Wow - thanks for sharing such a detailed report. I hadn't realised that there was such a large underwater camera presence at the show - with seemingly all the big camera companies showing their compact housings and specialist UW companies there too.
Having skimmed through I am off to read it!

" I learned in conversation with Associate Manager for Technical Marketing and Training, Joe Guzman, Olympus does not intend to stop with the point-and-shoot market. Rather, they are committed to the pro end of digital imaging and are producing an aluminum housing for their 8 megapixel Evolt E-300. A digital camera from the ground-up, the Evolt series offers lenses especially designed to optimize the coverage of their digital sensor and a patented supersonic wave filter that keeps dust for sticking to the digital sensor. Zuiko lenses are renowned for their optical quality, and in particular the 50mm macro, 7-14mm zoom, and 11-22mm zoom should all be good performers in a housing. Best wishes to Olympus with their new housing, and I'll look forward to giving it a water test one day soon."
Cool! "

I agree with Alex on the most interesting aspect of future Olympus plans regarding their "flagship" camera. Wonder who will produce this housing for them... aluminum you said... will it come from Austria, Canada, Germany, Japan, or Switzerland...,

This is an interesting quote from Stephen's report:

Yes, very, very interesting. Hope pricing won't be an issue - their excellent quality poly housing has always been very affordable. Does that mean the end of their 'wide flat port' faux pas days? I hope so.
