Great underwater camera, but with limitations !
After reading a highly respected website on underwater photography, I took the plunge (no pun intended) and bought an Oly 5050 in excellent condition. I was able to find a PT-015 housing after a month of searching, and just returned from a Caribbean island, where I took it shooting underwater. The camera produces excellent, high quality images once you master the flash, macro, and other strategies to optimize images.
HOWEVER, that said, it must be noted that their are definite limitations. First, the slow shutter response is far slower than newer models or DSLR's. For anyone who does not have a prescription snorkel mask, the image screen is too small to see easily. Similarly,I was unable to read the menu or see the icons on the controls, in order to make needed adjustments in flash, sync, focus, aperture, and other modes. Sadly, despite shooting nearly 100 frames in just under two hours, only two were worth printing.
A fellow snorkeler/photographer who had a Canon G9, also with built-in flash and underwater housing, was able to see more easily through the larger screen, besides being far more experienced and familiar with shooting in this medium.
In summary, if you have no issues with seeing small images and icons underwater, or are shooting on land, this is a wonderful camera.

The Secret Life of Bees - rare and exceptionally moving
After watching the movie adaptation and having been moved by it, and by an interview with the author in particular, I bought her book. I had never heard of her, not to mention not having read anything she had written. But as touching and powerfully done as the screenplay was, this book surpassed the excellence of the movie. Her capacity for descriptive prose is exceptional. This is a touching, powerfully portrayed story of the struggle of a diverse group of women. . of their strength in the face of injustice and worse; and of the triumph of their spirit, both individually and collectively. A work that belongs on everyone's 'must read' list. !
