Jim was right on an earlier post, as i confirmed with an Olympus tech. Seals need replacing every year. I now leave my hatches open during storage which to my thinking allows them to seal better when they close.
3 years Dave may be time to move forward to a new model. Still $100 bucks is pretty sweet for all they did to mine.
Im back in business baby!

Are these spotfin chubs natural ones or ones from breeding/release program growing up?

Mail it in. $100. like new except for your external and proud scarring. They also replaced my scratched monitor panel.

Dave, i would likely buy your camera and accessories. The cables, charger and batterie(s) would all come in handy. Be sure and get the LED feature if you upgrade, it has proved very valuable on my outings.
Great distant shot on the electric Spotfins. The camera shorted out as you were closing in for the spawning crevase shot? Thats bad mojo. Emory?
Nice requieum for a valued tool.

Spotfins were from a wild population in the Emory drainage, several miles away from the nearest bridge crossing. Probably the healthiest of the wild populations, from what I've seen, will be great if the translocated pops take off in the Tellico and Shoal Creek and reach similar densities! They're certainly spectacular fish, hope to try to get back up there soon with the video unit...

We just got one for my wife and it is a great little camera. Water proof for 10 feet, impact restance for up to a meter give or take. So far it has managed to get into water twice and is still working great.
Two weeks is good! I love my Olympus. I found a great accessory for it before the North Carolina trip. It's a Gorillapod tripod. It's a little tripod with flexible legs that goes in the water along with my camera. It was great for steadying the camera in the river.

I did just see two models of camera and one HD vid recorder that come with Ikelite housings that are 300 out of the box each. Will post links later, have to dig them out of email...
