panasonic LX3 underwater housing from 10bar

there is a recent review on dpreview.com comparing a bunch of higher end compacts that finds the panasonic lx3 as the overall winner. the camera is probably one of the best compact options at this time for undewater use. the only problem is that there are no cheap housings for it.


there is a 10bar housing, made of aluminum, that looks quite nice (and expensive..)
there is some information about the new housing on the 10bar website, as well as this thread on wetpixel. the price is reported around 600 USD in the wetpixel forums. the camera is around 400 USD.

the canon g10 is so much cheaper, at 400USD for the camera plus 200USD for the canon housing.

Rather hard to compare an aluminum housing to a plastic housing. $600 for an aluminum housing is a really good price considering aluminum housings for the G10 are running right around $1000
