Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Olympus PT-019 Underwater Housing for Olympus C-5000 Digital Camera
Customer Review: Great Little Housing
Summary: 4 Stars
GREAT DEAL on a very basic housing. I've had an Olympus C5000 for over 6 years and had considered an U/W housing in the past. But after looking at the cost of a new camera and a new housing, this was a GREAT DEAL. The camera fit is a little snug but after working with it it finally goes.
As with ANY U/W housing you must be VERY careful in your setting up to use. It either works or floods. You cannot just throw it together and go. If thats your idea, either buy cheap disposable cameras or have lots of money to blow, once its flooded you now have a 14 oz. paperweight/camera.
Description of Olympus PT-019 Underwater Housing for Olympus C-5000 Digital Camera
The Olympus PT-019 Underwater Housing for Olympus C-5000 Digital Camera is a stylish and durable housing for anyone looking to pursue underwater digital photography when diving, snorkeling or surfing. The PT-019 is specifically designed for use with your Olympus C-5000 digital camera, and not only allows you to take your camera under the water with you, but is also ideal for use during activities that call for ultimate protection from the elements such as skiing, fishing, sailing, or even in certain industrial situations.The Olympus PT-019 is constructed of a transparent and durable polycarbonate case material that provides an attractive, waterproof shield for your digital camera at depths up to 131 feet, as well as providing a clear view of camera information and control functions. This unit features a tight O-ring main seal with a safety lock, along with stainless steel and nickel-plated brass hardware to help ensure long-lasting protection from corrosion. This Olympus underwater housing gives you full control of all your camera's functions, with a large, responsive shutter button, precision zoom lever, and durable controls to lend you access to everything your C-5000 has to offer. The PT-019 even includes an integrated flash-diffuser panel that lets you utilize your camera's internal flash for when more light is needed. As mentioned, the PT-019 is not only suitable to, and small enough for use in other sporting activities, it lets you change the buoyancy by removing balance weight so the housing will float during rafting or kayaking.
The Olympus PT-019 has mechanical-type controls, and a positive buoyancy without its balance weight. This unit has a fixed, flat port, is clear in color with red highlights, weighs 1.15 pounds, and measures 4.2 x 4.9 x 4.8 inches (W x H x D). This unit comes with a convenient hand strap to make sure it doesn't stray, and is backed by a manufacturer's limited 1-year warranty.
