Andreas, I am sorry to come back so late with the info. you requested, but I was on vacations. Anyway, my comment that you posted tells most of what I can say about the D-CA2. Anyway, for users that might be interested in this cheap UW enclosure, I have made a brief description on how to use it and posted several pictures of the camera inside the enclosure. The information and pics. are on my photo web pages: www.pbase.com/psinclai/em_dca2

Thank you for your interest and congratulations for the site.
Peter
