After looking at several other housings I went with the Aquatica and I haven't been disappointed. It fits nicely in my hands and I have quick easy access to the controls I need. The only reason to remove my hand from the grip is to zoom in on an image If I want to do that to check focus. I got the aqua viewfinder with it and I love it. The only thing i'm not in love with is the extension ring i'm using locks onto the housing the the dome doesn't lock onto the extension ring. That makes me nervous passing the camera up onto a boat or on the surface. Other than that its a solid housing, easy to use, and the depth rating on the housing is great!

Nice review, i had heard about the 14-24 lens issue, what do you think now after shooting the camera for a while? I already have the camera and lens and love it.
