This Ikelite ultra compact housing is designed for the Olympus Stylus 1050 SW digital camera. It is an injection molded clear polycarbonate case, known for its strength and corrosion-free properties. The housing offers an unobstructed view of the camera's information and control functions and operates safely to a depth of 200'. Easy open latch along with drop in camera loading makes set-up a breeze. The housing is sized and weighted for near neutral buoyancy and superb handling underwater.
A flash diffuser is included to improve lighting quality when the camera's built-in flash is used underwater. For optimum lighting underwater an optional external strobe is recommended. Ikelite strobes are brighter, recycle faster and offer wider coverage than the camera's flash. Being farther from the camera lens, the strobe reduces the illumination of particles in the water which helps eliminate backscatter.

Comments about Ikelite 6230.50 Housing f/ Olympus Stylus 1050 SW:
[...] The camera fits perfectly and all controls work with ease. It has only been bathtub tested so far as I not yet had a chance to dive with it but it appears to be as water tight as advertised. I will provide a more in depth review after I have an opportunity to dive with it but I'm confident it will perform very well.
