The Fantasea FL-19/20, housing is for the Nikon CoolPix L19 and L20 digital camera. You can use this housing to take underwater photos at depths of up to 200' (60m). The housing is also great for taking worry-free pictures in the rain, at the beach, or on the ski slopes.
The housing features double O-ring seals on all control buttons, which are now made from coated brass. There is a radial O-ring main seal, a diffuser built into the housing, anti-glare hood over the LCD screen and four stainless-steel buckles.
You can use your camera's internal flash for lighting purposes. Or, use the internal flash to trigger a slaved external strobe like those made by Fantasea, Sea & Sea and Sealife. Wide-angle conversion lenses with a 46mm thread will fit the housing. By getting closer to your subjects there will be less water between you and your subject. This will produce better photos with more contrast and improved color saturation.

Comments about Fantasea Line FL-19/20 Underwater Housing for Nikon CoolPix L19 & L20:
Need to follow printed directions. I did not read all of the fine print and flooded out camera on maiden trial. After replacing camera, pictures came out good but recommend using a filter when shallow diving and powerful strobe if in dark area. As another person said, buttons do not line up perfectly but is usable.
Comments about Fantasea Line FL-19/20 Underwater Housing for Nikon CoolPix L19 & L20:
Definitely did what it was supposed to do, kept my camera dry and let me take pictures. It's very solidly built and no more bulky than any other I have seen. I made 21 dives with it reaching a max depth of 108' with no issues. I only have a few minor complaints. Removing the camera from the housing can be tricky, there's nothing to really grab ahold of to pull it out. Also the buttons don't exactly line up with the camera buttons, close enough to work but far from dead on for my Coolpix L20.

The housing is easy to set up and allows full function of the appropriate nikon camera. It is easy to use and worked flawlessly. The flood insurance is also a strong selling point as you don't have to worry about replacing the camera if the housing leaks.
