Olympus schill
After all the people that have gone out and bought Olympus cameras after I posted my pictures, I think I should get a kickback! 
Ok guys, I'm waiting for you to write your letters to Olympus telling them to give me free stuff for helping them sell their crappy cameras. You all know it's my superior photography skills that makes all the difference.  You're all doomed!!!!

Of course you know I was just kidding about the "crappy camera" part. It is a great camera. The part about my skill and you writing to Olympus for me is true.

Hey Greg,
Your photos were a big factor in my buying a new Oly C-3000Z like yours, but they have been discontinued by Olympus!  The only ones available are used; refurbished; and only rarely are "new" ones found in surplus stock.
I was looking at the newer C-3020's but after lots of research, found that the C-3000 is better for my needs than the newer model!
So, I'm sorry, but since I'm buying used from a semi-pro photographer, no kickbacks!!!
I should have mine in a week or so. If it doesn't take as good pictures as yours, instead of a kickback, I'll be asking you for a rebate!!!

Well, Jorge just bought a Oly 40-40. But he just told them that he had told you to get the Oly in the first place and they gave him a HUGE discount.

Got a funny feeling Jerel might say Ziplock bag,,
external flash?
special filter?

jz,
Olypmus makes a housing that is 1/4 the size and price of the Ikelite. Much better deal IMO.
No strobe or filtration used in any of my photos thus far.

Thanks Jerel, it'll be nice to have a camera /housing that's not near the size of a whale shark. (i DID look pretty cool hauling that monster in and outa the boat with it's two remote strobes!)
