Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. While it looks like a much better set up, you will still need to connect the fiber optic cable to the front of the housing. When they sent it back the second time, they sent me a new SL961.
I sent it back to the manufacturer on two occasions. I went on 3 dive trips in the time I had it and it worked about 20% of the time. I was constantly having issues with the SL strobe. I was just getting started and didn't know if I would get into it, so I didn't want to invest a lot. I had the predecessor to the SL961, the SL960D, for my Canon A80. I suspect if you started with much less than the Inon 2000 or YS110 you would quickly upgrade and have wasted the money on the other strobe. Unless you want to stay within 20 feet deep and know you'll have good sun, a strobe to the light the subject is critical to photo quality. Sometimes it takes a couple shots to get the light right, but at least in manual mode you know for sure you are adding or subtracting light. Then it's simply a matter of taking a picture, reviewing it in the viewfinder and adjusting up or down. After a few dives it's easy to know based on available light where the initial setting should be. I know it's counter intuitive but to me it's much easier to use in manual mode than auto. At first I tried to use it with it's different Auto settings, then during a photo class in Key Largo the instructor (Larry Gates) got me comfortable using it in manual mode. I use the Inon 2000 with a Canon A620 (thinking of upgrading myself to the G9).
