I have had a Sony DCS-P9 and now have a Sea & Sea DX-1G and (touch wood) have not had a flood yet. I have been on two liveaboards and seen 2 fujis and a Pentax compact flooded (the latter was due to the muppet catching the lanyard in the back door of the housing!).

I think as long as you prepare your housing correctly you minimise the risk, each of the above instances have been where the owners were rushing to get their cameras just before a dive. You need to go somewhere nice and quiet and go thru the basics of whatever you do to get your camera nice and leak free and CHECK EVERYTHING.
