Housing for the PowerShot SX20 IS

[yency]

Hello,

I'm checking for buy a new camara, i was thiking in a G10 but i saw the PowerShot SX20 IS, because has the HD video recording, and the Photo options is almost the same. The winner will be the PowerShot SX20 IS for the HD recording. But i was searching for the housing and i found in the cannon web site the Canon Waterproof Case WP-DC20 for PowerShot S1 IS, this case could fit the SX20 IS? or the Ikilite Case?

Thanks

Hi Yency,

What did you end up doing? I was looking at the SX20, but was unable to find a canon manufactured housing for it.

The #6148.01 Canon SX10 IS & SX20 IS Ikelite Housing works:

Ikelite Underwater Housings for Canon Cameras

Am getting this for my personal use. Any other recommendations for the housing?

I went through this same situation and will be getting an Ikelite housing with the AF35 AutoFlash and arm tray. It isn't took expensive for a set that will work great.

This was even recommend from Joe Liburdi (his shop is 20 mins from my house!)

I have a canon sx20is for sale if anyone is interested. it is one year old (sub 500 frames). comes with a 2 gig sd card, mini tripod, lowpro bag, and original box with cables and start up guide (the full user guide and drivers are free down loads on the Canon site.). The camera is flawless and had a filter on the lens until last week (has had a lens cover on since the filter go moved to a new lens. email me at rileybri@hotmail.com for photos.....

cheers,

Give some more thought to buying a Canon SX20IS for underwater use.

1. According to the Ikelite website the #6148.01 housing for the SX20IS is no longer made or available.

2. The SX20IS does not appear to have RAW capability which IMO is a must for non-strobe shots.

Just seeing this post now and as the camera sold locally to an older Greek man about to go to Europ for a vacation it is no longer avalable. It it were I would have to agree withthe above post. Its probably no longer a viable option for diving unless you already have the housing and know it works. I never dove with mine and had no real intention of selling it to a diver unill I saw this thread asking about it. As I had one for sale at the time I added mine to the mix. Thanks for looking into it further Gilligan.........
