Hello everybody,

First of all, introduce myself. I'm a spanish diver who is almost turning crazy, looking for a compact camera for outwater photogragh but maybe in a nearly future, starting with underwater pictures. I will also apologize for my english, but I expect it is enough for our understanding.

Right now, what I want is a compact camera for outwater pictures and I want a 10x/12x optical zoom. What i've found is Canon powershot S2 IS, Oly SP-500 and so on, but it´s almost impossible for me to find this kind of camera with its own underwatercase, in order to have an only camera for all.

I´ve just only able to find the Powershor S1 IS with the WP-DC20, but 3MP are not enogh for my interests, so I´m almost turning crazy for finding my goal.

In this order, do you know/remember any camera which can satisfies my purposes? or even better, do you know if Canon is gonna make in a nearly future a case for the S2 IS? I will recognize that this option is my favourite.

Asking dealers and other forums here in Spain, I´ve not been able to find anything. I hope, there in the States, somebody can guide me.

Thank you very much.

Kind regards,
Javier
 
olympus c-750 is a 4mp digital compact with 10x optical and has an olympus housing.
 
Thank you clownfish!!

Don't you think 4MP is quite short for big prints?I know, I'm too demanding.

An option I have studied is the following:

Oly C-7070: 7.2MP and 5x optical zoom.
Case PT-024.

To reach my need of 12x optical zoom for outwater using, a telephoto like this:

What do you think of these "tools"? Could it be a feasible option?

Any suggestion will be welcome.

Thanks
