Cannon powershot SX200 IS info

[gjlangtry]

I'm trying to find out if there's an underwater housing for the Cannon PowerShot SX200. I've been using an Intova IC 800 which is a good starter set for anyone who's intrested in an inexpensive compleat outfit. I got the sx200 and a I'm amazed that it has all the tools of the bigger SLRs in a very small compact body. It looks like it would be the perfect fit for an underwater housing but I haven't located one. I would appreciate any info anyone may have.

As you can see, I'm partial to Ikelite. I'm not sure if Canon makes one for this model.

Thanks so much. I'll check them out.

This quote from Ikelite explains why super zooms are not good for an underwater camera:

"The camera's extremely long zoom range prevents the effective attachment of external wide angle conversion lenses. "

If you can live with that, you are good to go.

Thanks. I'm finding out that just because a camera is great on land doesn't mean it's good under water.
