Canon PowerShot A540 + Canon WP-DC2 housing

[diverdamsel]

Hi,

I would be able to get this Canon set for quite cheap price from my friend who is no longer able to dive. The only thing between me and the camera is that I can't find information on if it is possible to attach a wide-angle (whats-it-in-english) to the housing. Is that possible or not?

If it fits in an Ikelite housing, you can attach Inon or Epoque wide angles to the housing.

I'm pretty sure you can attach the wa and macro lenses to the Canon housing. To double check perhaps contact Ryan at www.reefphotovideo.com - he's a great guy.

If it's anything like the other powershot series... no... I have had powershots A60 and S1 IS with the underwater housings. Absolutely fantastic cameras and housings. Best bang for the buck. If you're looking for the ability to change lenses and such, you will need to spend lots of money on the higher end stuff. But, been using them for a while and will continue to buy the new models. They are great for what they are... An out of the box u/w setup that's easy to use the first day...

I don't think scuba-c is correct. Pretty sure clgmason is using the A95 with add on wet mate lenses as is Ed_Dman with the S80. Again - go to Reef Photo and ask to make doubly and tripley sure!

Here's the link with the adaptors to accept lenses http://www.reefphoto.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_87&zenid=009dac3c5da8ab0525b16fa69597bf50

Not the first or the last time I've been wrong. All I know about the Canon is the oem stuff. Haven't looked for the aftermarket stuff, I just grab it and roll over the side and start snapping shots. It's a fantastic inexpensive point and shoot and shoot and shoot. I'll take at least 200 shots per dive, depending on time. And also 200+ shots on the ride out and in.
