Desiccant Packets for Canon A720IS

[cowdog77]

Would appreciate info on:
1. What size desiccant packets to get for the A720
2. Where can I get them online, and
3. How often should I change them?

Thanks~

I use these:
Buy Sealife Moisture Muncher SL911 with reviews at scuba.com

They change color (from purple to pink) when it's time to change them out. I don't go anywhere without a surplus supply (just in case!).

Instead of buying ten 1.5 gram packages for $10, spend a few more bucks and buy FIFTY 2-gram packets: Silica Gel Desiccant and Acid Free Tissue Paper

They turn from blue to pink when used up and can be recharged many many times by heating them in a low temperature oven.

Silica Gel Desiccant and Acid Free Tissue Paper

I have these as well based on recommendation from another psoter here. I can fit 2 within my Canon A570 IS and WP-DC12 underwater setup.
