Help - Housing for my digital

[Scuba Stefan]

Hello everybody

Some help for an underwater photography wanna-be

I have a Canon ixus v2 camera and i am thinking about bying an underwater houing for it. But I am worried that the housing will only fit that camera and therefore i would have to change housing everytime I change my camera. Would probably change the camera within the next 2 years or so.

So do housings fit only just one camera or is it a lifelong investement?

If there are different housing which one is recommended?

Hope you can help me

Thanks

Stefan

Try this link. Yes, you probably will have to change housings for each camera you get.

Stefan -

MOst of canon's housings are sub $200, that is not a life long investment although mine so far have lasted for years. The other possible housings are a bit more money, but still will probably not move to the next camera you buy. That's just one of the things to think about when choosing a camera system - how much are you willing to spend?

www.digideep.com will give you the options for various housings for the camera you have/are considering.

Go ahead and get the housing - you'll get more value out of housing it and taking it wiht you than you will not spending the money!

Yes most of the housings are model specific, but the lower end ones are under $200 and will suit the recreational photog. well enough. However is it my understanding that many of the expensive housings can be modified to suit different cameras? maybe?

My Subal for the 20D can't...she's not the most expensive out there, but she didn't drop from a gumball machine, either
