House for Canon EOS 500D

[berggren]

Goodevening everyone here on Scubaboard

I will start saying that i am from Denmark, and totally new on underwater photography.

In june i bought a Canon EOS 500D, and i have planned to get underwater soon as possible, the problem is just that the house is pretty expensive for a student. So i was searching the internet and dreaming about the house i one day would buy, when my attention suddenly spotted this "ewa-marine: U-A underwater camera housing for dSLR" (look in bottom, of this thread) is it somekind a bag to have your camera in under diving. I think it looks pretty cool, but as far as i understand it is only for old SLR cameraes, but does anyone know if there is any solution for me, when i have a DSLR?

Somehow i am not alloud to post links yet because i am not that active an user yet, but the links for the housing is:

ewa-marine .com/index.php?id=83

If you want to check it out, then just copy into your browser and delete the gab between "marine" and ".com".
Thank you in advance

There is not a chance in hell id trust my SLR to a ziplock plastic bag "housing).
They do leak, they do have problems and no way is it worth it. You also cant connect strobes, dome ports and so on.

Best bet is ikelite or similar. More expensive but better in every respect.

RDX-550D also fits the 500D...
