Ikelite cases are rated to greater depths, but are heavier and bulkier typically. For the average user, the manufacturer case would probably be alright. My Panny case is rated to 130. What happens is the buttons jam at about 140.

so i started all over again but this time i think i was a bit more unbiased and did some extensive research on sealife and well bottom line is im going to pass up the canon g11 and im getting to new sea life dc1200 Elite which comes with the external flash wide angle lens and the one year warrenty which covers the housing and camrea. all that for $799.00? im sold.

Glad you were able to decide and get a camera. Post some Oahu pictures for those of us that only get to visit occasionally.
Good diving and good shooting, Craig

Yeah, I'm not happy with my Sealife lately, been doing funky stuff with my pictures. I'm just going to move to to HD video and I can clip stills as I need them.
Peace,

I think you'll be ahead of the game with the Canon. We see lots of Sealife cameras on the boat, can't say anything about the newer models, but it seems like a large number of customers with the older models are working with replaced units (great customer service, but should cameras have problems that require replacement in the first place?). I've seen some pretty nice photos with Sealife cameras, but the Canon you are looking at is widely considered to be the best, or among the best, point and shoot camera ever made.
With any camera there's a growth curve in photo quality.. I've only had one camera I liked and got good photos with day one (sheer luck on my part)... when I replaced it with a newer model there was a learning curve of about 5-6 dives before I started seeing comparable, then better later, resuts.
