Underwater housing for Canon A720IS (WP-DC16)

[meagicano]

Hi All

I'm looking for an underwater housing for the old Canon A720IS digital camera I have kicking around. I don't want to upgrade to a new model of camera at the moment as I'm on a fairly tight budget due to imminent "retirement" from the military.

I found it on the Canon estore for $285 and it's on ebay for about $210. I'm in Canada, if that makes a difference, but am willing to pay shipping or drive down to Ogdensburg to pick it up from the UPS store.

Thanks!

I have one and am located in Vancouver. It's not brand new, though. What price are you hoping to pay?

I honestly don't even know what's a fair price because the camera itself is about six years old and I know Canon did a big clear-out of underwater cases about 4 years ago (price was $76). The big thing keeping me from buying a new case from the retail outlets is that I know it's an older camera and they do eventually conk out! Plus, if I drop $250 or so on the waterproof case I might as well just buy a new case and a new camera and have everything together for about $500.

Is the one you have in decent shape? No issues that you know of?
