Re:Digital Camera
I've got a Canon S-40 with the associated UW housing made by Canon. I think the housing fits many Canon cameras in the same form factor. There is a very similar housing for the G-2 (and similar) as well.

I picked the camera because it had a relatively inexpensive UW option. I think the housing was under $200 and rated to 100 feet. Bought mine at National Camera Exchange in Edina.

It has only seen the pool so far. It worked fine for snapshot but it uses the internal flash is way to close to the lens so there was often backscatter even in the pool.

You can control just about everything on the camera. Frankly, I'd rather seem them remove some of the buttons and lower cost and risk of flooding from all those o-rings. It was even functional with gloves.

Other than that I thought the pictures were pretty darn nice. If I can find a solution for an additional flash, I think the pics will improve even more.

Just looking to trying it someplace without chlorine.
