Housing for Canon SD1000 & IXUS 70 Digital Cameras

This compact digital housing is molded of corrosion free clear polycarbonate, it is virtually indestructible with heavy duty walls that allow it to operate safely to 60m (200 feet).

All functions of the camera are accessible, except the print button. A flash diffuser is included to aid in improving lighting quality when the camera's built-in flash is used to illuminate subjects underwater.

Optional color filters #6441.32 for tropical blue water and #6441.72 for green water settings provide color correction in sunny conditions up to 80' (24m). For use without a strobe.

For optimum lighting underwater an optional external strobe (flash) is recommended. Ikelite strobes are brighter, recycle faster and offer wider coverage than the camera's flash. Being farther from the camera lens, the strobe aids in reducing the illumination of particles in the water which helps to eliminate backscatter.

Waterproof Housing for Canon S-80

Charlieng wrote this about the Ikelite 6140.08 waterproof camera housing for the Canon S-80 in buzzillions.com :

Purchased in April of 2006, scroll wheel control design was modified by Ikelite later; replacement was with a arm control kit. Easy to install yourself. Fix kit was sent to me for free by Ikelite, just send them the serial number of your housing and they'll check if it needs this change. If you use the housing in shallow depths, then you should NOT experience the scroll wheel being depressed when not intended. Ikelite customer service is fantastic!

Fixed lens port can have attached other lenses externally via it's 67mm screw threads.

I got the dual handle tray so I can mount 2 strobes. If you plan to do this, then upgrade the tray handle before you buy the housing. If you do NOT get the tray handle at all, then you will need to add weights to neutalize the floatation of the housing.

Easy push buttons and arm controls; because it's a clear housing you can see most of your camera so remembering where everything is visually, isn't a problem.

This housing has a better depth rating (66meters/200ft) than the thinner cheaper housing that you see made from Canon. They are rated for 33meters/100ft.

Clear housings allow you to see any leaks starting to occur (that is if you look/check). You can see the major O-Ring on the housing back before you take your system under.

I'm shooting mostly in manual mode so the S80's controls for aperture, shutter and ISO is very important to me, this housing is great!

Pros: See through housing, Tray Handle, Seals Easily, Strong Construction, Easy Shutter control, Includes flash diffuser, Can block internal flash, Access all S80 controls.

Cons: Bulky size, Heavy out of the water.

Overall rating 5 out of 5

Ikelite Waterproof Housing for Nikon Coolpix 7600

The housing is molded of corrosion free clear polycarbonate and operates safely to 200 feet. The flash built into the camera operates fine in the housing and provides very good photos.

An optional DS series strobe placed farther from the lens improves the photographs by reducing the illumination of particles in the water.
