Camera & waterproof case required

POSTED BY: sdjpaterson 2 months, 1 week ago

Hi everyone..

My camera broke yesterday so am on the llok out for a new one, basically need some suggestions. Ideally it would be a camera that would fit a waterproof housing as I would like to use it whilst scuba diving.

At the moment I like the look the Canon Ixus 75 and wp-dc14 waterproof case. Would anyone know if there are deals for these as the ones ive found seem to be sold out..

I deally id like a cmaera of about 6-7mp, a decent optical zoom and generally quite a good camera.

I think the cheapest ive found the ixus and case is

camera = £149 (amazon)
case = £111.99 (devon cameras)

if anyone can beat this or has any suggestions it would be really appreciated.

I'd get the ixus 70, same camera, but smaller, and it has an optical viewfinder(usefull incase you ever break the screen, as you can still use the camera then!).

If you have a Tesco extra near you it's like £99.99 with a photo printer.

Amazon has just the camera for £114.50 in all silver or silver and black(which I have).

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but at £31.72 it is worth a try.

I've had loads of stuff off ebuyer and they are pretty good.
