I'm not sure if this has been covered before but I found a link ot this company who makes bags that you can put a camera inside. Instead of a hard case this one makes it easeir with a sort of built-in glove you use to control the camera. Cheaper alternative for those who can't afford a normal underwater enclosure.

Check it out..

The ewa-marine web site reckons the Canon 20D version of this can go underwater to a depth of up to 50m!!! I'd never have guessed that from looking at it! Think I'd feel a bit nervous taking my gear to that depth in one of these!

Have you got one? Or are you getting one? I enjoy taking underwater pics when I get the chance but the cost of underwater housings has always been prohibitive, so I'd be very interested to know how this performs...

I too would be very interested to hear of people's experience with this...
