Sep 02, 2010 13:37 | #1 Looks like I might be doing a pool shoot next week and I need a housing or bag. The shoot will be in a swimming pool at a depth of 5 feet max and I need something to keep it safe and be able to grab focus while in video mode. Any suggestions that dont involve thousands of dollars? I was looking at the ewa-marine U-B 100 but I am not too sure how well that will work with manual focus. Thanks guys!

If you go for a 7D underwater housing, you would be spending close to $2000 or even more. - Ed

It'll run you $1600-$1700 for the housing. You will be better off renting it instead of buying, unless this will be something permanent. You will have a very hard time selling it as well after you upgrade to a new body. Gear | My gear is changing faster than I can update the signature

Thanks for the correction. flickr

BillBoehme Enjoy being spanked  More info | Canon is currently having a direct sale on underwater cases for their PowerShot cameras. They are selling them for around $240 which is roughly half price. You may have an email from Canon in the past couple days about the sale. I think that they are good to about 130 foot depth. Atmospheric haze in images?
