[gohjialong]

Hi guys, any idea where i can get the new underwater housing for canon s100?
Not sure if its in stores already.

Would be nice if you could let me know about the RRP as well. Thanks.

Try the usual big photography shops... Cathay, MS.. etc. Even if they don't have stock... they normally could order one for you. The retail price should be $369 as this has been the price of U/W casing since my Ixus 400.... Street Price commonly would be anything from $285-$320. If you have the budget... suggest get a 3rd party casing like those from Ikelite... its only slightly more $$$ than the OEM casing... but much better built and has the standard 67mm screw thread for close-up lens.

Should be DC-43.

Wow... nice deal. Cheaper than from most shop. Since casing got no warranty anyway, buy from who also make no difference. :bsmilie:

Yeah. I got one at $250 for my S95 from eBay. Just collect from the shop at Hill Street.

Thanks guys for the headstart. Will check out Ikelite as i initially thought that the original version would be better. will also take a look at ebay too.

In U/W Photography terms... 3rd party is commonly better and more $$$. :bsmilie:

Any idea if it's available in SG?

If yes, where and how much?

I check scubacam, oceanicfocus and ikeliteasia, either no price or in usd.

Thanks

You asking about the Ikelite or Canon ?? If you've talk to those shops already.... then they may be out of stock, trying booking or ask them to order one. And yes... the price is always in USD, which they would then qoute you the SGD after checking the exchange rate.

oops, sorry, i mean ikelite.
as "an drew" posted a good listing in ebay for canon one, would like to know how much an ikelite is going for on street.
coz compare the offer posted by "an drew" to import from US, the diff is sgd 150 or more

Bought my canon underwater casing according to this link by An drew.
Decided to buy the canon one as the ikelite one is more costly.
And i think the canon one will be good enough for me.
Thanks!

Great! Hope you have lots of fun like I did with mine.
