Anyone used a 20D under water? What waterproof housing did you use?

My experience is with Nikons. Depends on how much you want to pay as to
which housing you end up with. For SLRs I would always go with an
aluminium housing. I have an Aquatica for my D70s and a Subal for my
F80. The low cost end of housings will see you looking at an Ikelite,
which many people swear by, although it will probably end up bulkier
than the ally alternative. For more specialist opinions from people who
have housed your camera have a look at http://www.digitaldiver.net.

You can fit a 20D in a Ziplock sandwich bag?
I couldn't fit my 28-135 IS lens in one!
Do you mean the gallon size?

Quality housing units cost as much or more than the body AND lens...

Sid, that was uncalled for. Ten made a rather funny joke and there was no
need to react the way You did. Apologies are in place!
