    Underwater cases for the 800IS or the S3?

    Can anyone recommend a case for these cameras that will allow me to take them into water? I am not planning to do any type of deep diving, this will be used just to go on camping and hiking trips.
    I want to be able to use it underwater to take pictures not just protect it from water.

    Thanks.

    Hey Kat...

    There's only one that I've ever seen for the S3...and...its MEGA expensive!

    As far as the 800 IS goes, you can go with the Canon WP-DC9 (around $165.00)
