Check craigslist, I got mine for $100.00 used, but it was "like new" condition.

Ahhh, good idea. I will look on Gumtree.

Cheers.

Well clicking on Lionel's link, The original version, with a housing for up to 197ft depth is listed at $129. That's within your price range you gave in your original post, its just not the newest model.

As for those bags... that is indeed what we ended up using, with our 10 year old DSLR, and it worked well. We took photos all week long and only had to come in when we killed the battery or filled the memory card.

I don't know as I'd use it with a new DSLR, but if you have an older model in your cupboard that works, I'd not thumb my nose at that option.

My DSLR is quite new so I'd not want to risk it. Sorry, wasn't meaning to be dismissive. I had a friend use one of those bag things and it leaked.

I've looked that camera up on UK websites and it's £200+ here so I'll have to source a second hand one if I do choose that model.
