Does anybody know if there are plans to produce an underwater housing
for Canon PowerShot SD200 or SD300 cameras?
The on currently available is an all-weather one and doesn't allow to
go dipper than 3m.
Thanks in advance.

Yes. Check here.

Note that the UW housing is different for the the 2 models. SD200 uses
WP-DC600 while the SD300 uses the WP-DC100.

I have a Canon A85 with the WP-DC30. The housing gives access to ALL the
controls. It seals very well, has an idiot proof latch. I have not yet had a
chance to dive with it. Servicing the O ring is easy.

Based on the information from Rudy Benner, I purchased a Cannon WP-DC100
housing for my CannonPowerShot SD300 DIGITAL Elph.

STOP!

My elph is much to small for the WP-DC100.

I repeat, "The WP-DC100 DOES NOT house the Cannon PowerShot SD300
DIGITAL Elph!"

Just talked with Cannon Support. The WP-DC100 supports the "S300" only!

So, I have a WP-DC100 available!

Yes, the WP-DC100 is for the S300, not for the SD300.
