CANON UW Housings

Hello Digital UW Photophiles!

I am looking for a housing for my Canon PowerShot A40. I have found two variations of the Canon housing model number: WP-DC200 or WP-DC200s.

Is there a difference between these two housings? Is one an older model? Apparently both can accomidate the A10, A20, A30, and A40 cameras.

Thank you.

I just looked at the Canon web site, and it looks like the S model is just a newer model. Perhaps better, but I don't know for sure, but it's the only one listed on their site for your camera. Hope this helps.

Happy diving,

Don

I bit the bullet and bought a WP-DC200 (orange latch, NOT WP-DC200s which has a red latch) on ebay for $61. ;D

I figured it was a great deal on a new housing. Indeed it does fit my A40! I haven't tourture tested it yet but I think it will work just fine for my purposes. Going to Puerto Vallarta next week. I am not heavy into UW photo and will use it mostly snorkeling and on my kayak to document the large fish I catch! I was worried that the DC-200 was recalled and replaced with the DC200s. I could not find any info to support that notion, however.

Thanks for all the input.
