Soft camera housings

Boy, talk about a newbie. I'm new to snorkling and photography. I own an Olympus Stylus 1000 digital and would like to take it with me snorkling. I'm considering the DICAPac WP-100 or the EWA marine D-L12 housings. I figure this outfit will get me "in the door" and I can always upgrade.

Has anyone had any experiance with these products? Any other input?

don't do it! those things a not worth the risk.

Many years ago I had an Ewa Marine bag for my video camera. It was great for skinny dipping, but at depth none of the buttons worked because of the pressure. You're much better off getting a hard plastic case for your camera. They are not that expensive and you'll be able to use it for much more than just getting in the door. You can check Digideep.com to see who makes housings for your particular camera model.

My thanks to all. It's wonderful to have input from those with experience with the equipment. Looks like I'll be saving my sheckles for a hard case.
