Advertisement Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Hi jason, Take a look here Underwater case for D-LUX 2. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
AlanJW Posted April 3, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted April 3, 2007 Not for the D-Lux. Think about a Canon S50 or S60, used, plus the dedicated case made by Canon. Works perfectly. I have an old beat up S50 that we use solely for underwater stuff. The total cost would surely be less than anything made custom for the D-Lux.

rob_x2004 Posted April 3, 2007 Share #4 Â Posted April 3, 2007 um...um...ummm...rigid cases protect your camera from both water and pressure. Not sure how the Lux would handle the press of half an atmosphere. And you know you will go deeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted April 3, 2007 Share #5 Â Posted April 3, 2007 Exactly as well as you will handle it. Pressure equalizes, you can take it deep. These cases have been proven in use for over thirty years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted April 3, 2007 Share #7  Posted April 3, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) From the EWA-Marine website:   For the average camera / camcorder the following depths have been tested:   video-housings max. 10m / 30 feet    compact-housings max. 10m / 30 feet    SLR-manual-housings max. 15m / 45 feet    SLR-AF-housings max. 20-50m / 60-150 feet (depending on the model, as per our typesheet)    The depths given are maximum figures, which should not be exceeded. The protecting-housing will not start leaking at greater depths, but the handling of the camera / camcorder will restricted. As the water-pressure increases, the foil wraps around the camera like a skin. Due to this, the foil can start to press the start-/rec-button, other buttons or even stop the tape from moving (in the case of camcorders). Stop the descend immediately! As you go back towards the surface, the pressure decreases and all should go back to normal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
