Anyone know where to get a replacement camera? I found the housing at a pawn shop, but no camera!

Or, does anyone know of a different digital camera that will fit into the housing? Thanks!

My recommendation would be to go to the SeaLife website and see if there's a list of compatible cameras. Absent that, you could try eBay.

But did you talk to somebody at SeaLife? That's what I'd do. I'd talk to them about it via phone and see what they recommend. Absent that, I'd take it to the camera store and see which one fits best. But if it's been sold by itself, is there a reason? Have you verified that it still has it's waterproof integrity?

I sent an email to Sealife and di not get a response. I have not taken the camera to any depth, but the 'o' ring looks good and it did not leak when I submerged it in a bowl of water on my counter. :-) I was going to take the housing to depth this weekend, but my trip was canceled. Cross my fingers for next weekend and will try to contact Sealife again via telephone this time. As always, thanks!

Well it's important to remember that it isn't just about being submerged in water, it's the water PRESSURE. If the seals are suspect, they may hold at a depth of a few inches, but will they hold at a depth of 35 or 40 feet? That's the issue.
