| The canon housing is much more compact and probably lighter too as many of the Ikelite housings have a lrge trim weight attached.
The ikelite housings are rated to 60m rather than 40m for canon own. the canon housing may go deeper without leaking but the controls may not line up coorectly as the case may distort slightly at depth then retuurn to normal when ascending. This has happened to a friend of mine (at about 50m)
Ikelite housings will take wet lenses, whereas not all of the canon housings do. Might be wortyh checking if you thik they would be of interest later.
I have an Ikelite housing but sometiemes do not take it with me due to the weight/bulk and consequently miss out on some chances of shots.
If you do not have an external strobe, the canon housing will probably fit into a BC pocket. |
