I've got an A40 in a housing. Don't pay £139 for one- I picked up mine brand spanking new for £39. Just keep an eye out on fleaBay or there is a place daaaaahn saaaaaarf what does end of line stuff. IIRC it was www.camerashop.co.uk. Dunno if they still exist, though.

I have a Canon PowerShot A30, if you take a look on my members gallery you can see some of the pictures it is capable of taking, though your will be slightly better because of the A40 having more megapixels. I have found it a VERY easy to use housing, the buttons are easy to press and in all the right places even when wearing 5mm gloves.

Incidently it is the WP-DC200s you are looking form and I recommend getting some weights for the bottom to stop it being too floaty (I put these on for the first time this year and have much better results than without).

Hope this helps, I got mine from eBay and have had no problems, though I replaced the main O-ring to be on the safe side.
