lungfish

Hi guys

I want to start taking some pic's while diving and was hoping to use my current camera witch is the CANON IXUS 220HS. The problem is it has no manual adjustment for aperture settings or shutter speed. Im reading underwater photography for compact camer users by Maria Munn, and manual adjustment of these settings seem important.

Hopefully some one can help as the cost of a new camera and housing is steep.

P.S I have been looking at the CANON own brand housing and the IKELITE housing and was wondering what would be best. I think i already know the answer to this but always looking to save a few £'s.

Any and all help would be great.

Thanks

Russell
