The girlfriend is going to get me an underwater camera for my bday. I was looking on deeperblue forum and is sounds like the s80 with an ikelite cause is a good combo. Anyone have opinions on cameras?

Brian,

I assume you're talking Canon? If so, my S50 has worked very well. The shutter response time absolutely kicks butt on my waterproof Olympus 720. I have a lot of contacts in SE AK, where bad gear gets sorted out quick, that swear by the Canon S series going back to the days of the S40.

Regards,
Scott

What's your budget?

If you're set on the s80, the Canon WP-DC1 waterproof housing is rated for 130ft and is $170 retail vs. $370 retail for the Ikelite 6140.08

Brian, you may have already known about it but I think RockHopper was selling an underwater camera a while back...check the classifieds.  I don't think he ever sold it so it might still be available.
