housing for Powershot s5 is

[whodunit68]

has anyone seen a housing for this? I've confirmed with Canon (and endless searching) that they don't make one. Ikelite makes one but it's over $700!
I have recently learned there are other manufacturers but I'm not finding anything. any thoughts?

I too have an S5IS and the only WP case I have been able to find is the same one you found. I have concluded it would be better to get an SD 790 and a canon case. This way you have a reasonably good,
compact underwater camera and save a couple of hundred $ as well.

thanks Pete, I was evaluating something like that....I've been looking a little up the chain in $ at the G10 though there's so many mixed reviews....I like the compacts for the value - you can get some great shots for a low comparable investment. however, on land, I like some of the control I get from my S5 IS and the G10. Got stuff to think about. thanks.
