    Sony Camera Housing Questions...

    Hello...

    I am the proud owner of a Sony DSC-W560 Camera, that I purchased last summer. I've recently found out that you weren't going to make a housing for this model, or the 570 model.

    Will the housing for the 530 support this model as well since they are the same dimensions? The only difference between the 530 and the 560 is that the 560 does HD video.

    Thank you!

    Tracy,

    Based on a direct comparison of the W530 and W560 cameras, the body dimensions are different. They must be "identical" to fit in the same housing. Therefore, the W560 will not fit correctly in the W530 housing.

    See the comparison here: Side by Side Comparison: Digital Photography Review

    Tracy,

    Sorry, but we don't have a housing that is compatible with the W560.

    For future purchases make sure to visit our website for a list of the most current housings available: IKELITE Underwater Systems.

    Thanks for considering Ikelite.

    Regards,

    Brett
