Price Question (SP-350)

[Rapida]

Hello,
I finally decided I want a Oly SP-350 camera and ideally a Ikelite housing to go along with it. How big of a hit will my wallet be taking on average for those two items? If it is to much I might go with the PT-030(going from memory here so that very likely is wrong). Anyway, so if anyone can suggest a good retailer or just tell me about how much I should expect to pay I would greatly appreciate it.

An ike housing will set you back $450

I have no idea on the camera itself.

HTH,
Dave

yep, about $200 for the camera, $450 for the ikelite or $250 for the PT-030.

The pics listed below taken in Roatan are done with a SP-350. Good luck.

If you want the oly housing check out B&H photo or 17th street photo about 190.00 at each.
here is the link for 17th street photo 197.99 and in stock. http://www.17photo.com/results.asp i have bought four cameras from the over the last few years. They are not a grey market store. they are authorized by oly as a online store.

Go with ikelite. keep in mind that the price of the ikelite's one is included an arm and a tray which cost about US$50-US$100 (better check the price first as i live in Indonesia not in the States).Tand it can go down to 60 meteres plus an international warranty. standard parts so if something happens to hte housing in the future there likely to have the spareparts for it. and they give u good service.
