Two Canon PowerShot A570is underwater cameras with Canon housings and one iKelite AF 35autoflash set up and ready to use. This flash has not been in the saltwater, and only 4 days of diving. This was due to me flooding my original flash, sent it back to Ikelite and they replaced with a brand new one. (I LOVE Ikelite!)
The reason I have two set ups is that I ended up with moisture in the original camera and replaced it. I purchased a new A570. In the meantime, the original camera dried out and began working fine. This moisture was from a fresh water spring, not sea water. A small bug was on the O ring which I didn't notice resulting in the moisture but no flood. The only problem is the LCD screen is a bit hazy around corners but does not affect the picture quality. The other one, which is newer, the battery door does not clip all the way shut but it too does not affect its operation. I have taken 1000's of shots with both these cameras with no problems. I am only selling them as I am finally upgrading camera set ups. (I did upgrade, and lost the camera but now trying again. see my lost camera thread)
Today I took both housing and camera, with flash to 100 feet and no problems. The set ups are rated to 40m/130 feet. I have taken this camera to the Oriskiany at 121 feet with no problems . lately I've been using one set up for diving, and the one without the flash for snorkeling and various water activities.
here is what you get:
Ikelite Autoflash AF35 flash, with manual -
2 Diffusers (one was with the original flash)
2 Canon PowerShot A570 is and a manual
2 Canon WP-DC12 waterproof housings with a manual - one has a brass clip included (I'm keeping the other)
extra strobe arm (from original flash)
new o-ring for housing, never used.
all the plugs and cords which came with camera
software for the Canon cameras
various other crap that I never used that came with it. Including one full tube of silicone lube, and straps.
The Ikelite flash is about $400 new, the cameras, even on ebay will cost $150 apiece, plus and I paid $400 for the first housing, and got the second housing at $100 when canon discontinued them. I will sell everything listed for $500 and I'll include shipping within the U.S.
