Thanks.
Don't own one, but have skimmed the B&H catalog looking for cases (www.bhphotovideo.com). I guess you might want to clarify how waterproof is "waterproof"? Something to play in the surf with (Bag/case for regular camera) or something you'll take diving to xx feet? Something to take on a river trip and get splashed? You can easily spend more on a case for a camera than the camera itself, depending on your needs/wants... For playing in the surf and mild snorkling shots, I have just used a waterproof "bag" with a flat(ter), clearer section for the lens to look through. Results are "ok". I'll look up brand when I get home...
