Have an old point and shoot like an Olympus or Canon that you don't use anymore? I am looking to buy a small camera mostly to take in water video clips, occasional stills. The 130ft depth rated housings are fine. I can supply an SD card if you want to keep that. PM me what you got please, thanks.

I have a cannon elph, but no housing... maybe not super helpful, but its just sitting around if you think you could find a housing for it.

I have an SJ5000 and SJ4000 (GO PRO wannabees) and you can get them for like 70-80 dollars WITH underwater housing. I have had them pretty deep and they offer what you are looking for, small, 1080p video, stills, 170degree wide angle. Just a thought.

CaptnJack, not sure what Dusty has available but if you're still looking afterwards I've got a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ50 with the underwater housing and all the original accessories and box. It's a good setup and looking to upgrade, but would have to get rid of this gem first. Let me know.

Dusty is selling his Canon G10 so roughly the same level camera.

If either of yours or his have a deeper than 130ft rated housing (e.g. something like the 200ft ikelite) that would seal the deal. I can limit myself to recreational limits if need be, but having a housing suitable for deeper dives would be a welcome bonus. I don't know if deeper housing are available for these older models nowadays and I don't really have the budget for anything fancy either.

Yea. Mine is the case that Panasonic made for the camera. It has a depth rating of 40M/131ft.

There is an Ikelite housing for the camera (Product Number 6170.35) that retails for $475. Not too bad compared to some of the other models that are out there.
