Looks like its never been used, camera is new but a pos really, all the seals are in great condition, now i just need to find a digital to go inside it.
All the point and shoots i can find have extending lenses which this housing won't accomodate, so if anyone can point me in the right direction or have something that would suit and you want to sell please drop me pm.

I'll measure the actual camera and get some dimensions if anyone does have something suitable.

You need something like the Kodak easyshare C300 but the lens is off centre.

I take it that you want to take out the 35mm and put in an el-cheapo digital? (edit: er, yeah, I skipped over that)

look for something boasting digital überzoom (8x digital zoom!!!) and no optical zoom. Nikon and Canon really don't compete in this space.

Fujifilm used to make a finepix A200 (?) that was digital zoom only as well. Probably can find one going cheap second hand.

I would go the Pentax W10 or similar Waterproof so if there is small leak no problemo!
