I, too, use the Canon S45 and WDC 300 housing. As well as some add on lens's
and an external strobe ( INON D180). So far so good.

Mario;

I use a Nikon Coolpix 4300 with a Fantasea CP4 housing with attached Sea&Sea
20mm Wide conversion lens. In addition I light things up with an Epoque ES
150 DS.
The system works well and if bought from the right sources can cost less
then $1000.

There are U/W housings available for some of the Canon cameras. Depending
on what you need you may be able to find a deal on ebay or searching
google.com

Probably sold too good a product at too low a price.
Sorry to hear they might be doing badly, glad I got a great price on a
camera that, to my inexpert skills, appears outstanding!
