Any idea if this will fit the VIXIA HF S10 or if there is a waterproof case coming out for it?
i just bought the HF20, and I want to know if the extended battery would fit in this housing.
Dear Canon Customer,
Customer’s may use the following camera batteries with the Waterproof Case:
The Canon BP-809 battery pack and the Canon BP-819 battery pack
The Canon BP-827 battery pack will NOT be able to be used with the Waterproof case.
The Waterproof Case Weight WW-DC1 are an optional accessory.
Sincerely,

My additional question for them is, is video snapshot and the joystic button accessable?
Best buy for the price for scuba diving. look at the price of camera housings compared to this and the camera that goes with it and you can get great digital video.
I just bought the Canon WP-V1 housing. I was wanting to know if you know of a light that can be used with this housing? I would like to find a light that can hold a underwater flashlight.
How do you attach a U/W light to the WP-V1 housing? $500 is considerable money if there is way to attach extra lighting.
Fantasea & Bonica make underwater light with harms system that will fit the wp v1.

Does the WP-V1 housing have a tripod socket on the bottom?
