Epoque/Patima have announced the development of a new housing for the Canon Digital Rebel XT.  We don’t have any photos of it yet, but it will be made out of high-quality aluminum and stainless steel, and will support two housed Canon Speedlight 580EX strobes (optional).  A macro port and fish-eye dome port (for the Canon 15mm fish-eye lens or Sigma 8mm fish-eye lens) will also be available.  Continue reading for details.

If it’s anything like Epoque’s Patima housing for the Olympus C-7070, it should be pretty and compact.
