Waterproof camera/Lens covers

Could anyone tell me the best place to purchase a waterproof cover for a canon 350d and Sigma 50-500 lens please.
So far all the sites I have googled are for diving equipment.

that might help you - lets you not only view through the viewfinder (and not through the plastic) but also lets you keep a hand on the controls without risking the camera - simple and cheaper than some others (though it is just cheap plastic so its not got the guts that some other makes have)
Might be a good complimentary accessory to some of the other suggestions though - some appear to have access issues at the back
