Housing for Canon G9
I plan to buy a Canon PowerShot G9 for underwater use. I have a Canon EOS 30D, but I do not intend to use it underwater. I would like to seek advice on the choice of housing for the G9. I'm not comfortable with the Canon housing because its depth rating is only 130 ft. (or less?). I would also like to know the pros and cons for the top choices. By the way, if you have negative feedbacks on the G9, please let me know. Thanks.

Dennis,
I think your only remaining good choice is the Ikelite housing for the G9.
Another G9 option
It looks like you may have one more choice for the Canon G9.
The Sea and Sea Japan website has a press release for a G9 housing.

This will hopefully be available in the U.S. very soon.
Welcome to the SMN Community MV, and thanks for the tip!
The housing looks really interesting, in that with luck it is more form fitting to the G9 rather than using a basic larger housing and just modifying the control positions for a specified camera.
Thanks for your inputs. I like the compact appearance of the Sea&Sea MDX-G9. I'll contact the Philippine distributor to check when this will become available locally.
damn, ￥135,000 for that housing, that is like $1250. unless that price of ￥35,000/$325 at the bottom is for housing alone. lets hope so.
Stop Quoting dead people, i say start thinking for your self
