Starting to get really excited as we can pick up our camera for underwater photography this week. We’ve had to wait to within 30 days of departing for our overseas trip so we can get the TRS on it.

We are planning on getting a Canon G9 with the Canon housing. I thought long and hard about whethe to get an Ikelite housing however the Ikelite housing is more than double the cost of the Canon WP-DC21 and I would not be able to use the Ikelite without a strobe. As I am not planning on getting a strobe just yet, it makes sense to just stick with the Canon housing.

I can add a strobe to the Canon housing using an Optical sync cord. I can even add wet lenses if I get the 67mm lens adapter that is being sold on www.uwdigitalcamera.com.

So at the moment I am trying to figure out what Pelican case (watertight, shock proof and dust proof camera case) to get for the new setup. It will mainly be used to transport the camera whilst travelling and when on dive boats. I am planning on putting the G9 in the underwater housing, and the whole lot in a Pelican case.
