Canon PowerShot A710IS + WP-DC6

Hello everyone,

I've purchased a nice point&shoot camera - the powershot A710IS, and it's housing, also manufactured by Canon, the WP-DC6...and I'm considering my next steps for strobe and lenses.

1) I was surprised to realize that Inon is not making any lens adapter for WP-DC6. This seems official, as I read in some other topic in this forum. So I'm looking for alternatives...I found Dyron - a french manufacturer. Anyone knows them? They claim to offer a solution for WP-DC6 which includes an adapter, a macro lens, and also a wide lens.

Link for the adapter : http://www.plongimage.com/product_info.php...products_id=833

Link for the macro lens: http://www.plongimage.com/product_info.php...products_id=744

Link for the wide lens: http://www.plongimage.com/product_info.php...products_id=548

Any opinion on this products?

2) Strobe: I'm not to keen on spending a fortune for a strobe. I've looked at some Sea&Sea and Inon ones. What would you recommend?

Thank you for your help!

did you purchase that Dyron adapter by any chance?

Nope. I'm still waiting to see if it's worthwile. In the meantime I bought the Sea&Sea YS-110. Great!

I don't know if the lenses will be a good investment, as they will not be used if I change to another camera somewhere in the future.

Can anyone give an opinion about these Dyron products?

has anyone used this yet seems like a way to cut some costs. although i still like the idea of wrapping my g7 in the stronger ikelite housing.

You're probably right. An Ikelite WP case, and then use compatible inon or epoque lens.

i have seen one of these adaptor for the G7 but not the WP-DC6 / DC8.

this is fabricated in Taiwan and not sure how good it is.

i am looking for an adaptor for my WP- DC8 housing as well as a WA lens.

i seen the site which have been posted but they are in French.

does anybody able to help to translate.

I have the same setup. You say Great! to the YS-110. Do you have to lock the exposure to get the strobe in synch with the camera? ...LightningRod
