This posting is for a very well cared for Ikelite Housing (#6142) fitting the Canon G2 4 megapixel camera, also included. Included are the following:
o Ikelite housing #6142 (http://www.ikelite.com/web_pages/5can_g2.html)
o Flash diffuser, flash reflector and lens cap
o Orings (including an extra) and oring care kit
o G2 Camera & leather carrying case/protector
o LA-DC5 fliter adapter (attach any 58mm filter to the G2)
o Two battery chargers, and five batteries (3 newer, 2 older ones that were used as backups)
o USB cable, original manual, AV cables (connect to a TV), & remote control
It is in perfect condition with no notable scratches or dinks. I purchased a new camera and no longer have a use for it.
Both the camera and the housing are in perfect condition, with no notable wear or scratches. I am selling it since I am getting a new setup.
The Ikelite Housing
Every camera function except the self timer and continuous button is accessible in the housing. Optional UWL-100 wide angle lenses produced by Inon or the #58070 Sea & Sea wide conversion lens can be attached to the port. Complete housing and camera weighs less than 6 pounds
The housing includes a diffuser to allow underwater photos to be taken with the built-in strobe of the camera, but an optional DS series strobe placed farther from the lens improves the photographs by reducing the illumination of particles suspended in the water.
The housing is molded of corrosion free clear polycarbonate and operates safely to 200 feet. The Release Handle system allows easy attachment and removal of SubStrobe mounting arms at the touch of a button.
Housing measures 7" wide including knobs; 10.5" wide with the removable handle bar attached; 6" high including the removable base; and 6" deep including the port and back knobs.
The PowerShot Canon G2
The Canon PowerShot G2 is a precise and powerful tool for professional and advanced amateur photographers who want a very high-resolution digital camera that can offer them the quality, performance, and reliability that they're accustomed to finding in fine 35mm SLR cameras. The 1/1.8-inch 4-magapixel CCD in the new Canon PowerShot G2 creates image that displays no visible pixellation with far more densely detailed image.
-Richly detailed images with 4.0 M CCD & superb life like color
The PowerShot G2's 4 megapixel CCD provides high resolution for prints that are comparable to the products of fine 35mm cameras. The CCD is also equipped with primary color filters (RGB) for superior color reproduction. While in the past, primary color filters caused images to be somewhat noisier than complementary color filter, the G2 includes a new IC with improved signal processing to compensate for this. So images are not only rich in detail but also include true-to-life color, and lower noise levels than ever.
-Powerful 3x optical zoom and smooth 11x digital zoom
The G2 features a genuine Canon 3x Optical Zoom lens giving a 35mm equivalent focal length of 34 to 102mm. And, for even more dramatic close-ups, the G2 has a 3.6x digital zoom. Combined with the optical zoom, you can zoom smoothly in on your subject to a magnification of up to 11x!
-Vari-angle LCD for easier handling and shooting capability
The G2 was designed with a Vari-angle LCD so that you can shoot from any angle easily. The camera also has easy to access controls like stacked dials (main dial and mode dial) to turn the camera on or off or select the shooting mode. The G2 also has any easy to use Omni Selector to control the zoom or image selection during playback. And the optical viewfinder includes a built-in dioptric adjustment feature to adjust to your eyesight.
-12 shooting modes including movie and sound
The G2's 12 EOS-based shooting modes lets you take your desired shot.
-Manual
You're in complete control of all the camera's settings. A digital read-out on the LCD monitor gives updated exposure info. You set the aperture controlling the depth of field and the shutter speed is set automatically. For the utmost in convenience, the G2 sets the aperture and shutter speeds completely automatically.
-Auto
All the camera's parameters are set automatically. Pan-focus gives maximum depth of field and faster shooting speed.
-Portrait
The camera automatically sets to a large aperture for background blur.
-Landscape
The camera automatically sets to a small aperture for clear landscape shots.
-Night Scene
Background exposure and slow sync flash combine for subjects taken at night.
-Photo Effect
For black and white, sepia, neutral, or vivid color images.
-Stitch Assist
For easy to create panoramic shots.
-Direct print mode (for card photo printer CP-10)
With Direct Print Mode you can print brilliant credit card-sized photos using the Card Photo Printer CP-10 without computer connection. In 3 easy steps: Connect, Select and Print, your pictures will be ready in less than a minute. Choose from one of three formats, credit card-sized borderless images, credit card-sized bordered images or 8 mini-labels. A special cropping feature included in the G2 allows you to exactly size the image you want to print according to what appears in the frame of the LCD monitor.

New the housing alone is $750. I am selling the entire unit as a package. It has served me great and has seen some great diving in Hawaii, Cozumel, Belieze, Thailand, and Turks & Caicos. It's just time for me to upgrade. It would be great to get you started, or if you have a spouse or child that dive with you.
Would be happy to answer any questions via email.
