Ikelite G10

you'd want to open it and flood the camera out of frustration

I also think my main point was missed about people wanting super wide lenses yet very, very few UW photographers use them effectively. So as stated, I'd be happy with a true 28mm on any Canon G10 I take beneath the waves.......

 

I predict the Canon G10 will be another hit for Canon and many UW users giving it a try.....

David, your comment is really on the mark for me even before as this is something I have been weighing recently. Could I live with true 28mm and skip the wet lens?? I think I could. It sure would make everything a lot simpler. I would even be willing to have two ports like the Patima. I think if I want more than that I would just house my wife XSi.

Hello,

I am new to this forum and currently thinking of purchasing a Canon G-10 with a Canon WP-DC28 housing. I will be using the camera for wide angle work mainly. I freedive only and the primary subjects that I will be shooting are California Yellowtail and White Sea Bass in typical visibilities between 15-50ft. Many of the shots will be in low light situations (kelp canopy) so a small camera set up without strobes is very advantageous. I will also be using a Magic filter (green and blue) depending on the situation. My question is has anyone used the G-10 with the factory housing yet and if so what are your findings. Thank you very much in advance for your comments.

I have the G10 with the WP-DC28 housing. On a recent trip of Bali, I managed to 'blood' the camera underwater, and the casing. As a relative novice when it comes to uw photography and the G10 being my first setup, I'm quite pleased with the results, both wide angle and macro. The flash diffuser that comes standard with the DC28 certainly makes a difference.

Once I'm done with final edits, I'll post some photos from the trip.

Hi DB48 and welcome. Yellowtail and white-seabass under the kelp - that really gets this San Diego boy's blood pumping!

If you want a good low light camera that can accept an add-on wideangle lens then the G10 may not be the best. It's decent but not great in low light, and as far as I know there's no way to put a wideangle lens onto the Canon housing. I'm not even sure if the Ikelite housing will accept a widangle lens :-(

Other options to look at would be the Panasonic Lumix and the Fuji 1000 series. I have older Fuji F30 with Inon wideangle adapter and it is excellent.

Cheers
