Advice sought as to housing for Canon G5?

  1. Advice sought as to housing for Canon G5?

    Hello - just joined the forum.

     

    I have Canon G5 that I would like to house.

     

    I am either looking at the Ikelite or the Subal housings - these two seem to be the best I have discovered to date.

     

    I also want be able to use my Inon Z-220-S strobe and ultra-lite brackets.

     

    Any advice as to which is the better option to go - Ikelite or Subal - or perhaps viewers have other ideas?

    My main concern is that the G5 will be replaced shortly (actually already has) and any housing will not fit an upgrade to the camera! (lost dollars)

     

    I only print to postcard size and normally only look at my pictures on the monitor - so the G5 may be suitable for my use for quite a few years to come. I do not think I need a Canon SLR for my end purposes.

     

    Are people happy with the results from the G5 underwater??

     

    Many thanks..............Iain

  2. I just bought the aquatech housing for the G5 and it flooded on my first dive. I would suggest the Ikelite.
