jagfish:Hi Ed
Great pictures...
On impulse, I just ordered the G7 today. While I was at the electronics store, I found out I had some funds left in a budget that goes sour next month, so I had to make a snap decision since I would not be back to there for a while. Went with the G7 and ordered the Canon housing as well.
I plan to take photos using the stock setup for a while, but once dive season kicks in full gear in summer, I might investigate exterior strobe options. I feel I've been avoiding strobe for long enough, I'm ready...

Hi EdEd_Dman:Thanks Jagfish. Welcome to the G7 community. Hehe... I'm sure, you're gonna like it. I would strongly recommend that you get familiarized with your camera, as there are a lot of cool functions. My next suggestion is, get a strobe and soon you'll know why.
Do post some pictures, when you get to use it underwater.
Have fun!
Jonix - When is your turn? May the force be with you. :lol:

Ozzie Andrew:Hi Ed,
Some absolutely stunning shots, you are giving us all a target to strive towards !
I am about to upgrade from an Oly 5050 and have narrowed my search down to three cameras - Oly sp-550 uz, Canon S3is or the G7. I am finding it a difficult choice to separate the three, but had been tending away from the G7 due to the unusual shape of the port on the front of the housing, as I didnt think I would be able to get addon lenses to suit.
Now I read that you have been able to modify your housing, so I would be really interested in the details if you get the time to respond. This may just tilt me closer towards the G7 instead of the other two.
Many thanks,
