Canon G9 with Ikelite Housing & DS-125 Substrobe

[Splendidus]

Just made the purchase and I am looking for people who are using the same set-up. I am interested in your results, ease of use, quality of TTL, and any suggestions you may have. I did not purchase the EV-Controller.Is this something I should consider and if so how well does it work? Big trip to Raja Ampat in May and I want to be prepared.

On the surface the Canon G9 is an awesome P&S camera and a great back up to my 5D.

First off, welcome to Scubaboard.

Second, there is a forum dedicated to Canon users where you might have better luck with the right person seeing the post.

I'm a 40D shooter myself and looking at the G9 or A650 to replace my old A620.

Edit: Thanks Alcina for moving the post

Thanks for the quick hello and good information. I'll jump into that group once I figure out how all of this works. I read a lot on forums, but rarely participate. I like what I've seen here.

The 40D is a sweet camera. I saw a few other people using the G9 as a backup in some of the other forums, especially divers from Australia and New Zealand. Once I get this all together I'll post a short review.

We love reviews!! Once you've got the review up here (with photos!) let me know and I'll see if we can't add it to the Sticky (follow the Pink Link in my sig)
