Film versus Digital?

[tebeau169]

I have 2 nikonos cameras; an Ikelite case for my Cannon Elan IIe; plus several stobes incliuding Nikonos SB105 and 4 Ikelite strobes, a 200, a 400 and 2 50s.
I also have a Cannon G9 but no u/w case for it.

I spent a week at Brac reef resort on Cayman Brac recently and was surprised that there was no film processing on the island.

I am wondering if anyone has my delima: to stay with my film u/w photo equipment or to buy a case for my G9? If I take the leap whose case should I consider?
Also, can I use my strobes with the camera? and has anyone used any of my strobes with a G9 in an u/w case?
Has anyone sold equipment such as mine lately? if so what are they selling for?
I would appreciate anyone with knowledge and experience not only posting on this board but contacting me dorectly at tebeau169@att.net.

Ikelite makes a case for the G9 that will probably work with your strobes. The G9 is a great camera and digital cameras are very convenient underwater. With a good sized memory card you can go all day taking pictures and not have to open the housing until the end of the day.

I have a G7 with a housing and I have been happy with it. My only complaint with the point and shoots is the shutter lag, which can be pretty frustrating with strobes. I have recently switched to a dslr and love having the control and speed of the dslr. The G7 is now operated by my wife and it is great having the option of using the smaller camera.

Good luck.
