Waterproof Housings For Canon G7


Great Selection of Underwater Housings Offered

The Canon WP-DC11 Waterproof Case is designed especially for the PowerShot G7. Capture those underwater shots or use your G7 during inclement weather. Case also provides protection from sand, dirt and dust. It is depth rated as waterproof up to 130 feet. You van pick one up at Amazon for $119.00 but most dealers are charging about $155.00 to $180.00.

Ikelite's offering for the Canon G7 camera is an injected molded clear polycarbonate case. The housing offers a clear view of the camera's control functions and is depth rated to 200 feet. Installation is quick and simple. The O-ring seal can be checked visually through the clear housing. A release handle system allows for easy attachment and removal of SubStrobe mounting arms at the touch of a button. The housing is sized and weighted for nearly neutral buoyancy, offering superb handling underwater. The housing allows underwater photos to be taken with the built-in flash of the camera. An External Strobe is recommended to improve the images by reducing the illumination of particles suspended in the water. Prices range from $449.95 - $459.00.

The Ewa-Marine housing for this camera is the DCG-7. This waterproof digital camera case was designed by Ewa-Marine for the Canon PowerShot G7 / G9 digital cameras. It is depth rated to 33 feet. Ewa-Marine housings are perfect for snorkeling, shallow diving while offering protection from sand, dust, humidity or foul weather conditions. These affordable housings are long lasting and easy to maintain! Prices range from $155.00 to $170.00.

The Canon G series cameras have been real "troopers" and have made the rounds for years in oceans, lakes and pools. They are sold performers inside of the housings mentioned above. Being a Canon fan, I can think of no greater pleasure than to take a Canon G series camera with me on a dive, to capture those once in a lifetime memories.
