This is a cool setup.
Canon G11 is a really good camera

Dude that’s a pretty wild setup. I’ve been looking at getting some version of a “really nice” point and shoot for a while, just can’t decide between leica and canon.

I use a Canon G7 in a WP-DC11 waterproof case. It works generally well, but is much more bulky than say an Olympus P&S. I also share the issue with keeping droplets (& salt) off the lense. I also find there is a delay in the Canon G7 Shutter. When at sea and I am levelling a shot against the horizon, and press the shutter – often the kayak has moved enough to lose the horizontal aspect of the shot as a result of the delay. Of cours I prefer my Nikon D90 – but too scared to get it wet.

Marek,

I got a G11 and it’s waterproof housing a couple of months ago, just before a month-long trip to the southern US. I’m very pleased with both. The housing works flawlessly – all the buttons and levers work, and controlling the camera is easy. The one problem is the lack of a lens cap to keep water drops off the lens glass. I carved on of mini-cell foam and put a lanyard on it. It does a good job of keeping water out.

You can see some of the photos on http://geezersgosouth.blogspot.com/

Almost all the photos were done with the G11 (a few with a Pentax K10 and long lens). Anything on the water was shot using the housing.

Have you tried the new W90 yet? I’m still looking for a pocket waterproof with really good image quality. The W60 I tried did not do the job.

Best, Alan

I wonder if anybody is using Canon PowerShot Gxx camera for paddling, especially, with a waterproof housing. What is your experience? Of course, I wouldn’t be able to use my timer controler with a waterproof case unless I would to do some serious modifications.
