Thanks Jan. No mention that the camera can be submerged even though it has an underwater mode. Is a waterproof case required?

[Rich Knoles]

Yes Matt, you have to use a housing, I believe Peter has the G8. That is what he took Bob Wyatt's WA Bonefish with. The G9 shots in RAW. I found the camera (G9) for $449. The housing is around $300. Rich

not too cheap. worth it for a recreational photographer like me?

compare to $300 for my current setup

[Rich Knoles]

I don't know about that Matt. I have the Optio WP 30. I was looking for some features that would allow me to do some things the Pentax won't do. And I was trying to get into something that didn't require me to enter into the DSLR world. I'm not nearly the photographer that Jan, Peter, Bob or lots of others are here. Just the occasional good fishing shot and my daughters sailing from on the water. Rich

The G9 takes a great frame, it's an awesome camera..

Since I bought my G9 I haven't used my SLR's very much. Takes brilliant pic's. All I have to do now is get out and get some fish (bloody weather). Here are some examples of converted RAW images from the G9

You can get the G9 underwater housing for $175 through Amazon. Tempting

Kakahi: excellent photos , and thanks to you for taking over the tutelage on AG...he is a fast learner, and a heck of a fly-fisherman and I enjoyed seeing some sequence photos of his first summer in NZ.

Hi Bee, I really enjoyed fishing with AG. The last day we fished together, the weather was against us. It was raining consistantly, we had a slow start to the day, and when we finally got onto the fish the river coloured up :glare: I feel like we have unfinished business, so I'm trying to temp him out into the wilderness a little

I payed 179 euros for the underwater housing.

Cheers,
Jeroen

Rich,

Where did you see that price for the G9? PM if you want or post in the clear.

[Jeroen]

I payed 439 euros for it, so it seems a reasonable price. Found one for $ 436 at a dpreview endorsed store. I don't know the store. The housing is $ 170

Cheers,
Jeroen

Adorama (the store Jeroen found) and B&H are the two most reputable photo gear stores in the US. Great prices and super service.

The G9 is a great camera. Have a feel of one in the shop.
Many protographers use them as a back up or in spaces where they have to be a bit more discrete.

Have a read of this before purchasing a camera. Theres more to cameras than Megapixels.

The only thing with the underwater housing is that when you wish to take a photo just on the surface that it tends to be not as good.

The waterproof cameras are great for those waterline shots. They provide a heap less bulk and weight.

Small nearby stream in the Fall. Nothing but small (6" max) Brook Trout found here.

Beautiful photo. What was the camera?
Having the ability to get an uncovered lense down to the water with a waterproof camera is a bonus.

Yes computers display differently from one to another. CRTs used to be the go for graphic manipulation though some of the glass screen LCDs may produce better results these days.

CRT 72 DPI
LCD 96 DPI
Print 360 DPI: Images really show up in print media.

Different printers will print differently to some extent.
Magazine editors in the past no the difference changing print shops.
Companies like HP were and may have achieved carrying metadata to different printers to get the same result from printer to printer.
