Here are some of my test shots with the Canon G16 + Ikelite housing. No strobe, no lens, no filter... because no budget tongue.gif 

My first U/W camera. Quite happy with the result. But I'll recommend to get Fantasea housing rather than Ikelite. Any feedback would be much appreciated.  thumbup.gif

Bleese, those photos r lovely captured, never expect those from a 1st uw shoot out...

Are u familiar with camera before this?

1st look n touch on those casing, Fantasea does stand out comparing to ikelite. But never try exploring further though tongue.gif

Hi guys,
I'm planning to Perhentian on this 31 May and I got 2 friends that would like to Discover Scuba.
Any recommendation for the DC at Perhentian and if possible they would like to have a local instructor, perhaps for easy to communicate...English hancur maybe smile.gif
Thanks

thank you! yeah, long live g16 biggrin.gif

Sure. Sure! No problems. Anyway, ur pictures looks good wey!

How I'm wish to have Ikelite as well but that may cost me RM3k plus the camera.

So far my setup only cost me RM1500 (G16, Sandisk Extreme 16G SDHC) and RM450 for the casing.

Wish list: coil spring adapter (not sure correct or not?!) RM39, Tovatec Flash Light plus Holder RM200. +10 close up filter 67mm at RM60. Extra Battery around RM60?

Limited budget >,<'

Can't wait to try out soon! I'm amaze with the camera macro!
*
Yup, got the camera for RM1500 and the Ikelite casing for RM1450. Still saving for strobes and lenses.

Battery life quite good. So far I did 3 dives without a problem. Not even half of the battery life is drained.

Let me know if you get any good close up lens. Yeah, the macro is awesome. Even after cropping a big part of the pic, the details are still there.

Thank you @b5n111 . Just learn by trial and error. Not really from the 1st shoot out, but 1st UW camera that I own. Hehe! Pictures from my first few dives are bad too. I practice shooting random things with the camera in the housing. Fantasea are better in many ways. The Ikelite casing gave me some minor problems already when I used it on my first dive. But their support staff was helpful enough and managed to have the problems solved.

Photos look awesome! Look forward to seeing more photos from you in the future biggrin.gif
I suck at taking wide angle photos, need to play around more with my camera haha.

Was using ikelite housing for G15 in the past, hate the buttons. Changed to Fantasea now and I'm loving the new housing. Plus the double oring and moisture detector, really worth it I would say. Hopefully it's durable too.
