Hi there,

I have been seeking some affordable housing for my G3. It seems that only
Ikelite (www.ikelite.com) and Uwe Klein (www.uk-germany.com) makes housing
for that camera. Only problem is that those housings costs almost double
than G3 camera itself .

Have any one of you found some reasonable priced housing for G3?

that's not uncommon. those things aren't supposed to be for the
casual user. Ewa Marin e is another brand: http://www.ewa-marine.de/

How true. The housing for my Minolta Maxxum cost over $600, by the time I
purchased the substrobe (which you will also need to purchase because the
strobe on the camera is not powerful enough) and different port attachements
I spent between $1500 and $2000, and the camera costs quite a bit less than
that now. I just got a housing for my $400 digital camera, it cost $520.
Both housings are from Ikelite. You are paying to keep the camera dry and
usable underwater. I'd say it is worth the investment.
