Patima PDCH-G10 for Canon PowerShot G10 (10-01-2009)

Patima has released an underwater housing for the Canon PowerShot G10 digital camera.

The PDCH-G10 housing has a sensitive shutter release and all levers, dials, buttons are designed to be used easily. It allows control over all G10 functions when under water. It is depth rated to 120 meters.

The housing comes with two ports: an exclusive wide angle port which allows for attaching an optional 67mm threaded wide conversion lens and a basic port that can also be used to attach a 67mm threaded close-up lens. The lens of the camera must be fixed to maximum when using the wide angle port, so it is not possible to vary the zoom.

A Nikonos 5-pin bulkhead is located at the side and a fiber-optic cable adapter is located at the front of the housing, so both slave and bulkhead synchronization is supported. A 6-pin connector for TTL compatibility with the Speedlite 580EX, 580EX2 and SunPak flashes is available as an option.

More G10 cases can be found on the Canon PowerShot G10 underwater housings page.
