It's cheap - about US$200 - and it suits my needs. I do mostly macro work, so the weak flash is not a problem. In fact, I seldom use flash at all. I shoot everything in the RAW mode and use the Adobe Camera Raw filter to open files in Adobe Bridge. Then you can adjust hue and colour temperature and a zillion other things before you open in Photoshop. Getting back to the housing, I'm impressed that you can access any camera control. It has only a single o-ring, like the factory housing for the G9. Therefore maintenance and care of the o-ring seal is crucial. I clean the o-ring and seats every time and I examine it carefully with a strong magnifying glass before closing the case. It's amazing how often I find some big chunk of dust or a hair there right after I cleaned everything. It's a great housing/camera combination that usable in one hand and, for close shots, can't be beat. That's my opinion and I think that the shots that I'm getting prove it.
