New Patima housings for Canon G9 and Sigma DP1

Patima has announced two new compact cameras underwater housings. the Patima DPCH-G9 for the Canon G9 and the Patima DPCH-DP1 for the Sigma DP1. Patima is one of the few manufacturers still constructing compact camera housings. Both housing are depth rated to 120m which is far more than compared to their polyacrylic "brothers", which usually are only depth rated to 40m. The use of all camera functions is possible with both housing. They also feature a fiber-optic cable adapter to connect a slave flash and a Nikonos 5-pin bulkhead. A 6-pin connector for TTL compatibility with the Speedlite 580EX, 580EX2 and SunPak flashes is available as an option.
