With any housing it would be wise to test it prior to diving with it.

I just dug out my old G7 camera that I should have taken to a camera shop to get looked at. One day it just quit turning on. Push the power button and nothing happens. Nothing happened to it. Anyone know if by chance there is an easy fix to this problem???

As for RAW, if you purchase a new Canon camera, the software that comes with it includes Digital Photo Professional that will handle RAW processing.

Hmm, I didn't know Canon housings had any issues. I'm not aware of DicaPac having any issues either though. Hehe

I'm a cheap @$$, I've never bought a camera new. I always buy them off Kijiji because I'm also very good at killing them. I will look for the software.

RAW is time consuming but worth it, and not that tough to learn. Just get out and start trying different stuff... only way to figure it out!

raw can be no different than using jpeg if you buy a image program that can deal with it nativly. I use photo shop and it upens and edits raw the same way as it does a jpeg then you just save it as a jpeg. now I imagine if I did all manual corections it might be a little different but I find the auto corect is more than good enough for 99.9% of pictures.

Thanks Steve, I've heard Photoshop is good for RAW, but I don't have Photoshop.

I would choose adobe lightroom over the full version of photoshop. Lightroom has most of the "developing" capability that photoshop has (it's missing advanced photo-editing stuff) and has an incredibly powerful organisational feature.

Lightroom is also SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than the full version of photoshop... you can try it free for a month if you download it through adobe's website.
