Fantasea has just released their new housing for the Canon Powershot G16. Shock resistant, depth rated to 60m and a wide range of accessories make this housing a great option for those interested in taking the FG16 into the ocean.

Fantasea's housings are versatile and perform well as a basic camera or complete underwater camera rig. Beginners will find that the snap-on flash diffuser delivers great macro results without strobes. As a photographer grows then can add a macro or wide-angle wet lens, video lights, correction filters and strobes. The housing has two fiber optic ports making one or two strobe combos easy to set up and maintain.

Product Release: FG16 Housing for the Canon Powershot G16 Camera

The FG16 Housing, specially designed for the Canon G16, meets the same high and professional standards of function, style and durability as previously found in popular and successful Fantasea F series Housings (FG15, FP7100 and FP7000). It is ergonomically designed, fully functional and features easy-to-use, clearly labeled controls. This shock resistant housing protects your G16 camera from damaging elements including water, sand, dust, snow, ice and pollutants.

The FG16 has been successfully depth tested to 80 meters (240 ft.) and is certified to a maximum depth of 60 meters (200 ft.), which is well beyond the 40 meter (130 ft.) dive limit of most compact housings.

The FG16 Housing is supported by a complete accessory line, including wide angle and macro lenses. Additional accessories include a variety of color correction filters and lighting sets, which enable photographers to further enhance the quality of their images and videos.
