Ok, so I get back from three dives on the North Shore of Molokai (which were amazing) and I have the same question. The only thing is, my camera flooded in the camera bucket, so at least there is no salt water. But it did flood about 1/2 the housing (my camera was swimming). So my question is which of the 3 do I do.
1) Try and dry it out (obviously) and if that doesn't work, try to get it fixed (is this possible?).
2) Buy the same camera. Since I have the Canon A640, I think I'd have to buy a used camera. 3) Use this as an excuse to get that sexy new G9 plus the housing.
Thing is, I'd kind of be stoked about getting the G9 if I didn't like my camera, but the A640 worked plenty well for what I'm capable of now. So I can buy a used one for about $200, or spend approx $700 for the G9 and housing. That extra $500 could be used to buy that new Suunto D4 when it comes out or for a wreck course (which I'm going to take anyway), or for something else I don't need but really really want.
Any thoughts?
By the way, how does insurance work. Can I get it on stuff I buy off eBay?
