If you badly need to buy it...InfoMax in SM Cyberzones have both the G10 and DC28 housing.
Any chance you can give me a phone number for them?
Thanks.

she has the housing? cool... how much would you know?
the G10's easy to find... if you're in bohol just head to the local biggest mall (SM or BQ) and look for a canon or digital camera shop
if it's not there it's definitely in the canon shop in ayala or SM in cebu
shipping the housing to you from ellens would probably run to around 250 or so... 2-3 days via air21

The price at Infomax is 48,000+ for both camera & housing. I got mine for only 33,700 with 4 gig flash, bag, & tripod in Hongkong last January.

I have a quote for those items for a bit more than your Hong Kong price from a dealer in Manila. Even if I had to pay close to 48,000 it is cheaper than flying to Hong Kong and paying for a hotel.
My price may be for a gray market camera?

Many thanks to all of you for helping me out. I'm still in the ordering stages from one of the people whose name was given to me.
Some of the cameras are gray market and therefore priced lower. No Canon warranty.
Don't get me wrong on the Philippine gray market cameras because many of those camera dealers located in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn, New York are selling gray market cameras. I believe my Kodak pocket camera is one since it has no serial number on it.

i think some gray market sellers here also source their stocks from hongkong. some even carry warranties. check out sulit.com.ph and tipidpc.com

Import Duty? The Philippines has it. One of the reasons imported things cost more here.

ASAP as I have no gear at present.
Going to Manila from here is an option but not at the moment since I have to include the airfare in the product price.

Two of the three dealers given to me here are out.
One has a gray market camera and is out of stock.
The other wants about $1000. US Dollars for the camera and housing. Way too much compared to the USA price of around $650.
The third is still working with me and I hope to be successful.

Hi Gilligan,
Just my two cents,
G10 is a bit expensive camera. Invest a good housing for it because in underwater you rely on your housing. For what I know, Canon housings are not serviceable. You can try calling (02-7253631)Diver's Point or (0917-5259639)Splash Photography, I'm sure they can help you.

Thank you and I understand that. However the Canon housing is all that is available to me at a price that I am willing to pay in the Philippines. Imported products just cost too much here because of government import fees.
I will use it giving me practice with the camera until my next trip back to Maui at which time I'll decide on getting the Ike housing and true TTL strobe. If I do I can always sell the WP-DC28 housing. At least I will have a camera for the number of months I have here before my next trip back.
I should have my camera next week at which time I'll post where I got it and how helpful they were too me.

My Canon G10 and WP-DC28 housing arrived in Bohol today.
Many thanks to all of you for your assistance.
My special thanks to Ellen Chua at Diverspoint - Home (http://www.diverspoint.net/) for providing me with the camera and housing.
