More is not enough
Hello!
Yes, I'm using it, but almost onyl for submarine use, because I prefer my DSLR for "terrestrial use". The G9 waqs my choice when I bought submarine equipment, because I didn't have the money for a DSLR housing, and I really don't regret it, it's really good for being a point and shoot, and very useful under water!
I even use it for subaquatic pictures of my tank, lol, using the housing in the tank itself, it's really useful!
As for the gear itself, it's a good camera, except for two things (to my opinion): the autofocus is quite slow, and the white balance needs to be corrected quite often, it's not really accurate if you use it for the tank, the aquarium lights must be too weird for the sensor, lol!
But it still a good camera, one of the best on the "point and shoot" market.
For the pics, you can see for example my recent dive trip to Australia, but it's a very specific use, so I don't know if I can show you a lot for everyday use...
