I am willing to buy the new G12 but Canon did not come up with a new underwater housing for it.
(There is an underwater housing for G11 - the WP-DC34)
Here is the tricky part...
I have emailed the canon email support team - they werent clear but they said WP-dc34 is also compatible w/ G 12...
However, the G12 has a new dial on the front ??? I asked they said there is a way for using the dial without touching the dial ?!?! : )
anybody have any idea?

Perhaps they meant that you can get to the same settings using other buttons.

You could also look at an Olympus epl1 + housing for a total of about $1000. That way you'll end up with dslr quality at a similar price.

yes true, but Ive asked people who sell these items... some say the exact, some say the opposite.... Even canon cant make it clear, its just confusing...

So the housing is quite a bit more than for the G11, but the camera is around the same price as the G12. So overall its going to cost more, but I think you get DSLR performance out of this size sensor in a format that's better for underwater photography.
