I was riding back from the Dry Tortugas and the guy next to me had a G9 with a waterproof case. We started talking. I've got a few cameras and I use them for taking shots while kayak fishing. I have a self portrait mount on the front of the kayak where I put an Olympus 720SW. It works but I'm not thrilled with the quality of the shots. I use the Xti to take pictures of others and the main reason I got it was to have greater control over pictures and for the faster shutter speed to freeze fish jumping. Before that I was using a Kodak Easyshare and while I liked the quality of the pics the speed is simply to slow to freeze action. Plus neither has RAW and I write magazine articles and am doing a book.
I keep the Xti in a Otter box and its bulky and obviously since the camera isn't waterproof I can't use it in all situations.
I'm wondering if the G9 in the waterproof case will work. Obviously I can use it on the front mount using the self timer. The 1.5 fps should be fast enough. I'd only need to carry 1 camera and I can shoot pics in inclement weather where I wouldn't think of using the Xti.
