| User Reviews |  | Excellent product. Highly recommend rating: 5
Like any dive equipment, if you take care of it and use it properly, it will last you a long time and work great. That is particularly true of this item. I used it last month in Cancun and came up with awesome pictures. You have to take care of it though. Make sure there is no sand or hair in the o ring and that you get a good seal. My practice was I would prep the camera in my hotel prior to leaving and then leave it in the case until I was off the boat. That way I made sure everything stayed clean and dry. This is not a professional piece of equipment though. You can't attach strobes and other fancy things. Just good old snap and shoot. Great overall product.

Airtight and functional! rating: 5
With this product, I took amazing photographs with my SD500 camera while diving in Fiji. The flash diffuser worked very well, and the camera remained airtight, with my camera well protected within the case. I never worried. You must follow the directions, but it will be worth it. Far cheaper than buying a dedicated underwater camera.

AWESOME rating: 5
I just used this thing in Hawaii and took some amazing underwater photos. It also helps to set your camera to "underwater" mode because it compensates for all of the blue colors and makes your images show up a lot better. I took such good underwater pictures that I was able to blow up a photo of sea turtel to 8x10 and it looks great.
Never buy one of those crappy disposable underwater cameras and get yourself one of these that you can use forever.

Consider this insurance for your camera rating: 5
I love this case! I bought it 2 years ago (summer 05) for shooting underwater, which it works great for, but I had no idea how much I would use it above water too. Digital cameras are just so fragile, and I do a lot of outdoor stuff so this offers it so much protection from sand and rain and splashing. So just hanging out on the beach or going out on a boat paddling or fishing, or out in the rain, I use this case and if it falls in the water, no big deal. Also makes your camera float. So 2 years later my digital camera is still in mint condition even though I've taken it everywhere. Of course the waterproof case is big, so if I'm just going to a wedding or something, I can stick my litle camera in my pocket without the big case.

big step up for underwater photography rating: 5
just got back from st martin and a week of daily snorkeling. the case worked flawlessly. put on the silicon the first day, just touch-ups on the days that followed and waalaa. incedible ease of use, all functions available. used sd ultraII 2gb card and had plenty of room for videos, beautiful videos of fish swimming and fellow snorkelers amongst the fishes. disposible underwater cameras should be removed from the shelves as worthless compared to the canon set-up. only bad thing was everyone wanted to use the camera after seeing the downloaded pictures from day one--clear even when blown up on 17 inch screen.
