Great product for underwater photography
We took our new waterproof case on a trip to Mexico, where it got great use when we snorkled or just relaxed on the beach. Very easy to use, and put our minds at ease regarding getting sand in our Powershot.
Good Value
I bought this case and used it on a week of snorkeling in the islands. Although it takes some time & practice to shoot photos while swimming around
the reefs, the photos I brought home wouldn't have been possible without it.
Also, this case allows you to use your camera in other wet or dirty conditions without fear of damage.
It also works with my Canon A95.
Great for some shots.
The case is well designed and laid out, expect for one major exception, The view finder is blocked and unusable. You must frame your pictures via the LCD, which while snorkeling is difficult if pointing the camera down to take a picture.
We bought this to use on our trip to the Turks and Caicos, as it was used for a older A80 camera that is no longer our primary camera.
We took about 100 pictures, most had to be taken while guessing what was in the frame.
A few rare times we were able to aim in a more horizontal direction (as opposed to down with sun glare making the LCD usless) and those pictures were great. Definitely constructed well, but overall usability was OK.
