This is a wonderful tool to have for this camera. I love my Sony camera but my husband thinks it is too small for him to hold without putting fingerprints all over the screen. He likes using this because it makes the camera easier to hold without the fingerprints. I took it to the beach and didn't worry about sand and water getting in my camera, either.

I took my camera to Hawaii with the intention of bringing it swimming, kayaking, snorkeling and it worked like a charm. Clear, sharp pictures without leaking one bit of water. I used it in salt water and had it submerged for at least 15 minutes at a time swimming in the Pacific. You have to grease to lubriate the rubber sealing ring and follow the directions carefully in order for it to be leakfree. It comes with a tube of grease for the rubber seal, and anti-fog solution that you rub onto the lens. And you have to make sure the seal is in good condition (not twisted, and completely dust free). You also have to soak the case in the sink for 30 minutes after exposure to salt water. I guess you should buy new seals periodically if you detect any moisture inside. I like the strap and it comes with a buoy to keep the camera from sinking if it falls into the water.

Iit has every control duplicated perfectly and you can operate the camera just as well as if it was wasn't in the case. The zoom, menu, cursor, camera modes, power, image stabilization off, external buttons are all accessible. I took movies as well as pictures.

I think this is a better solution than buying a camera that is waterproof (e.g Pentax W20). You have a ultra small camera out of the case but a tough dunkable camera when you need it.

Sony makes it very clear that it is not responsible if water does leak in, but so far, the thing works well.

I am a dedicated digital SLR user. When I purchased my first "point and shoot" (Sony DSC T10) it was because I wanted to take it underwater with me when I snorkel. This casing is excellent, easy to use and reliable so far. You have full camera capablity underwater. I highly recommend this as an inexpensive way to get great underwater pics!

After reading the reviews on here I was a little hesitant about it's high maintenance care, but you just need to follow some simple directions and it should give you plenty of life.
It's amazing how functional the camera is with the case on. Every button and feature can be used (except infrared sensor, which must be turned off) even the flash shines threw the opaque cover that sits in the case.

Loved the case for protecting my camera while skiing one of the best days of my life, now I got the pictures to prove it.

Looking forward to testing it out underwater.

My camera was stolen before I ever got a chance to test this thing out. But it looks and feels well constructed. Every camera button is represented on the case with its own button. Would highly recommend based on construction.
