This waterproof camera case worked flawlessly, the pictures came out good, but I wasn't buying the case for picture quality. I was buying it to bring my camera underwater and in the water, which the case did an amazing job protecting my camera. I felt very confident brining it in the water and I was able to get pictures no one else had!!!

The addition of another lens type device alters your pictures slightly (it's like taking a picture out a window). But hardly noticeable. The lens part of the case blocks a portion of flash and is evident in the dark.

I recommend this case to anyone wanting to take pictures underwater or in a rainy/wet place (for me it was Costa Rica).

Thank you Canon for creating a great product accessory for my new Canon SD1000 Digit Camera. What a great concept and I must say, it's about time! Being a avid snorkeler and love for warm Hawaiian waters, I ordered the waterproof case for my SD1000 digital Canon camera through Amazon because of the great price. It arrived just days before our two-week Maui vacation! I took great underwater pictures with my Canon SD1000 while snorkeling in Maui and Lanai'i - green sea turtles, all kinds of tropical fish and plant life, but most of all, while snorkeling in Manele Bay, Lanai'i, I was able to get some great underwater photos of spinner dolphins just lying about on the bottom of the bay and spinning out of the water. Because I was able to utilize the zoom-in feature of my Canon SD1000, I was able to take some pretty great shots of the dolphins within 5 feet from me at the waterline and got a zoom-in shot of the 50-70 dolphins when they were just resting at the bottom of the bay (about 50-60 feet below me). No way could I have done this with a regular disposable waterproof camera. Mahalo (thank you) Canon, for making our Maui vacation a truly spectacular and memorable trip!

We just came back from a diving trip from Turks and Caicos. This is our first underwater case and we were inexperienced with underwater photography. We did 6 dives in around 40-60 feet with 70s water temperature, 40-100 feet visibility for diving and 10-50 feet visibility for snorkeling. We took around 100 photos per diving day. Out of all those photos we felt that about 100-200 were really perfect, but in large part that might be because of our inexperience.. We thought the camera was excellent though it has a learning curve. We had no problems with fogginess during these conditions but we set the camera in the case often 1-2 hours before the dive. Never had any leaks or problems but we were careful with the camera and never opened the case till it was thoroughly washed with fresh water. We found that it was better to leave the flash on and photos came out better when you were at least 2-5 feet away from the target though it did take some pretty awesome pananoramic pictures. Despite using the cameras' underwater setting photos came out bluish especially if the flash was not used or ineffective because of distance. We were very impressed and are not looking to upgrade as we were satisfied with photo quality.

I recently bought this waterproof case for my Canon SD1000 and I absolutely LOVE it!!! I debated over it because of the price- but being able to take pictures and video underwater of the kids is PRICELESS to me!! It is so much fun to take to a waterpark to and not have to worry about damaging my new camera!! We just went to Myrtle Beach and I got some great video of the waves splashing over us and in the pool. Another great thing is that on the beach I don't have to worry about getting sand in my camera lens as well!!

I just bought this case for a diving trip to the Dominican Republic...it worked AWESOME. pictures were clear and the case never leaked (we dove to 70 feet multiple times). Also works great to protect my digital camera during outdoor excursions like rock climbing and mountain biking. Highly recommend this case to anyone. Enjoy!
