Camera Case

(4 out of 5) by John D. Fairley Rn on Nov 19, 2008 (Florida)
Quality product! I think the price was a little high considering its just a case. I've used it 5 times taking it to 93 feet at the deepest and not a drop of water or condensation inside. It would be nice if I could read what buttons are for what on the back of the case but the letters are clear and its hard to see underwater. My camera is new too so I'm not totally familiar with the buttons yet.

Canon SD880 IS plus WP-DC26 performed flawlessly

(5 out of 5) by Woody the Diver on Jan 2, 2009
I purchased Camera and Housing for a trip to the BVI. Dove to 77 feet and no leaks or condensation. All the buttons worked. The only issue is the wheel can't be turned in the housing. To use underwater mode select it before you close the case. Then you can switch between movie, auto and underwater modes with the top sliding switch. I don't believe the weights are needed, slight positive bouyancy is ok. Large screen assists with composition. I got the best shots by turning the flash to always on. I used a little anti fog on the case lens and no problems.

Great waterproof case

(5 out of 5) by J. B. Scharf on Dec 22, 2008 (Long Island, NY)
Real simple. This case does what it is supposed to do, keep water out! It is made quite well. The materials used appear to be of a high quality. Operation of all buttons, switches, and knobs work without effort and are consistant in function.
I just got back from a trip to Bonaire (32 dives) and this case worked flawlessly. No leaking including 2 dives down to 110'.
Well done Canon. I didn't think it would be any different!

Great Investment

(5 out of 5) by K. Douglas Weaver II on Apr 28, 2009 (Knoxville, Tn)
I was skeptical at first about paying so much for something I would use probably so little. You have to keep in mind, how much was your camera? Are you willing to gamble an inferior product to the safety of your camera investment just to save a few bucks? My camera is worth what I paid for and this will protect it from the water, sand (most people don't think the blowing sand getting in nooks and crannies,not to mention salt water mist!), or just any outdoor environment.

I have also read some reviews that you can NOT change modes once the case is on.
****** IF YOU READ YOUR MANUAL YOU WOULD KNOW THIS IS POSSIBLE!!!*****
Just hold the print button, while pressing the left or right on the 'scroll wheel' buttons. Works perfectly.

I love this product and recommend for anyone with the cameras that fit these. I also got to witness before, during, and after with this case and other cases from cheaper price points from a recent diving trip. This one hands down.

High quality UW case offers full camera functionality

(5 out of 5) by Frank W. Schieber Jr. on Apr 13, 2009 (Orlando, FL)
This impressive underwater camera case has optical quality plate glass for the lens. All of the camera's buttons, switches and functions can be accessed via good-sized buttons. It also comes with a clip-on transluscent flash diffuser which works nicely above and under water.
