It works! July 3, 2008
It's hard to understand what it feels like to immerse your camera in water until you actually do it.
Of course, I followed the instructions and tested the case by putting it in the sink for 3 minutes (without the camera inside). And though the case showed no evidence of leaks, this didn't stop me from wondering "will my camera still work at the end of the day?" as I stepped into the pool. It also didn't stop me from freaking out the first time the camera did an auto-shutoff. "Oh my god! Is it broken?"
Of course, I'm just paranoid. The case does exactly what it says it does. I've used it for probably 4 hours underwater now, and my camera stays nice and dry. Being able to use all the camera's buttons when it's in the case is also a nice touch. It even has a tripod mount.
So, it works! That's about it. Costs half as much as the camera, but I wouldn't recommend taking your PowerShot into the pool without it.
Compact, durable housing for decent underwater pictures June 23, 2008
This housing works great for scuba diving depths as well as wet or muddy conditions above the water. I like the compact size. My only complaint is that when using the flash, the diffuser must be attached to the front of the housing--otherwise, part of the housing blocks the flash and the picture ends up half-shaded. The diffuser is awkward, especially underwater. In research situations like mine, where I am carrying multiple things (not just the camera), the diffuser can get knocked off. In high light conditions where the flash is not needed, I have no complaints.
 Excelent Case! June 4, 2008
This is a great addition to the Canon 870. I ma so glad that i took it with me on my trip to USVI. Very easy to use, does not distort the pictures at all. I went scuba and made movies and took pictures. Amazing!I used it on the beach, while hiking. The pictures were awasome.
The one thing that comes short is when you take a picure during the night ( the camera is in the case) there is a shade on the right side of the picture. Apparently the case somehow prevents the flash light to cover the whole area or something. However, I am not using the case for night picures so this does not bother me at all.
Great Underwater Pictures; No leaks! June 1, 2008
Purchased the underwater housing for snorkeling on vacation in the Maldives. I took the camera in and out of the housing a number of times and it never leaked. It definitely allows to you take great underwater pictures. I highly recommend this product and the camera if you want to take underwater pictures.
sophisticated product June 1, 2008
This underwater housing was purchased as a gift. They were pleased with it. We both thought it was quite a sophisticated and well thought out item. It appears to be well manufactured, so it should last for quite a few years.
