I used this with a canon powershot A80 and a samsung digimax S85. Both cameras fit and the bag kept them bone dry during a week long snorkelling excursion.

I got some great underwater videos but there were limitations to using this model bag with two smallish telescoping zoom cameras. As previously noted there were issues wih the zoom lense opening, so I too McGyver'd up a hotel styrophome cup into a zoom protector. This did fix the zoom lense opening, but the problem is still that wrinkles in the plastic distort the image. Underwater it is also difficult to view the LCD screen through the plastic so most of the time its just point-n-pray. On my cameras it was also sometimes difficult to know if I had clicked the button to take a picture / start a video.

The pictures without the wrinkled lense were of remarkable clarity, and the videos were even better. About 50% of the pictures came out nice, and probably 80% of the video clips. The plastic was pliable enough to make hitting the buttons and switching the dials on the camera no problem.

In hindsight I realize the bag wasn't designed for my cameras though and I wish I wasn't so cheap and spent a little more money on the 420 model which has a fixed lense holder.

We have a relatively small camera, but this was a bit too snug. We also have a telescopic lens that comes out a bit when you open the camera. Having the bag in front of it stopped the camera from working. I know there are slim camera that do not have the lens that comes out that would probably work with this bag, just not ours. We are now using for an iphone bag.

Bought this for use at White Water waterpark in Branson, MO last summer. Worked very well for our personal camcorder, could operate the buttons and it kept everything dry. Great product!

I purchased this for my Canon SD990 IS camera. However, when I turn the camera on and the lens protrudes from the body of the camera, sometimes there is not enough room in the bag to allow the camera to function, therefore making the camera inoperable. Also, if you have a wheel on your camera that you need to use to change settings on your camera, it is hard to do this adjustment when the camera is in the waterproof pouch. Perhaps the pouch works best with a fairly simple camera without a lot of zoom and buttons for changing settings. I think I'll be checking out waterproof cameras instead of buying waterproof camera bags.

My digital camera has 4X optical zoom so the lens sticks out. The first time I tried the case the lens was blocked, but it was easy to adjust the case to fit the extended lens. I haven't tried it underwater, but my test photos on land came out clear. I'm guessing that I'll have to be careful to not scratch the clear plastic. I'm real pleased to be able to use my regular camera underwater.
