This well-designed case allows you access to almost all the functions of the camera---zoom, video, auto and manual settings. The camera is able to take superb pictures even with overcast skies. We lubricate the gasket, as recommended, each time, and have had no leaks. The picture quality possible with a good camera like the powershot S80 and a waterproof case so far exceeds that of disposable underwater cameras (I usually manage one decent shot/camera) that there is no comparison. Since you can take as many photos and videos as you want, and see them immediately on the monitor, you know whether you got the shot you wanted. We took some neat photos half above the water and half below. A flash diffuser spreads light from the flash, so that you get even light when you shoot that lobster hiding under the rock.

As usual Canon has produced a quality product matched perfectly to a great camera. I have had this camera down to 100 ft. without a problem. I think this camera/case combo is one of the best you will find without spending over $1000 bucks and many much more expensive units can't match it's performance.

My only complaint is that the multi funtion wheel on the back of the camera is not accessable when in the case so you cannot use most of the manual funtions that require use of the wheel. Like manual focus and adjusting the flash, exposure comp. and white balance. This is a major consideration for the prosummers out there.

I've used the camera for snorkerling, and as protection down the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon last summer. It's one of those purchases that I really feel gives me my money's worth; I would buy it again in a heartbeat. The case is very durable, and fits neatly in a standard pelican case. Unfortunately, the camera's wheel control cannot be manipulated while inside the case. This problem with the wheel control is minimal, and can generally be avoided with a little planning. The wheel control is the only reason I don't give this case 5 stars.
