5.0 out of 5 stars This housing rocks!!!, March 17, 2004

My max depth so far has been 110'. The underwater shots are awesome. The only recommendation would be to get an external strobe. The built-in flash tends to light up any particulate matter in the water. Otherwise, this case with the A60 is "the cat's meow". I have a charter operation and this camera goes to the bottom everytime I do. I've been posting pics up on my website (http://www.scuba-charters.com/captainslog.html) and this is the perfect combo. The only drawback is that you'll want more. I'm already looking at the new Canon S1 IS. Caution: This is very addictive...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Underwater Camera Housing!!!, October 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Canon Waterproof Case WP-DC700 for Powershot A60 & A70 (Electronics)

I just returned from using my underwater housing for the first time. Max depth for me was 100 ft. Housing worked GREAT! Easy to use.....

Photos up to 40 ft. were perfectly clear. I did not have an external strobe, so the deeper I took it the darker the photos got. But the deeper photos cleaned up beautifully with Dell's Image Expert. Will try the external strobe on my next trip!

1.0 out of 5 stars Customer Service ripped me off on this one, November 2, 2003

I purchased this underwater case for my A70 and followed the directions exactly, oiling the gasket and cleaning it after each use. It leaked and ruined my month old camera. Customer service was rude, blamed me and then tried to bargain with me to fix it for $190 instead of the $280 that they initially requested. The underwater case has a 7 DAY WARANTY and the camera is not covered for water damage. My father had a similar problem with his $1000 Nikon digital which just stopped working for no aparent reason, they claimed it was water damage and tried to bargain with him to buy a rebuilt one for $500. So beware of bad customer service. Canon's customer service has all bad unreasolved reviews at the Better business Bureau
