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...

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!

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

I recently took my Camera on a trip to Hawaii and kauai. I was extremely cautious with the camera and never took it out of the housing for the entire trip. At this point I only snorkel so most of the photos I took were from the surface and the quality was great. I would recommend the Canon underwater housing to any snorkeler. I also was very happy with the Company I bought it from.

Fits Perfect and Great Quality. Exactly what Manufacture Recomends.

Very disappointed with this item. I have had my Canon Powershot A70 for many years and have never had a problem except for the CCD lens issue which Canon fixed for free. I was going to Aruba and wanted to take some nice underwater snorkeling pictures so I bought the WP-DC700 after reading positive reviews about it online. I read all of the instructions carefully and then tried it out. I made sure that the seal was intact and on its first use it was - OK. The pictures looked lousy, as mentioned in other reviews you can't really see the LCD screen underwater so you just have to point, shoot, and pray.

I washed the seal off, cleaned the case, put the silicone grease on, and tried it again the next day. This time - disaster. After 5 minutes I realized the case had completely filled up with water. The camera was totally ruined. I do not recommend this case to anyone.
