I bought this camera housing for our trip to the Caribbean for some diving at Bonaire and Aruba. It worked great and I ended up with photos of sunfish, octopus, and coral galore. It was water tight down to 70 feet (probably deeper if I had gone deeper, but it is dark down there). I fellow traveler who had done underwater photography before could not believe it was my first time taking pictures while diving. I would probably add a strobe flash next time I go (because it is dark down there), but my little flash with the diffuser did quite a great job. Only problem was with the digital lag. I got a lot of pictures of fish leaving the frame.

We got this as last-item sale, on a wonderful promotion. When the item arrived, the box was busted and it was cracked on the hinge, and we were really afraid of using it under the water in that condition... but the construction was so incredible, the buttons worked so well, everything seemed to be so prime material and build... and we are so crazy and brave... we stuck our camera inside the case and off we went! And... it worked beautifully, even under 45 meters!!!! We took great pictures, inside and outside of the water (because we didn't want to open the case without washing it well, like the instructions say). It has no difference between with and without case; perfect photos every time! I have added a couple photos here for you guys to see! One is a sun set, one is me under water, and the other is my fiancee!
