I've had water cases before and even a "water proof" camera but all of them have leaked. I went with this one because we have a sony camcorder and its waterproof case has never leaked so when I need to buy another camera I went back to the brand I trusted. I had a canon water proof case and it leaked when I turned one of the controls. I also had the olympus shockproof/waterproof camera and it to leaked. After 15 dives this one is still wonderful. I've gotten great pictures with the camera DSC WX1 and great video. Hints: always use the flash and never use the zoom just physically get as close as you can. It worked so well, better than my dads olympus that he is getting the camera and the case for his next snorkel trip.

I bought this camera housing along with the DSC-W230 about a month ago and have already put it through 13 dives. The case is a little bit large but it takes nice photos and doesn't leak. I've had it up to 139' and the only problem that I noticed was one of the buttons would push down due to the water pressure so it made it difficult to navigate the menu at that depth, but it still did take pictures.

I haven't used the flash much yet because it is halfway covered up by the lens port unless you use the included flash diffuser. I'm going to try out the flash w/diffuser (now that I tested it in the pool and know how it works) this weekend during my dives in the Red Sea.

I took it to the pool and it worked great, then I took it to the sea and took some pictures under water and they were also great. I did not go that deep, but it protected my camera from getting wet. I took nice pictures of my kids!!!
