It is really difficult to see the LCD through the plastic while underwater. Also, my camera has a knob switch which is difficult to adjust within the case. In the end, the case provided me with several good underwater shots, and plenty of sub-par shots. Great alternative for the traveler who doesn't want to carry a dedicated camera or hard-shell case.

I got this for my Canon S400 that I wanted to take snorkeling. The seal system worked well - no leakages. It was a bit difficult to maneuver the camera into the case and sometimes changed the camera mode setting (the S400 has the dial type). Once it was in the case, it was difficult to change that particular setting button. Lastly, you have to make sure when turning on the camera that the zoom lens is positioned right at the hole. Sometimes, the ring of the case would get in the way of a shot (on the edges). You can rectify that by taking slightly wider shots so that you can crop it away. All that said, these are all pretty minor issues. This product was great to have and I think we got better shots than we would have with disposable underwater cameras because we had the flash function. Also didn't have to worry about getting sand in the camera when playing on the beach.
