I got this DiCAPac WP-410 for my Panasonic DMC-ZS3.

When the camera extends it's lens, the extension on the DiCAPac is not quite long enough, so the camera motor has to push against the inside of the case and create more space for itself. Not ideal. I fixed this by attaching some foam inside the case that pushes against the front of the camera body and create the needed space. I also put some foam in the end so when it is closed tight, the camera does not have room to shift.

The kit included a rubber ring with the words "UP-RING for Zoom Extension" which was shown in the directions to be mounted inside the case where the camera's lens extends. This exacerbates the problem and does not allow the camera to fit at all. Do not use it with the DMC-ZS3.

The only other minor challenge is the sliding on/off switch is difficult to move through the plastic.

Once you sort out the fit, the case performs as advertised. Even with these challenges, it is great for the beach, river, or snow. I would not, however, trust it for submerged use.

Well worth the low price compared to a SCUBA housing that is about the same price as the camera.

I love this product. It's great that it's in my price range and functional too. The seel worked great without any issues. We took it snorkling in salt water, and also took swimming pool shots. It is not rated for SCUBA diving, and somtimes the lense casing shifts a bit and gets included in the framing of the picture. Otherwise, it was a the exactly what I was looking for. I did not want to spend $200+ for a custom case for my camera (as I may get a new one one day), nor did I have the expendable funds to do so. This is a great product.

Be warned, the case does not actually fit for the Panasonic TZ10. TZ10 has a bigger lens diameter so the front rubber piece don't actually fit around it. For just taking picture in rainy times it should work fine (going to wait for a rain storm to try it out ;p). The plastic is really clear and the silicone section is where the important buttons are.

But do NOT zoom. I repeat, do NOT zoom! The TZ10 has a super zoom capability which was the reason i bought it but this bag actually caused my camera to shut down! Was afraid it ruined my camera but after shutting off, taking it out of the bag and turning it on again, I was relieved my camera still works ok. So, be warned :p

I purchased this case for my Panasonic LUMIX DMC-ZS10 camera. I took a few underwater shots of my kids swimming and the pictures came out surprisingly well (see photo above). What I really love about this case is that it's perfect for taking your camera to the beach because it keeps the sand out. You can still take great photos above water without taking the case off (just be sure to make sure there's no water on the case in front of the lens). The Cons: with the LUMIX model I have, you have to fidget around with lining up the lens just right so that it can extend properly into the case's lens slot. It's also a bit tricky to turn the camera on and off with the case on, but that's a small price to pay for such an inexpensive aqua case.

I had my doubts but it really worked. We put my wifes older camera in just in case but it kept everything out. It really came in handy on the beach because it keeps the sand out also. It does take a little adjustment to keep the extending lens from hitting the sides but the plastic sucks to the lcd display so that keeps it from moving.

The enclosure works, but it is difficult to work with. The lens doesn't go in and out easily for focusing. Also the buttons, such as on, off, is difficult. It does work, but I can't recommend it.

Too bad you can't enter a comment w/o a star review... chose 4 stars because it seems like it would work well if it had fit (durability, etc.).
Despite being one of only a few waterproof cases that return for a search of "'waterproof case' 'DMC-TZ5,'" this does not fit. The packaging doesn't list this camera model, and it physically doesn't fit inside.

the case is water-proof and sand-proof. However, it does not fit my camera well. One has to constantly adjust the position of the camera inside the bag to take picture.

Didn't fit any of my cameras, even though they were mentioned in the list. And it was hard to get camera in and out (plastic on plastic).
