you can check the photos that i took with canon s45 and this housing. It works brilliant. I just tested in 10meters. also there are supported extra lenses for this housing (macro,wide)..
Waterproof Case [Posted on 2005-08-23]
The camera exceeded my expectations. Some people stated in the customer reviews their camera case leaked and ruined the digital camera which made me hesitate to purchase. I read other people reviews stating you must follow the instructions to ensure a watertight seal and which I made sure I followed. The camera took some beautiful underwater pictures while I was snorkeling in Hawaii. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to take some underwater pictures. My wife only complaint is I took too many underwater pictures and filled the memory card. Just make sure you follow the directions and you will not run into any problems.
Great Case [Posted on 2005-10-06]
I just got back from Maui, it was the first time I had used this case and it worked perfectly. Great pictures snorkling and when it's raining. No problems what so ever.
Works GREAT, but..... [Posted on 2007-05-19]
Works superbly and is completely water tight. Took it down to 90+ feet and had no issues whatsoever. Fit my camera and everything worked like a charm. To those that had issues with fogging, read around. I never used the anti fog and never had an issue but I read around and saw that people were taking the silica gel from dry goods and putting it into the enclosure with the camera and that fixes any moisture that gets in which also prevents fog. I did have fogging after one dive because I had to open the case to swap out the battery which caused moisture from my semi wet hands to leak in. Before I went down on second dive 30 minutes later, fog cleared up and no more moisture.
PROS-
-Works superbly (aka does what it was designed for)
-Fits camera great
CONS-
-Actually I'll start out with a knock on the camera but it is VERY relevant to this enclosure. I have S50 and it does NOT have underwater mode. Colors gets completely lost without a flash or if subject is too far away. That said, spend the extra bucks and get a different camera that has underwater mode and the enclosure that goes with it. FYI, the SD line has Underwater mode.
-Cannot turn camera off once it is inside enclosure. This wastes TONS of battery power. Had to constantly swap out batteries after every dive.
-Button graphics on camera hard to see with enclosure on. You MUST memorize and know what buttons does what before placed into enclosure.
Conclusion
If you are just going snorkeling and won't go below 15', this is an idea solution. Color loss isn't bad at all at that depth and photoshop can bring back any color lost. Also this is an idea solotion if you have a camera that fits this enclosure and can't afford a better camera. Again I have to mention my suggestion that if you have the money, go with a camera that supports underwater mode instead then buy the enclosure that fits it even if you are just snorkeling.
