After shooting with a Nikonos 35mm film camera for years, I finally decided to go digital. This case is easy to use and I had no leaks. It's slightly bouyant, which is a plus in my view. If you throw it in the water it will plunge downward and then slowly rise to the surface. The weight set (for me) is unnecessary. Picture quality was excellent. Now to the problems... The only time I shoot underwater is while snorkeling, mainly in the Caribbean. So, we are talking bright sun for the most part, and often coming from over the shoulder. And that can make seeing the LCD screen--and composing a shot--tough. It meant that at times I was 'pointing and hoping' rather than 'pointing and shooting,' especially if there was little contrast between the subject and the background. (It's impossible to use the camera's minuscule viewfinder as an alternative.) The other issue is that the thumb lever that controls the mode switch (auto, manual, video, etc.) is very easy to move inadvertently while simply gripping the camera--especially when diving to get a shot. I had to consciously recheck the position of the lever by feel before every shot--it would be great if the lever could be locked in position. That said, this is a quality product and I do not regret the purchase. I'm thinking, though, of trying to make a small hood to provide some coverage for the LCD...we'll see...Customer Review: the canon WP DC7 underwater case

after getting my wp dc7, i went straight to the nearest dive site, to test whether my case had no leaks....after greasing up the O-ring, iwent down for my first dive...perfect! no leaks! BUT one thing turned me off....the case is NOT neutrally buoyant!!! which means the case kept floating and got in the way whenever i would do some underwater manouvers....i can't see the logic of not making it neutrally buoyant...in the first place the manufacturers knwe from the start that this was to be used underwater....i know, you have accessories to go with it...."weights"....sheesh....i envy my friend who also had an underwater case for his camera from another company...it didn't need any weights to be able to make it stay in it's place(not float that is)...the case was excellent EXCEPT for that aspect, hope the manufacturers can do something about it....i mean, i bought this case expecting it NOT to stay afloat coz itt supposed to be an UNDERWATER case which means it has to stay underwater.....Customer Review: A very good product

This is the second Canon underwater case I own (the previous one was for the A540 camera). It performed as expected, except that this one did not come with an LCD hood, which is quite useful in bright conditions.
To avoid moisture forming on the inside of the lens port it is highly recommended to put a small bag of silica gel inside the case. Alternatively, if you keep the case in a dry environment (for example an air-conditioned room), and close it while still there, you will greatly reduce the amount of moisture inside the case.
