Customer Review: Near Perfect Underwater Case
Summary: 4 Stars
Went to French Polynesia and the Cook Islands for a 10 day cruise, and by far this case for my SD800 was the smartest purchase I made. My pictures and videos underwater were fantastic, no leaks or problems at all. People using the underwater film cameras sold onboard the ship got murky-looking lousy prints back. The only gripe I have is that to properly use the flash, you must attach a diffusor to the exterior of the housing. When I'm snorkeling or diving, I've got enough to keep track of, so I opted not to bring it. If you DO use the flash anyway, you get uneven illumination. Seems like they could have designed it differently. One other thing, and it's not Canon's fault- with a mask on, it can be very difficult to see the LCD screen underwater. I often had to "guess" what I was shooting, but the results were stunning!Customer Review: A perfect fit

This underwater camera housing fits the Canon SD 800 IS like a glove. All housing parts precisely manipulate the camera's butons, levers and wheels. The pictures are clear and distortion-free. I'm no longer worried my camera will take a dump when I'm in my kayak and become inoperable. Awesome housing. Only complaints: the housing's seal is impossible to get out of the groove to be able to apply the recommended moisture protectant; the light diffuser is a bit hard to take off the housing's lens protector once you've put it on; the housing is pretty bulky, so, your goal of carrying around a small camera is delusional; and, the price of the housing is nearly as much as the price of the camera....so....hope that your camera doesn't break anytime soon because the housing only fits the SD 800 IS !Customer Review: Works as advertised

I purchased this case for our recent trip to Cabo San Lucas. I spent alot of time looking at cheaper, generic cases, but was afraid to entrust my camera to oversized ziploc bags. I decided spending the extra money for an "official" case would be worth it, if merely for the peace of mind.
The included documentation made it easy to figure out how to use the case properly. All the normal functions and buttons were accessible through the case, and the photo quality remained excellent even when shooting through the case. My main issue with the case was that it is quite bulky and made the camera not so "pocketable". Other than that, great item if you want to extend the functionality of your SD800.

The product worked really well. Very very easy to use. Perfect control of all the buttons. You will have to turn up the screen brightness all the way to be able to see the lcd underwater. I had a little trouble with the flash diffuser cord floating int the way, but if you remember to hold it that should be fine. The only other trouble was when selecting play, picture, manual picture, video, etc you couldn't actually see the key so you had to count from the top when spinning the selector.Customer Review: Good Product
