 More about the camera than the case... November 4, 2008

I bought this case for use on a recent scuba trip to the Great Barrier Reef. I had used the Canon S500 with Canon's case for that model in the past. Even though the SD600 is a newer camera, it did not perform as well as the older S500.
The main problem with the SD600 for underwater photography is its poor performance in low light. In low light, the SD600 will automatically engage its higher ISO settings even in "manual" mode, and the results are just way too noisy. Anything over ISO 250 is pretty much unusable. The S500 had a much more limited ISO range, so it would use other parameters to account for low light. For the S500, that might mean the shutter times were longer on average or that there was a heavier dependence on the flash, but the results were clearly better. I had a higher percentage of usable shots from the S500.
One option to deal with this is to put the SD600 in manual mode and set the ISO manually. Keep it at 250 or preferably lower if there's enough light. I wish I had done that instead of leaving it in "Auto ISO" mode, but I couldn't tell what pictures really looked like on the camera LCD. I didn't really see the quality of the shots until I got back on land and saw the pictures on a computer.
Another option... Perhaps pick up a camera that has better high ISO performance than the SD600 or a camera that gives more control over settings. This can be challenging with the point-and-shoot cameras these days as the producers seem to try to maximize ISO even if it means loss of quality.

the case is just as i'd hoped and expected, and performed well out of the box. it does require some tedious inspection prior to use, but that task isn't difficult; user must inspect seals and lubricate them to ensure waterproofing. the only real downside is that it can only be used on this model of canon, and if i decide to upgrade my camera i will have to purchase another housing.

Works as advertised and nice hardy construction. Only downside is that it does not fit any of their other cameras. I decided to buy a 2nd cheap refurbished camera for $150 to get as much life out of this housing as possible since it is not likely my original camera will last much longer as it is now approaching 2 years of age.

I am quite content with this item. We purchased it just in time for a family vacation where we used it at the beach, the river, the lake and the pool where it was in and out of the water. It functioned so well in all those environments resisting sand, mud, rain, water, sunscreen, sticky fingers and a two-year old. I discovered that this case is a an excellent way to "insure" the safety and longevity of the camera. Don't wait like we did, get it now!
Great case March 28, 2008

This case is great. I just took it on two dives, and can't wait to go back for more. It is well designed, has good instructions (read them!), and works at any depth I would ever dive at. Pictures were clear, and all controls were easy to use. Money well spent.
