And you can leave it on your wrist as you swim so it doesnt get in the way like some other more expensive, bulky underwater equiptment. This product was probably the best purchase I made for our trip to Hawaii. It performed very well and once you figure out what buttons of the case are associated with the buttons on the camera underneath, it is fairly easy to use. It is 10 steps above a disposable underwater camera so if you're the average point-and-shoot photographer and like to dive or snorkle, this is for you. The Canon 950IS takes amazing photos to begin with, so why not get the same quality underwater.
I have used this for saltwater and have taken it into water parks and river rafting as well. It is rugged and allows you to take great photos. It is easy to switch to video and I had to get used to that when I was out in the ocean. I wish all cameras had this type of housing available.
This is an excellent underwater case. We use it with an SD950IS. You must use the flash diffuser if you need flash for shots. The only gripe is that it is nearly half the cost of the camera.
it withstood everything i put it through and that says it all. this case outperformed my expectations and was flawless. got back from a western Caribbean cruise where i did a lot of water activities including scuba, snuba (yes sNuba), swimming, powerboating and more. very easy to setup and use in and out of the water. it protected my camera from getting wet as well as protecting it from breaking as i had it around my wrist on an ATV adventure through the jungle. it was worth every penny i paid for it and i highly recommend it for anyone with this model camera who plan to go diving, swimming, or whatever. very easy to rinse and clean after use as well. be sure to get this awesome Canon accessory.
So this housing is cheap insurance for my expensive replacement camera and regular photos (not underwater) still turn out great even with the housing in place. This is a pricey gadget but it does protect the camera from moisture which is critical for the digital Canon. I probably will use this housing underwater maybe 4-5 days a year, but I will have my camera in the housing most of the time. My last digital Canon was only 6 months old and I was carrying it in a backpack in Hawaii. A rainstorm of less than 5 minute duration resulted in the camera getting damp and it was trash, no way to repair. It's easy to set up and easy to use. I'm very happy with the purchase.
