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)..

I am a Scuba instructor and I own a Nikonos V, a Sea&Sea MX-10 and an Ikelite housing for my Pentax PZ-1 SLR. I wanted to move to digital photography for my Underwater Photography classes. (I am NOT an expert. I am NOT a professional photographer. I teach the intro course.) I also needed to reduce the weight of the gear I was hauling to the Caribbean. The Canon S30 with the DC300 housing lets me do just that. I added an Ikelite Substrobe DS50. (If you want to use an external strobe, you REALLY need to get one that is specially made for digital. Normal strobes don't work!)

I taught a class of high school students to do Underwater Photography last spring with this rig. I used it myself last summer on my own vacation trip. I'm using it again this summer in preference to my other rigs. We were all able to take remarkably good pictures and see the results using my laptop during lunch. I really liked being able to give feedback on the student's technique while s/he still remembered taking the picture. No waiting for developing.

(We also were able to take remarkably bad pictures as well. The delay between pushing the shutter release and actual snappage of the picture is Especially Annoying!)

As with any underwater photography gear, meticulous care and cleaning is necessary. That said, I found this particular rig very easy to maintain and very easy for my students to learn how to maintain and use.

I took this unit diving. After 5 dives, at 60' in dead calm conditions and with careful maintenance, it leaked badly enough to destroy my camera. I cleaned everything and tried it again with the destroyed camera on a later dive. Same results.

Canon refused to cover ANYTHING.

Do NOT buy this as a diving housing. It will cost you your camera fairly quickly, with no possibility of compensation.

One problem with this case is that the lens housing is positioned such that it obscures the flash from illuminating the lower right corner of the scene... All my photos are dark in the lower right corner. Otherwise a good case.

this kept our camera safe snorkeling and in a tropical storm.
Pictures were great and well worth the investment. We'd tried the throwaway underwater cameras before and were hesitant about spending the money on this case. Pictures lived up to the canon (prints were gorgeous).

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.

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 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.

The housing is very good one ,haveing a very nice shape, and very easy to use it
