It works!
I'm learning how to scuba so I got this for my new Olympus camera. Unlike the cheap Baggie-type underwater housings, this is the real deal. Hard, clear plastic with lots of O-rings and a button or dial for each control on the camera. So far I've only tested it in a swimming pool, but it's easy to handle underwater and it's also easy to preview your photos.
It's advertised to go down over 100 feet, which is farther than I'm certified to go, but looking at the seals and included sealing grease, I'm betting it will go down there no problem. Also, compared to what it would cost me to get a housing for my Nikon DSLR, this is a real bargain.
Plus, the camera is so small you just open the housing, drop the camera into any pocket and your ready for some apres diving snapshots.

Worth the money
We used this on a vacation to the beach. This product keep the camera safe and dry. The sand on the beach seams to get everywhere, but this casing keeps both sand and water out. You will do alot at the beach with your family, Wouldn't it be nice to capture those memories??
Also the box comes with slica packs.. Experience from past waterproof housing.. They are needed, because moisture from the air that can cause condinsation on the lens.

Good pics, not a lot of light or detail...
The housing works great, and I really like the underwater settings, the buttons are pretty easy to use and navigate with gloves on underwater. We took down about 80 feet, got some good pictures, but the flash doesn't work unless you manually put it on, and even then, the pictures look worse with the flash. I think if there is a way to get a strobe on the camera, it has a lot of potential, but the housing itself, is very good and easy to use.

Underwarter housing works great!
Item works great and gives access to all functions of the camera. It's a little large but works well underwater with the included wrist strap you can attach it to yourself and swim without much problem at all.

Better than expected
This is one fantastic camera housing. Its almost easier to use the camera with the housing on. On our first dive with this we went to 120' and took some amazing photos. We also took several minutes of video with it and we even had sound under water....too cool. We have friends with the same camera so we bought them one too. I couldn't be happier with the purchase.
