I used it on a Panasonic Lumix with a fairly big tele lens and I was impressed at how well it worked.
On down side is it was quite difficult to manipulate the camera controls while in the case, so you need to set it to a mode and leave it there for the dive. I was able to switch between video and photo mode but it was quite difficult.
It is basically a heavy duty zip-lock bag with a velcro closure for added security.
In any case I thought it was great for what it is and would recommend it to others.

I didn't even get a chance to check this product for waterproofness because I was disappointed with the fit. I have a Canon powershot SX 230, and according to the DiCapac website this size should fit my camera but the case was far too big. I inserted pieces of foam to try to remedy this, but found that even once it fit I couldn't change any of the settings on my camera (zoom, photo settings, etc.) due to the design. Not super impressed, I returned it.Honest reviews on DiCAPac WP570 Underwater Waterproof Case for Large Cameras (like
I was going to the Royal Caribbean cruise trip to the Caribbean in less than 10 days and needed a dicapac quick for my LX3 so I researched on the different products and came across this one. I was referred to the dicapac site to find the right fit for my LX3 and they suggested the wp610/wp570. I then went to read about every review that was posted of ANY dicapac to see what other ppl had to say. Since after all, it did seem risky to just risk the life of my precious camera on a cheap plastic cover instead getting the legit waterproof housings. So after reading a bunch of reviews and even watching youtube videos on people testing the housing, I found some people saying that the case was too loose. But no one really had the same make of camera and such. On top of that, both 610 and 570 said they were able to fit G5, 7 and 9... so that was a bit confusing and risky. I think they later added the 570 because most reviews were people talking about the 610 for the lumix.ANYWAYS, The wp570 was a PERFECT FIT for my LX3. It was indeed a bit loose but the snout was good for the long zoom. So to fix that problem, you just have to grip the camera in the right position so the zoom doesnt hit the plastic of the zoom and cause it to hide back in the camera. The loose fit was actually perfect because it allowed me to press the preview button and stuff. Like stated in the other reviews, in some pictures the snout part of the dicapac would show up in my pictures but its not a big deal since u can just crop that out.
The photographers that took pictures of us underwater in hopes to charge us big bucks for dinky pictures didn't really like me and my dicapac. Alot of other cruisers asked me where I got it too. Overall, no complain with my purchase. LOVE IT.

The web site says that WP570 is comptible with Panasonic Lumix ZS-7, but the case is way too big for this camera.I purchased a case for iPhone5 and did snorkeling with it. Got better videos than GoPro that my friend brought.
