I have attached a short video of an atoll south of Maui. The camera (and camera guy) aren't the best, but you get the idea.

Great product! My most satisfying Amazon buy of recent memory.

Overall, this product was everything I expected. It was probably even better quality. However, you need to keep in mind that this case comes in different sizes but a limited number of sizes. They are not made for specific cameras. I purchased the WP110 camera which is listed as being compatible for many of the Casio Exilim cameras. I used it with an older model Z40 and a newer model S10. The case worked really well with the Z40. However (although no fault of the case), I couldn't read the LCD screen on the Z40 underwater. It was like looking at it in bright sunlight. So I used the S10... I could see the LCD fine on this camera, but it is a lot thinner and therefore smaller than the case. Both of the cameras slid around a bit, but the smaller the camera, the more it will slide. As a result, many pictures will have a black shadow from the tube on the bottom left and/or right corners. You can line it up, but that's kind of a pain. And it's hard to take vertical shots. Also, the S10 camera's flash is close to the lens... so close in fact, that sometimes it flashes partially inside the lens tube. This creates a bright white glare in the top right corner of the pictures. Oddly, this affected pictures more on land than underwater. In summary, the case is good quality, easy to use, and works well. However, it works best when the camera is closer to the maximum size for the model. Otherwise, the camera will move around causing black shadows and/or white glare spots. You can always crop these out later though, so it's still way better than using a disposable underwater camera and cheaper than buying a case made specifically for the camera.

Mind you, this is not for deep water scuba diving... I used it for my casio exilim camera (zseries) and it worked really well. Not a drop of water on my camera! I used this while we were on vacation, and got some really funny pictures in the poolboth above and under the water. The pictures are better than a crappy disposable. It certainly took the stress out of taking my camera to the beach, toono worry about sand ruining my cameraand I had room to stash my (small) cell phone inside when we were wading in the spray one morning. (which is probably not recommended, but it worked out ok for a short time) The only downside, as mentioned before, is that the very small cameras will tend to shift insideleaving you with a picture of the ring from the lens part. Leaving the lens on the camera partially zoomed to line it up and stuffing some paper towels around the camera to make the fit more snug helped somewhat. It was worth the money for casual/recreational use for funny "happy hour in the pool" pictures.

Honest reviews on DicaPac WP110 5.7 x 3.7 Small Alfa Waterproof Digital Camera Case

I use it on my Canon SD780 IS and also on my past camera Canon SD1000. First off the hard case by Canon is $175, that's getting close to the cost of my camera. If I was scuba diving weekly, I would than consider it. For me, the case allowed me to take my camera on trips I wouldn't be able to take photos and videos. I've used it on the beach, pool parties, snorkeling in the Galapagos Islands and River Rafting / Kayaking down the Kern River (level 4). Haven't had any leakage and gotten some great footage. My only dislike is that it doesn't fit my camera perfectly. It will move around unless you put some paper towels inside to prevent that from happening. If it does move around than your picture gets a little blocked by the casing. It however, can be a cool effect in some photos, but generally not. I've recently switched from paper towels to foam. This works a lot better. For the price it is definitely worth it....it's either that or never having incredible underwater photos/videos. I give it 5 stars for the price of allowing me to take my camera underwater. It also comes with a shoelace strap to put around your neck. Buy it... you won't regret it!!!

Used with a Canon SD940 and SD780. Pretty easy to get into. Keeps water out. Only problem is adjusting it not to block the flash. The front opens up when you're not underwater so you can take clearer pictures and screw back in when you're near water again. It floats when in water so you don't have to worry about losing the camera. The neck strap detaches for when you don't need it. Overall, it works great...camera stays dry and you get your underwater shots/videos.
