Minolta Dimage X Marine Case Reviews

Customer Ratings:

purchased the case specifically to take snorkeling in the Carribean. When the light was strong, the pictures were great. when diving too deep, the pictures were a bit too dark. never had issues with leaking or slow shutter speed. a lot of fun to use.

I bought this case from Amazon for my Dimage X (the old one, with 2MP). It fitted nicely onto the camera, but the nasty surprise came when I actually tried to use it during snorkeling.

The shutter lag is about a second, which means that the camera takes a picture about a second after you press the button (see other review). Now try shooting fish when bouncing in the surf!

Very disappointing indeed. I hope they fixed this for the Xt, because the Minolta hotline plainly stated, that it's just the way it is for my camera, not fix is being considered. Now if you shoot static pictures on the beach, the case may be nice, but trying to frame marine life is next to impossible and makes the case practically useless for snorkelers or divers.
