Just to clarify another reviewer's bad experience with this product. I've used the Marine Pack on several dives and it worked fine. It didn't flood and I didn't even get any moisture inside the housing. Sony recommends to test the housing for 10 seconds at 30cm deep, then for a couple of minutes; I've done it systematically prior to every dive IN A SINK, not in open water. Blaming Sony for a flooded camera housing is unfair, blaming them for taking legal precautions is plain ------. A responsible diver would always check his equipment prior to a dive. So would a responsible underwater photographer. I give it a 4 stars because it does what a cheap housing is supposed to do: it lets you take nice, non-professional, non-artistic holiday (underwater) snapshots. It is by the way very slim and fits nicely into a BCD pocket. Setting it up is very easy and the 5 minute post-dive maintenance is straightforward. Good product, if the user is not foolish. Naturally.

Everyone else summed it up nicely if you want a waterproof camera for casual use, this will work.
Be careful, though with the camera inside, this apparatus will sink like a rock. If you're as clumsy as me, you'll want to make a float for it. I took a small empty soda bottle, closed it tightly, and tied it to the housing with a string. When accidentally dropped into the water, it will float and the soda bottle will be visible. If it weren't for this, my camera would be sitting on the bottom of a river in Jamaica right now.

duh-Follow the instructions dude. I have been to over 35 dives with this case and no leaks. Just make sure you grease the O-ring ,and there is no dirt ,dust or hair on it and test it like the manual says and you are OK. Great camera that you don't feel you have with as it's light.
