 Works perfect for me May 29, 2008
First things first:
I allways check the bag each time I use it, for I know not all products are perfect and you need to be carefull. I check if the clamps still click and stay securely in place, I check if I can spot any punctures in the bag.
With that said, I have never had a problam with it, if condensation builds in it I use those little anti moisture bags. If used with care you will have the best time taking under water pictures. I don't know if I would take this to the open sea, but for pool or beach it's great.
Also I have used it with my PDA and Cell-phone so that I can listen to music, or not miss a call while in the pool or bath, hehe.
 ruined my camera February 14, 2007

I bought this bag to just be able to take my camera to the beach and not worry about it getting wet. We didn't want to take pics in the water, we wanted to bring it in the water with us so that it didn't get stolen on the beach. I tested the bag a few times with paper towels and it seemed fine. There is a gasket system that is a bit complicated, if something isn't perfect say goodbye to your camera. We put the camera in it (it fit easily) I sealed the bag and went in the water. one of the gaskets had broken or moved out of place or something and the bag flooded. It was very easy to mess this up, it all looked fine but it wasn't. I would not risk the money on this bag.
 Inexpensive way to have fun with your digital camera underwater November 18, 2006

The positives: It works as advertised, keeps my digital camera dry and takes decent enough pictures through the clear plastic. Above water you can barely tell that it was taken through the case. It's a great, inexpensive way to have fun with your digital camera in all sorts of wet conditions and, with a little practice, definitely works better than expensive film underwater cameras.
The negatives (can be overcome with practice/ingenuity):
- It can be difficult to operate the camera underwater. It's hard to press buttons through the plastic with water pressure or too much air in the bag.
- Sometimes you just have to point and shoot because it's harder to see the lcd
- Lens distortion is bad if the clear plastic surface is warped or too far from the camera lens
- It will work better on a camera with a lens that is flush/flat to the camera body. If you have a lens that extends, it's a challenge to turn the camera on without errors (too much pressure on the lens).
TIP for compact cameras with protruding lenses: I managed to take much better pictures with the Aquapac after attaching a tube/dish to prevent the front of the pouch from pressing/warping against the lens of the camera underwater. I fashioned this device by cutting a hole into the cardboard covers that they put on clean glasses in hotel rooms; this creates a broad, flat surface for the pouch and keeps the lens from getting pressed in -- works pretty well now!
VERY GOOD CASE April 3, 2006

I bought this case while on vacation to use for underwater photos. It is very easy to use, and just the fact that it will allow you to use your digital camera underwater to take those kind of pictures is worth the cost itself.
