We just got back from Hawaii and took this with us when we went snorkling. This is a great product that keeps your camera dry. The only problem is that the case is a one-size-fits-all. Even though the description of the product said it would fit my Cannon SD-1000, the camera was very loose inside the case. You have to make sure that your camera lens is centered inside their lens ring when taking pictures, otherwise you’ll get a black ring around your photos. It is very difficult to do this when underwater because there is so much free play with the camera. I solved that problem by stuffing Kleenex on the two sides and the bottom of the camera so it was wedged in the case and wouldn’t move around on me. Another problem I encountered is that when I centered my camera lens in the hole, their black ring blocked half of my flash. I couldn’t get the camera positioned where the lens was centered and my flash was unubstructed.
On the plus side – the case kept my camera dry and my pictures came out great. I was snorkling in shallow waters in the morning and didn’t need my flash, so that didn’t seem to be a problem. This is a very affordable product for underwater photography. I didn’t want to spend $300 on an underwater digital camera for just a couple of days use and I’ve tried the disposable underwater cameras without much luck. You didn’t know if you got a good picture until you had your film developed. With this product, I was able to use the camera I already had and I liked to take great unerwater shots.
I would have given this 4 stars if it had been better fit to my camera. I would highly recommend it if you don’t mind taking the time to wedge your camera inside the case prior to going into the water. Once you’re in the water, you can’t see your display to see if your lens is centered.
I just came back from a cruise in the Caribbean and I said many time that buying this camera case was the best idea I’d ever had. I tested it out in my sink before I left and it’s a scary idea to bring your expensive camera underwater, but it’s completely protected and safe. Needless to say, it’s amazing to have pictures (and videos!) from diving in the Caribbean. It’s also great for when it’s raining out when you’re traveling and want to take pictures. Basically, it’s well worth the money, even if you only use it once or twice, but it’s a great thing to protect your camera against the elements in general.

It works, it’s cheap, what more do you want?
I was somewhat skeptical when I first saw this “ziploc bag” for my camera (SD1100). The price was right though so I took the leap of faith.

Frustrated Snorkeler
After reading some encouraging reviews I ordered the waterproof case for my digital camera. Following the tips from those reviews I used rolled pieces of soft cloth to help the…
We were so suprised at how well this worked! We took it to Hawaii and used it while swimming and snorkeling and it was great. The pictures were very clear and we never worried about leaking. Even when we would use the camera on the beach (not underwater) all the pictures were beautiful.
Thanks for a great product at a reasonable price!

Watertight, but loose
Just took this down to the Virgin Islands with my Canon SD1100 IS. As other reviewers have noted, the case is quite large for the typical compact camera.

Good Seal, Not a Perfect Fit
This was purchased for use with my Canon PowerShot SD 790is. After a few tests, it is clear that the case is well constructed and will keep water and sand out.

False advertising
This product in no way fits the Canon SD770 IS as stated. It is almost twice as big as the camera. I am waiting on a response from dbroth so that I can return this.

Love it! No problems, aside from sometimes getting a circle around the image depending on the amount of zoom that I’ve used, but it doesn’t detract from the fun of using it!!

Worked well but…
I bought this case for my Canon SD1100. We were going to be snorkeling in the Caribbean, and I didn’t want to use a disposable for the underwater photos.

look ma! no water leaks!
A cheaper less sophisticated approach that fit my price budget. The plastic is supple enough to accommodate several point and shoot camera models.
