This gizmo is awesome for your snorkelling trips BUT i wish i knew about the lens fogging up BEFORE i got down to the Virgin Islands. When you lay around in the sun, of course this case is going to get warm - then you immerse into the cool blue ocean and POW. You have fogged the inner side of lens.So - throw in some silica gel in there, or find some form of anti-fog that won't damage the case's inner lens.
This is a great little camera that takes great pictures and video both above and underwater, my wife and I went on a diving trip to playa del camen to dive the cenotes [fresh water caves]. Took about 300 pics and video, the only problem so far is with the flash in the pitch dark carverns, every picture I took [without] the defuser had a dark spot in the lower right hand corner, I guess its a reflection from the flash back into the housing, other than that its a great underwater camera.
I was able to get some very nice photos that would have been damaging to my camera otherwise. I purchased this case for my Canon SD770IS just prior to going on a cruise vacation. Because this case is made by Canon for Canons, all controls, buttons and functions match up perfectly, and work like a charm. Timing was perfect. Most camera owners were cowering below decks as we experienced a good deal of wind and salt spray. And since this case is good to a depth of 40 meters, it will even function as a dive camera (although I don't dive - yet). This is a great solution, and even includes a tripod socket, should you want to mount this on your kayak.
My husband and I bought this case for our recent dive trip to Belize and it worked wonderfully. No leaks at all - even at 130 ft. The video function was awesome underwater, especially at depth where it was a little too dark for pictures. Great product.
I didn't buy them and really don't feel that it is necessary. Used it to scuba in Australia. The camera wasn't floating like a balloon in the saltwater. It went as low as 60 feet without any problems. Canon also sells weights for this housing to achieve neutral bouyancy so the camera won't float while you scuba. It might be slightly buoyant in salt water but not that bad. For the SD770IS with the attached WP-DC23 housing Canon says you would need one weight to achieve neutral buoyancy.
