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.
The bag was a bit big for the camera, and you had to be really careful that the camera was in the right spot. Otherwise, you got black shadows on the edges of your pictures. Actually toggling some of the buttons was nearly impossible while in the bag. For example, zooming in, or switching from photo mode to video mode was pretty much impossible.
It was also impossible to use the flash while the camera was in the bag- the flash was mostly blocked, so it did no good. Even worse, some light would get through, so the picture was unevenly exposed.
Even with all those criticisms, I am happy with the purchase. I figure that it was a much more affordable option than to buy and develop film from several disposable cameras. I was able to take 400 photos with my digital, and then pick and choose which photos to print. You don't get that luxury with a disposable camera.
It works, but....
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.
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. Hasn't leaked on me yet, although i don't think it would be wise to open and close it while on the beach. A feature that is missing and would be helpful is an external tripod thread. The roll up side extends the cameras width by an inch and half and doubles quite well as a grip with a robust strap system. Aside from switching batteries and chips, there isn't much reason to remove the camera in most situations, save for a little vignetting with the flash. The cap to the extended lens barrel can be unscrewed for cleaning/defogging or expelling air. (just don't do it underwater =)) The lens extension does not collapse by design so don't plan on dropping this in your pocket after a swim.
Waterproof Camera cover
I purchased this camera for my trip to Cabo and held up very well underwater and on the beach. Its affordable and easy to use. The only thing that I didn't like was that it was hard to change any camera settings because of the way its designed. My girlfriends loved it and they both bought one too.
