Keeps my S1-IS from being left at home! October 22, 2007
Eric A. Cable (Chicago)
Even though the Canon S1-IS is now about three models old, my S1-IS still makes it into the luggage when I know there is going to be wet activities thanks to this water-proof case.
The ONLY negative thing I'll say about it is when you shoot video the microphone picks up every little squeek of your fingers on the plastic case, but that's a OK sacrifice to make.. you can always delete the sound and dub-in commentary.
 Works well, a little cumbersome to store February 16, 2007

It is a nice case and works well. Since the gasket should not be continuously compressed, it must be stored open, so it is a bit larger to store than I thought it would be.
An excellent addition for a snorkeling trip December 30, 2006

My husband and I bought this prior to our trip to Cancun where we planned to do a lot of snorkeling. We wanted to get the actual case that was made to fit our camera so that nothing would go wrong. We are quite happy with this product. The camera itself takes excellent pictures and the ability to use it in the water was awesome. Throw away cameras can be nice but using our own digital camera was the best. We got lots of great pictures and videos as well.
It was also possible to take pictures out of the water with this case on the camera. For instance, if you were swimming and wanted to take a picture of something when you emerged it was still possible. The only glitch was making sure the lens area was dry on the outside of the case so water spots didn't show up on your picture.
Best money ever spent! June 5, 2006

Works great. No leaks. Best advise I can give is don't use the flash. It will only eat up your batteries and scare the fish. Also, learn to use the custom white-balance. Set the short-cut button to the white-balance adjustment function. Then when you're ready to set the white-balance aim the camera at the sun when you're underwater and save the setting. You will need to adjust the setting for every 10 feet of depth change. The custom white-balance setting will make the pictures appear perfect, not washed out in blue. Also, leave the ISO set to auto. Turning it up to 400 causes the pictures to be grainy.
What a Nifty Invention November 14, 2005

I am so very pleased with this purchase. I bought the WP-DC20 for my Canon S1IS for a trip to Hawaii. I had never snorkeled before so it was very exciting to not only see all of the wonderful underwater life but to have photos to show it to my loved ones as well. I learned that you have to get fairly close to the subject in order to get good colors (however, photoshop does wonders for toning down the blue and making the colors show better). I loved that this housing, being made specifically for my camera, allowed me to use all of the functions of the camera. When a sea turtle was peacefully swimming and eating 3 feet in front of me, I was able to quickly switch to movie mode and get some terrific underwater movie clips. You can even hear the noise of the turtle chewing on the coral to get the algae off. If you are a serious underwater photographer, you'll probably want a serious underwater setup with a strobe and all that jazz. If you have the Canon S1IS and love it (I've been so happy with my camera and the prints I've gotten with it) and want to have some underwater fun, this is a terrific toy!
