4 out of 5 stars Really nice case. I wish it didn't cost so much.   February 13, 2008

I've done three dives so far with my A720IS in this case, and it's worked great, with nice pictures (though the camera does have a slightly harder time focusing underwater compared to topside). As the other reviewer noted, the flash doesn't cover the whole field of view of the lens when it's set wide (which is usually the most useful setting underwater). The diffuser *does* help a lot with this though (especially with macro shots), so it's worth using. All of the camera controls are easily accessible in the case, so there's nothing you can't do. The camera in the case is positively buoyant, so buying the extra weight attachments (or creating something yourself) may be a good idea. Remember to check the o-ring before every dive, the case seal does tend to accumulate some sand if it's in a harsh environment, like shore diving.


4 out of 5 stars Very good with one small limitation...   January 18, 2008

After having great success with a similar product, the Canon WP-DC2 for the Canon Powershot A540, we decided to get this underwater case for our Canon A720IS digital camera. The case is light, compact, easy-to-use, and works great for our snorkeling photos during the daytime. However, when we tried using it at night with the camera's flash enabled, the waterproof case design casts a shadow over much of the photo. Perhaps our results would have been better had we attached the flash diffusion plate to the WP-DC16, but this was not necessary with the WP-DC2 in order to take high-quality, underwater night photos. Nevertheless, an very good product!
