Though this was specifically supposed to fit my CASIO Exilim 600, the lens barrel repeated got caught in the lens recess, even though I attempted to use the included lens barrel attachment. This was my second disappointing experience with products of this company. I also ordered the bag for a Sony Camcorder which also was supposed to fit, but didn't.

I reviewed this product with an ecstatic 5 stars several months ago. It worked great in several swimming pools, on a trip to Hawaii, and through half of our time in Belize. Unfortunately, halfway through a snorkeling trip, I noticed what looked like water in the bag. Before I could get back to the boat, my $300 canon was dead. Before you ask, yes I properly sealed it. My advice is to get the real case, or buy a cheap waterproof model. The only reason not to have one is that they don't do video.

I purchased this item prior to going on a Caribbean cruise. We wanted to take shots while snorkeling and climbing the Dunns Falls in Jamaica. I was really surprised how well the pack worked. Not a single drop of water got inside during the hours that I spent underwater. I also used it to dive at a depth of about 15 feet and had no problem. There were only two small challenges that I had while using it. First, if the lens isn't positioned correctly in the lens tube, you'll end up with photos that include a portion of the black housing. Be sure to keep the lens in the center of the tube to avoid this. Also, it is very difficult to turn any dial on your camera once it's in the case. I would highly recommend this product for anyone who wants to take some underwater pictures without buying an expensive underwater camera!

I bought this generic water proof bag for my Cannon PowerShot S50 instead of buying the $200 dollar Cannon waterproof case. The bag performed as advertised and kept the camera dry. However, because the bag is made to fit several models of camera, it does not fit the S50 well. As purchased it was impossible to center the camera lens inside the bag's lens cover. This resulted in one side of every picture being obstructed by the curved lens cover. To fix this I fabricated a rubber alignment washer that fits inside the lens cover and around the camera lens forcing the lens to be centered. With this modification I was able to take good underwater pictures during a recent Caribbean cruise.

Note: remember to test the case as mentioned in the manual, if it keeps tissues dry it should keep your camera dry.
The Good:
It is only $35
You get digital quality pictures instead of disposable quality
You can snap away and not worry about wasting film, then delete all the junky photos afterwards (because you will have a lot)
You can get some good pictures with a bit of luck.
The Bad:
The lens ring can become crooked and you will mess up pictures if you don't notice.
Plastic jog dials are impossible to use if your hands are at all wet, let alone trying to spin it while you are in the water and the camera is in a plastic sack!
The lcd viewfinder is useless, too much light while snorkeling..maybe if your camera has a big 3.1 screen it would improve visibility, but I doubt it.
Here is how I got mine to work...before going near water I slipped the camera into the DiCaPac and turned it on (you may not have to turn yours on so early if you have a pushbutton on, mine is a jog dial, so it
