underwater pics: I was just wondering if anyone had used the powershot elph 110 underwater with the optional case and how that worked out?

I used it with the underwater case and the case is great. I had the camera set to Auto ISO and when snorkeling and pointing the camera down in shallow spots, the camera set the ISO to very high numbers. The good thing is it let me capture moving things but unfortunately that led to grainy photos. I guess it's better to at least have gotten no blurring. I had to adjust black levels up a lot to get nice photos underwater. Video came out good underwater except for the fact that you can hear the lens zooming and that is annoying. Can't believe they overlooked that and of course it isn't mentioned in their literature.

You can take pictures underwater. I have taken quite a few it has worked well for me on those occasions

Hi Paula, My name is Lonnie. I also bought the camera and waterproof housing. Mine is still good. Try here for a case. http://www.intova.net/ . If you can't find the case contact customer support and I'm sure they can help....

I remember that I had a similar question back in December. I wasn't able to find an official Sony one out there, but I did find two possible solutions. I found that Ikelite made a case, but it was expensive. Here is a link from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Ikelite-Underwater-Housing-DSC-WX9-Digital/dp/B005NXKED2 What I ended up using was a Dicapac. It's like a Ziploc bag, but it has multiple seals: Two ziploc style seals and a velcro one. I went snorkeling with it and had no problems, but I wouldn't go diving with it. This is the compatibility list: http://www.dicapacusa.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=107 You can get it the proper size (WP-310) from amazon here http://www.amazon.com/DicaPac-WP310-160x105mm-Waterproof-Digital/dp/B001BSTJIO/

Sorry, I've never tried to take pictures under water. If the case isn't scratched, I assume they will be okay.

Olympus sells an underwater case for the 700 and 710 that is capable of use in depths of 130 ft /40m. The product name is OLYMPUS PT-032. It's great, I have one.

It does bulge out a bit but not like other lens which is a total over kill. but it is able to take a wider shot and include more into the picture. It is somewhat water proof if you wanna take underwater photos however you'll need a water proof phone case to protect your phone! I totally love this item it's so easy to take around and to take on and off. I absolutely recommend it.

Hi Nancy, I love my tiny 300HS and have taken hundreds of photos and videos underwater all over the world with it. For that matter, hundreds more topside. I've had several U/W cameras/housings over the years (mostly Canon) and even some I made myself. This WP-DC41 and 300HS are winners. I've also purchased other UW cameras since: GoPro and Panny, but the tiny 300 wins. Hint: As you know, color is wimpy (mainly blue/gray) under water unless you use artificial lighting (strobe). The 300 HS built-in strobe is OK for close-in shots, but for more oomph, check out the inexpensive Intova UW slave strobe (search INTOVA). (Get the fiber-optic cable with it and tray). Happy diving!

Not that I've had, but I haven't used it for extended underwater use. I've taken it swimming in rivers a couple of times and the pictures and video have come out clear.

YES - It can shoot under water when used inside the included underwater housing. You can't just toss the camera itself into water unprotected, but the clear plastic casing that comes with it is waterproof.

I have not taken video with the camera let alone underwater. Sorry I did not have the answer you were looking for.

I haven't used it underwater! I just take it with me on floats and what not! I just use it as protection if my phone were to drop in the water! I think the more expensive ones are the way to go,there more durable and could withstand going underwater for a short time!

I have Nikon p100 and it worked for me....I took it under the Niagara fall...and it was perfectly waterproof

I haven't had the opportunity to try it out under water, but it does operate differently. I tried it out at home and the photos are blurry unless you have the lense set at maximum exposure (all the way out). It then takes clear photos. This means to me that you better be ready to use it when it is in that mode before it automatically turns off during your power saving mode.

I was thinking about buying this camera before Christmas, and I viewed a test report video online. The reviewer actually went out on a lake in a rowboat, talked about the waterproofing feature, and then actually dunked the camera and lens under water. He then immediately lifted the Pentax out of the water and proceeded to take pictures with it and it worked!! So perhaps the answer is you should not try to swim under water with it, but it does survive a quick dunk underwater if you happen to drop the camera into water.

I does shoot video, but I didn't try any underwater. I puchased an 8 GB Micro SD card (which is the most memory the Camera takes)... Shot answer the camera did NOT come with a micro card.

Yes, with the protective case which comes supplied. Awesome photos underwater.
