Underwater housing for sx20? Does anybody know if there is an underwater case for this camera? I want to use a camera for scuba diving up to 120 feet.

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.

This kit appears similar to one that I purchased. The housing included in my kit was the standard housing with both the waterproof and skeleton doors. The housing with the waterproof door is rated waterproof to 131'. The dive housing is rated waterproof to 197'. Check the GoPro site, lots of info to be found and the tech support is great if you have an issue. http://gopro.com/

It works great with the underwater case. I've used it many times and have loved it. The only 'minor' annoyance is the little wrist strap has to be removed from the camera when you put it into the waterproof case. That's to be expected. Otherwise, you can use ALL the functions of the camera with it in the case.

I used the camera on a recent dive trip. I had the LCD back so used the GoPro Hero 3 housing (not +) because it could accommodate the LCD back.So yes the camera is good in deep water in the housing. The Hero 3+ housing also works in water (you need to put the correct back on the case in either situation ..3 or 3+)

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 AmazonIkelite Underwater Camera Housing for Sony DSC-WX9 Digital Still CamerasWhat 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=107You can get it the proper size (WP-310) from amazon hereDicaPac WP310 160x105mm Medium Alfa Waterproof Digital Camera Case with Optical Lens -Clear I remember that I had a similar question back in December.

You can shoot as video underwater also and with the cover in place. It was an expensive but excellent purchase. The cons were it is bulky to pack and I could not use the view finder I had to use the large screen for viewing. I am sure you can use the viewfinder I just did not take the time to read the directions. Good luck!

I believe that the camera can be used under water, BUT it has to be in a waterproof case. I am not sure how this "feature" makes it different from any other camera, but that is my understanding

Yes, I'm aware of the underwater case. Also, the one from Ikelite is much better. I'm more concerned with how the pictures turn out underwater with only the underwater case (w/out the strobe)?

You need this: Panasonic DMW-MCTZ7 Marine Case Underwater Housing for Panasonic DMC-ZS3 & DMC-ZS1.So no, the DMW-MCTZ20 will not work. We had a lot of trouble finding the exact case we needed. The slightest difference keeps the case from shutting properly, or the zoom from extending. Sucks, but it's the truth.Good luck fining the case listed above.

You could try it if you had a case handy, or review pictures/controls/dimensions for the camera you have vs what this is made for but I wouldn't make go through a mail order/shipped purchase just to chance it. These cases are all manufactured specifically to the shape and controls of these cameras and the fit has to be just right or else you won't be able to use your camera. Another thought might be to check with a camera store that stocks the cases and cameras and knows what else fits with what. If I had to do it all over again, I have one of the newer waterproof panasonic Lumix cameras and I just love it a lot more than my older one which fit the case, and I'd be tempted to go with a case that fit a waterproof camera so I could use the camera both ways and also not worry so much about leakage when diving.

The standard housing that comes with the camera is rated for a depth of 40 meters (131 feet). You can buy the "dive housing" for 59.99 rated for 60 meters (197 feet). In most cases the standard housing works great. Most people are not diving past 40 meters. The picture quality is amazing!

Have above camera .. also Marine case for same... Fits perfectly and easily used.. takes great underwater shots.. bit of a pain to get replacement seals and gel packs which I later got via Panasonic.. Don't open at beach to see your shots... wait till you get home and clean in water to avoid sand/dirt getting in case... AWESOME PRODUCT... ALSO make sure you use underwater setting in camera as your shots will be better...

I am not sure which answer you are looking for, I purchased the replacement lens set and I am also a diver. So to answer your question I will describe each of the 3 total lense doors that i have. The original lense that came with my waterproof case works great for diving. I have personally had it to 125' with no problems. The second lense door that i use for diving is the flat one that came in the replacement lense door kit. I have had it to 125' as well with no problems. Either of these will work for diving. The original does give a slight fisheye image, that the flat one does not. The third lense is the second one int replacement door kit. It is designed for enhanced sound pickup and works on rainy days but is not for diving. I hope my somewhat longwinded answer helps you. I am glad that i purchased the replacement doors i have used both of them with good results. Mike W.

Did you have any other issues with the camera? I am weighing between buying this camera or the Pentax underwater camera-WP10. I will use this camera to do a website on the Thousand Islands in Cocoa Beach as well as in the Bahamas underwater snorkeling so any input would be appreciated. How was the battery life? Easy to operate, such as spacing between the buttons for big fingers? Thanks and have a good day.

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.

Rugged Waterproof Case for Diving, Rafting, and More The Looxcie HD Outdoor Pack features a hard-shell waterproof case that is IPX8 rated to a dive depth of 60 meters (196 feet). This means it can withstand submersion in water and maintain its seal, so your camera stays protected on land and in water. Because of the case durability, it's ideal for extreme dry-land adventures, like ATVs, snowmobiles, and bungee jumping. Mount the camera on your surfboard while you catch a monster wave or on your bike handlebars to capture yourself tackling an extreme mountain course. If you take a tumble, your camera will stay safe--and you'll have captured a shot of the wipeout! BTW,GoPro is another good choice,maybe
