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. I used it with the underwater case and the case is great.

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.

Nope, never used it underwater to take pictures. However, I have had it in very bad wet raining weather and it has held up fine. Your question could probably be answered best my the manufacturer. So far, for what I do with it, hunting in wet climates, works great for the price.EH

I have only used my Gopro camera underwater once. The insert did seem to expand slightly. Not sure if that was just because of being squeezed inside the case though. The case itself seems to be sealed very well, but in the end I felt it was worth the little money to keep my mind at ease to protect my investment in the camera. Plus are you willing to chance getting fog when shooting a scene you may not be able to reproduce.

NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!! I would not recommend this product for a cannon powershot. Product is way too big. If you want one of these don't get the WP-ONE but rather the older product that actually listed this camera, but I would recommend to save up your money to get a real underwater camera if you can. Yes, my camera stayed dry, but it was such a pain to use, we stuffed it with tissue and paper towels and the camera still wouldn't stay in place, most shots have a huge black spot where it was partially photographing the stupid case , and after using it for a week the product is ruined because constantly moving the camera around to try and position it the lense part is badly scratched.

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

Hi Tom, unfortunately I haven't tried to use mine underwater since I take videos of my hiking adventures. But, I highly doubt it would work underwater since it is made for out of water use. The underwater replacement lenses are flat, not curved. If you hunt Amazon, you can find the lenses made for underwater shooting.

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/

It shoots great videos underwater, tested it during my trip to Hawaii a few months ago. there's a bit of zoom sound, but the quality itself is great.

Yes, get it. It is totally worth it. It is the perfect case. My diving buddies live taking pictures with the camera over the Sea Life

I know there is a underwater housing available for the first model of this camera (the 720SW) that goes very deep. Check the olympus website, as it's where I've seen it. I'm sure they'll come out with one for this camera as well.

Takes flawless pics while in the case, underwater too. I also got video with sound underwater while in the case.

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....

Sorry. I never used it underwater. But I do feel, by hands on the camera and components, that the whole package is well engineered and well made. I wouldn't hesitate to use the case in the rain.

Hello, AMAZON contacted me with your question. I purchased the underwater case you're asking about. Unfortunately, it does not fit the SONY DSC-HX50V. It fits an older SONY camera identified as DSC-W150. For what it's worth, if you have some extra money to spend, SONY's waterproof DSC-TX30 is capable of taking nice underwater photos. I got some very nice turtle and tropical fish photos while vacationing in Hawaii with this model. It takes nice pics otherwise as well and is incredibly compact. Hope this info helps.

Wooks great. Waterproof. I used it a lot at the river and snorkeling in the ocean . Took great pics and video . Was 100% dry inside. For the price I bought more . I paid $80 for a life proof case and didn't like it.

Yes but it would be best to go in the camera settings and change the volume button to operate the camera button.Being underwater won't allow you to tap the screen because of how the touchscreens operate.Everything works perfectly and it takes perfect photos as if the case weren't even there.

Yes. The case fits like a glove. The pictures I took with it are fantastic. The ZS10 camera has a special mode for underwater pictures that you should set. Every button, knob, and dial on the camera can be used while in the case. Quite impressive. My only complaint is it is a little bigger then I would like it to be. I mounted it to my BC with a lanyard that loops back on itself to keep it snug to the BC when I am entering the water. I have dove up to 95 feet, with over 20 dives to date with no leaks. I would recommend that you leave it in the case between dives to prevent sand from getting on the O-rings. Since you can turn the camera on/off while diving, I found I could leave it in the case for several days of diving before you need to remove it to charge the camera battery. Just rinse with water, like all your other equipment.
