Canon Waterproof case.......2007-11-13
I received this case, made by Canon, a couple of days befor departing for a dive trip, so I was able to test it right away. It was easy to load the camera, and it handled well. The diffuser plate worked well to dissipate the flash on close-ups. What I didn't like was that the camera had problems focusing under certain conditions, such as taking a picture of small crabs, brittle stars or other creatures inside vase sponges. I am not sure if this was due to the case or the camera itself. The biggest problem, however, was that the case leaked on the first dive, fortunately only small amounts, so the camera was not damaged. I had a professional check it and he said that the main o-ring had uneven spots. Also, certain buttons (i.e., the macro button, the left scrolling button, and the exposure button) would squirt droplets of water every time I depressed them under water. Amazon exchanged the item. I would have rated it higher if these problems hadn't occured.
Good case, but this is a NOT US model.......2007-09-10
Good case. Tested it in our local lake and in the swimming pool. Works well, no leaks so far. Have not had a chance to test with scuba. However, I was disappointed to find out that this is NOT a case for US market. It came with warranty card removed. I've already sent back one case from another dealer that had warranty card in Japanese. Dealer explained to me that it was much cheaper to directly import it from Japan. This one from Amazon had no warranty card at all. I guess, Amazon started cut corners also.
This means, it will not be covered by US warranty if it leaks. Otherwise, no complains.
Good for use other than which it is intended.......2007-05-17
I purchased the Waterproof Case for my Powershot A640 to use on my family trip to Costa Rica. It worked well for day shots on the beach and I did not have to worry about sand getting into the camera or problems with humidity or rain and the potential damage to my A640. Unfortunately, the Waterproof case interferes with the flash, so all night/indoor or photos requiring a flash (underwater) include a large black square on the bottom right side of the photograph. This was very frustrating and is an obvious problem with the fundamental design of the underwater housing.
Good, but with limitations.......2007-02-13
This UW case works well in most scenarios but potential buyers should be aware of an issue with a drastic shadow in tight macro shots. Once I took it out of the box, I was immediately concerned that there might be a problem. The lens barrel is quite long (an admitted necessity) and contains a black rubber skirt, which is what blocks the flash and creates the strong shadow in the lower right portion of the frame. I'm guessing the rubber skirt must serve some purpose, though. Because the flash is above and to the left of the lens, perhaps the diffuser could have extended further down along the right side of the lens barrel.
I would still consider this a serious design flaw given that this case isn't exactly cheap. Really too bad, since it prohibits full use of the A630's incredible macro capability.
That being said, the UW case works pretty well if you don't get too close to your subject. I actually prefer the fastening on this case over that on previous models -- it requires less force to open and shut, yet seems just as secure. It does serve its purpose of keeping the camera safe and dry. A bit disappointing but not a completely bad product.

I agree with the previous reviewer (Charlie) about the issue with the drastic hotspot/shadow in tight macro shots. Even before bringing it undwerwater, I was concerned that this might happen. The lens barrel contains a black rubber skirt, which is what blocks the flash and creates the strong shadow in the lower right portion of the frame. I'm guessing the rubber skirt must serve some purpose, though. Because the flash is above and to the left of the lens, perhaps the diffuser could have extended further down along the right side of the lens barrel. (The hotspot can be avoided by adjusting the flash intensity.)

Beware Canon Powershot A650 IS users!.......2007-10-01
I just tried to test this underwater housing product with my brand new CANON Power A650 IS (fantastic camera!!!).... Bad news on this product. It works great on my older Powershot A80 (4MP).
ISSUE: The lens on this new camera extrudes slightly further from the body than earlier Powershot lenses because it has a much wider range 38-210mm. My assumption was that the vinyl container just needed to be stretched a little. Nope. When you slide the camera into the vinyl sleeve it is a VERY TIGHT fit. When the camera is finally inserted the lens cannot come out completely and errors out. I tried playing with the sleeve twice. However, since my camera is far more expensive than this sleeve I decided to make this underwater housing a nice hand-me-down for my older trusty Canon Powershot A80.
Bottom-line: despite the labeling here on Amazon...this housing is NOT COMPATIBLE with the newer Canon camera (powershot A650 IS). I was hoping to save $240 by buying a fancier all-plastic molded housing from Canon....but it appears that my wallet will need to be a little thinner.

Excellent.......2007-08-23
Excellente, it excellent, nice photos, the underwater photos very nice and of good color, you can use the flash and delete shadow on your photos even underwater
WP-DC8 Awesome results for the cost!.......2007-02-23
I took my A640 on my last dive trip and got great pictures and video clips thanks to this case. It works great and for the cost was a great alternative. I used it for a wreck dive to a depth of 100ft and there were no issues. It is specially designed for the camera buttons and I found it extremely easy to use. The video and pictures on the shark dive came out great. With a cloudy day or depths over 90 ft. the pictures will require more than the flash unless you are very close to get good color. GREAT case - thanks Canon!

This case is for the Canon A630 or the A640.......2006-12-02
I checked the Canon website and this case is for the Canon A630 or the A640. It protects your camera from the elements, weather, sand, dirt, etc. And of course you can go underwater and snorkel, scuba dive and get great shots.
Its rated for up to 130 feet.
