Zooming is difficult in a bag. Also making any adjustments whatsoever are hard. But for the price, it did protect my camera in the water.
Not simple to insert Camera. So much room that it is VERY Buoyant underwater. Hard to reach shutter. Flash overheats camera during use.
... from a pvc bag. Used this with a 5D II, snorkeling a couple times and on an all day sea kayak tour. Had a 24-70mm Canon lens on and was difficult to pull the lens out to 24mm; the elasticity in the pvc made that difficult.
Active Lifestyle Photography Adventure Sport Photography Works great for what I use it for. Probably won't be using it extensively in the ocean for surf photography just because I don't feel comfortable that it would hold up to the heavy beating from surf.
This bag is amazing, if you just play around with underwater photography this is a great start. Allows you to use multiple cameras with a variety of lenses. Changing controls can be challenging, but not impossible.
I took this unit diving and it did keep my camera dry the entire time. Once your camera is in the housing though it is very difficult to change settings so you kind of have to experiment in similar conditions before taking it on an important dive. The housing is rated to an impressive 150 ft depth.
Like all the reviews, controls are hard to operate. A bit of guesswork to know what settings to set your camera to on the surface, especially as a noobie. Experience will minimize this. Camera stays dry. Even with all the air taken out (when not using a flash), it still bobs like a cork.
I had been shooting underwater portraits in a swimming pool with the G11, but wasn't fully satisfied with the quality. So I decided to get this bag as an alternative so I could use my better cameras in it.
Once you get over the fact you just paid over 4XX dollars for a plastic bag, it does allow you to take underwater pictures, although without much customization, at least on the spot. As other have pointed, it is best to set the camera settings before going in the water.
I have had an Ewa-Marine housing for my Sony PD-150 for years so when I was in the market for one for my SLR this was an obvious choice. I am not a pro photographer by any means but this works perfectly for my needs.
