I have not gotten the case wet yet so I can not speak about the handiness or picture quality or waterproofness of the case. I can see that the picture can have a black ring if the camera is not resonable centered, since there is nothing to keep the camera centered this will have to be watched.
The “Directions and Cautions” take me back 30 or 40 years when instructions for any item made in Japan or China were allways a hoot and barely comprehesible.
I get the gerneral jest of the instructions but there are a few missing details:
What is the “UP-RING” for and how does one use it?
The instructions start with:
“notes) This Product desires that stick out of lens uses electively to only long some didgital camera that Dicapac hard packing lenght.”
Please if any one can decifer this I sure would like to know what it says and if I need to use the “UP-RING”.
How does one use the lanyard, it is totally un-intuitive. I am a very mechinical kind of guy and I haven’t the slightest I dear how to hitch up the lanyard to the case. It does appear to be rather short so I will probable use a old landyard with a clip.
Well I am heading for a Caribean cruise and some snorkelling hope fully I will get some great phots.

Excellent water protection. Used on 200 mile kayak trip with a canon SD970IS. Only problem was that the lens on the case prevented use of the telephoto lens on the camera. Clearance was just enough to use the camera lense in it’s standard position. Care must be taken to assure the lense stays lined up while the camera is turning on or it will power back down. Buttons were easy to access through case. It would be nice if the lense on the case would retract – it sticks out approx 2-3 inches – defeating some of the compactness of a compact camera.

The lens port is too narrow that creates black rings on photos. You can adjust to avoid the black rings through looking at the lcd screen to make sure all four corners of the picture doesn’t have black rings, but that is diffuclt to do that when the lcd screen is difficult to see—when it’s bright and sunny, dark, or just in a rush.
It is also difficult to adjust the dial on camera (I have a Sony DSC P200).
The idea is great. The waterproof/dustproof works. It is handy and it’s affordable. The lens is clear and can take great pictures like as if it is not there unless if there’s waterspots. If the lens is wider to avoid black rings and if there’s a way that I can adjust the dial easy, I’d rate this product a 5. I use this mainly for Guam Boonie Stomps where it rains a lot during hiking, where we cross deep and shallow river/falls, and where I use it for snorkeling on a hard to reach places.

I agree with everything Lowell Carter said. I bought this for a Caribbean cruise and didnt want to spend $150 for a hard case. It fit the Canon Powershot SD890IS perfectly. The only gripe I have is being able to zoom…it’s quite difficult with the Canon, but otherwise I’m really glad I bought this for our trip. it was great for the beach as well to simply keep sand out of the camera. you can just unscrew the lens cap to avoid any of the black rings being in your pics when you are on dry land.

I ordered the DicaPac case DicaPac WP310 160×105mm Medium Alfa Waterproof Digital Camera Case with Optical Lens (Clear)to use with my Sony Cybershot DSC-P200, as I was going on a Caribbean cruise with a stop at Grand Cayman Island, known for great diving and snorkeling. I tested the pac in my kitchen sink, and was happy with the resulting photo I took of myself from underwater. I went ahead and snorkeled at Grand Cayman with my camera inside the DicaPac, taking a dozen pictures or so. The camera stayed well protected from moisture. However, it is not a snug fit inside the bag. You need to zoom out in order to avoid a black ring in your photos (from the optical lens ring). I was able to use the flash which helped greatly in photo quality underwater. I purchased this particular version because it was clear on the top side–I noticed another version had the dark band on top which would make seeing your top camera controls much more difficult. The bag floats, and I used the accompanying strap around my neck, which perhaps could have been a little longer, or it may have been better to wrap the strap around my wrist instead. Most of my pictures were just fine, considering it is quite difficult to remain still while snorkeling, and it was hard to see the camera screen through the bag and my fogging dive mask! I would recommend this as a cost effective way to get some underwater photos while snorkeling.
