Hey,
I'm considering buying the all-weather case for my s-100 digital. Before I shell out the 120 bucks I wanted to know if anyone out there has one, and if so, do they like it. From what I've read they're well built, but can I trust it underwater/in the rain etc?

Also, if anyone can point me to some samples they've taken using the case I'd appreciate it.

I have the WP-DC300 and it works fine. I have a concern that I have forwarded to Canon for a reply. Namely, what the danger is with regards to overheating.

The camera cannot be switched on/off when it is in the case. You put it in switched on. That's fine if you put it into the water a minute or two later as the water conductivity will 'extract' heat from the case. My worry is how long I can leave the camera in the case out of the water before it becomes a problem.

By the way the pix are fine. No distortion or anything.
