A710 is Underwater

[burge]

Has anyone use one of these in the Canon casing underwater, if so what were the results like? I've got one on the way and considering getting the casing for a holiday I'm taking soon.

Thanks

I use the Dicapac WP-500 on mine and it works very well. Its much cheaper than the hard cases and I've had no problems with it so far!

Heres an example:

the problem with that case is that you can only go down into 16 feet of water with it. now if thats all you are trying to do then thats fine, but that is no where close to the suggested recreational limits of scuba diving. i bought this case: http://estore.usa.canon.com/specification.asp?ITEM_ID=37072 for my Powershot A570 and I can take it down 130 ft. its an awesome case. it is pricey though, on the website it says its $240. i went to deodeo (an electronics store) in okinawa and they were able to special order it for me for 15,000 yen or about 120 bucks and it only took 4 days. well worth it.
