I have the waterproof case and it works wonderfully. I've had it down to 95 feet with no problems.
Beside scuba diving, it is great anytime you want to protect your camera. All the functions are available through push butttons and knobs.

When you say "ALL the functions" do you really mean all? Including the dial and buttons under the screen?
Thanks

Hey,
I have the underwater case too. I bought it for canoeing (fried my first digital camera by getting it wet). I had a great time with it, and loved not having to worry about getting it wet.
As for the features... yeah, you can access everything (all dials and buttons, and a tripod mount). The only thing that you are limited with is the flash (you get some bounceback and the lense blocks some of it), and the viewfinder is blocked as well. So, as long as you're shooting in natural light, and use the LCD screen you should be fine.
I'm really happy with mine... yeah it was expensive, but now I can go swimming with it.

The case is great. I had mine down to 120 feet... no problem. It IS cheap. Housings for other cameras can cost over a thousand dollars!!!!

Hello ...
yeah, it is cheap relatively, comparing to other cameras' housings. quite good to use, considering that all knobs and buttons are usable even with the housing on. Sound recording is not a problem too. On land it is a little bit muffled , but quite all right ..
