I started with it in the pool and shot these photos of my kids. Learn that a weight belt would be a good idea.

Sep 02, 2010 14:02 | #3 very nice pics for an underwater bag. National camera has them for around a 100 and ive thought about it, but questioned IQ and of course the safety issue. 6D, Sigma 24mm f1.4 art, sigma 85 f1.4 art

Sep 02, 2010 14:24 | #4 I have a picture my daughter took with her point and shoot. The camera worked well and was totally safe. I started with testing it in the sink then the tub then the pool then the ocean. I too was very cautious with it but found it to be totally water tight and work well for the price. I was pleased with the way that it worked it is not a perfect solution but did great it is only waterproof to 5 meters. More than enough for the beach snorkeling and so on.  Here are some others shots with the camera I noticed no loss of image quality shooting through the bag it has a high quality UV filter on the front of the lens. Here is a shot of my son while in the Ocean.  and some shots taken while snorkeling as well    Sam Laterza flickr

I would be super scared to try this! So would I. One leak (which you would most likely not notice) and a whole bunch of money down the drain! Equipment list - According to the wife - "how many more lenses do you need? Yet another camera?"

Sep 02, 2010 19:39 | #8 Thanks for the comments. I agree about the scared part I was constantly checking the equipment for leaks and so forth. Every time before I used it I would check the bags for leaks as well. It held up really well and I was quite pleased with it. Sam Laterza flickr

Sep 04, 2010 05:40 | #11 It really was not stressing and I felt totally comfortable with the equipment in the bag. There is no rating to how many uses or anything but I feel that if you properly care for this piece of equipment it can last you a long time as there is really nothing too major that could go wrong with it. I really enjoyed using it and look forward to future opportunities to use it. Sam Laterza flickr
