The model that I have is for 18-55 mm, but there is another identical for 16 mm. It's good until 100 feet.

this is an idea not experience. I would find an old camera lens case-usually for wide angle otherwise a Tupperware small plastic container would be cheap, waterproof and sand proof

O wish I could answer for you. We used the camera while at the beach and the camera was never underwater for that length of time. It never leaked, though.

No protective case needed in water. I had a good experience with this camera. For the money, I felt the picture quality was fine. It provided me decent underwater shots on my snorkeling trip in Cancun and we used it on land out on the beach too so I could keep my Nikon D5000 away from the sand. I was pleased overall because for the price, I wasn't expecting much. It was better than expected.

I see no problem, but I leave mine attached to lens. If anything, sand could get trapped in adapter. Lens is supposedly waterproof.

It works great with the underwater case. I've used it many times and have loved it. The only 'minor' annoyance is the little wrist strap has to be removed from the camera when you put it into the waterproof case. That's to be expected. Otherwise, you can use ALL the functions of the camera with it in the case.

I have a sony nex-3, and I purchased this housing for it. I used it twice in on snuba trips in HI this past April. The camera was fully functional with both the pancake wide angle and the standard lens that comes with the camera. All buttons are useable underwater, and it takes nice pictures. You cannot zoom, but I think by looking at the case one realizes that is how it's set up. It seemed to fit the camera very tightly and I think would protect it at greater depths then I took it too. I'd give it 4.5 stars the only drawback being it is rather bulky, but again I think it's something you're aware of based on the picture. I have a sony nex-3, and I purchased this housing for it.

I´ve been using it in salt water since I bought it and had no problems at all. I think the product itself doesnt specify wether its waterproof or not. What I do is that everytime I finish using it, I extend it to 39" and dry it with a towel (you´ll have to do that about 3 times before put it away in your backpack). I also recommend to pour some fresh water on it after shooting in saltwaterOn the other hand, remember that the Wifi remote is completely waterproof, so don´t be afraid to take some shots underwater.

it was new and i made a waterproof case for it because i heard that it wasn't waterproof in the ocean and so i didn't want to take any chances. It was an ok camera, low definition but i lost it in the ocean while surfing so it didn't turn out well. I ended up just getting a go pro. there are many other cameras out there, wait a little longer and buy the best product and make sure you don't drop it in the ocean. haha.

Absolutely. I shoot this frequently both on land and underwater on an NEX6. Phenomenal wide angle lens - great open and airy shots.

Hi Buying this water proof case depends on what your trying to do with it. If you are just trying to protect the camera from water it might fit in you have a large camera. If you have a long lens it will not fit. At the time I bought this item I had a Fuji S3 pro which is about the same size and it barely fit in. I wanted to take pictures on a rubber dingy but I couldn't move the lens to focus nor could I see through the view finder. I believe it is water tight because they do sell quite a few of them. For what my needs were this item did not work for me.

No problem! However, I have lost 2 adapters already. They easily come off when you're not paying attention. I also change lenses underwater with no problems at all.

I have used the camera in it's underwater case. The video is fine as long as you don't go so deep that it gets dark. The video playback is excellent. I have two of these cameras and am very pleased.

Yes. The lens did well under water. Unfortunately, the rest of the camera did not. It flooded the first time under water. Had to send it back. Amazon was great with the return though.

I've used the A620 underwater with the Canon housing, and it was absolutely awesome. It has an underwater setting that helps to filter out the excess blues that you would otherwise get. If you're going to be snorekling, make sure you use the video feature, it takes great underwater movies! Have a great trip!

Thanks. Sealing it in a plastic bag before going from a cold place to a hot, humid one sounds good, I'll certainly give it a try. I was concerned about water or moisture damage when taking photos on whale watching tour boats given the strong likelyhood of rain, boat spray, humidity, etc. Does Cannon or anyone else sell anything to help prevent moiusture/water damage to dslr's?
