Thanks for the comment! It's really quite convenient to have the case if you like a lot of underwater fotos. The actual case makes the Powershot look like a toy. MANY children stopped me to ask what it was :). It is made of very clear and sturdy plastic (I accidentally dropped it on stone pavement, with my camera inside; no damage was done, thankfully!), with yellow and blue buttons to serve as the external "extensions" of the camera's switches. One caveat though is this: once you place the camera in the case, you can't turn it off manually. It will have to remain on, but it will automatically be in standby mode after about a minute of inactivity. The battey, however lasts for a long time. In my experience, up to three hours of normal operation (mostly while snorkelling at different locations, using NO flash).
BTW, the availability of the waterproof case for the Powershot was actually what made me decide to buy the S45. Now, if they can make cases for SLR's, that would be really fantastic! |
