Great product for the price. Lots of fun!
Took this bag on vacation in Hawaii and used with with a Sony Cybershot snorkeling and kayaking. Took excellent pictures, better than any disposable underwater camera I have ever used. It was difficult to change camera modes (still pictures to video, etc) becasue you have to turn a dial through the plastic bag, but other buttons (flash mode, shutter, power) were easily utilized. We used the neck lanyard and could just let the camera float along when not using it so we didn't have to hold it the entier time. We had full use of the LCD on the back of the camera. In some pictures the camera was off center and you can see the black rim of the lens on the bag, but that is easily cropped out. If using out of the water I would recommend cleaning the lens cap once in a while becasue water spots will show up on the pictures. Overall, fun to use!

works as advertised and it floats
Great product I brought this to extend the range of options I could have with my compact digital Nikon Coolpix, which already takes great pics, had it installed in minutes and on its maiden voyage it worked perfectly.The most inexpensive way to waterproof your gear I'd recommend it.

Cool Product!
It works! It appears as though your very expensive digital camera is going into the ocean in a ziplock, but it works! We bought one before a recent vacation to Belize & Guatemala and we had the best time when we were diving with sharks, stingrays and other sea creatures! We just set our camera to the video setting and went crazy! The picture quality was perfectly clear and we had some amazing photos from the trip underwater.
It is hard to move the dial on the camera once it is set and you are in the water, but it can be done. It was also hard to see what you were filming, but with some hit and miss you'll get something :)
Also, we used this anytime we went near the water: when we were kayaking, when we went caving (ATM tour) and it worked perfectly. You might get a little distortion on the edges, and sometimes a little moisture in the bag, but nothing that will hurt your camera.
It was a very fun thing and one that we can't wait to use again!
