| Features:
| • | For small underwater subjects, choose the Macro Mode. Move to within minimum focusing distance of your subject and depress the shutter button halfway. Then using the LCD monitor, move the camera to sharpen your image. Finally, press the shutter button all the way to take the picture. Utilize the flash diffusion plate on the case to ensure even underwater flash lighting | | • | The first thing to master with wide-angle shots is keeping the water color blue. To keep water looking blue, first set the White Balance* - choose Daylight in shallow water and Cloudy for greater depths. Then, get below your subject. Aim upward towards the sky to create dramatic silhouettes | | • | Panorama - First, select the Stitch Assist Mode on your PowerShot digital camera. Shoot a series of overlapping images. Then use the PhotoStitch Software, supplied with your camera, to automatically combine images into a breath-taking panorama on your computer | | • | You can also use your Canon Waterproof Case on land ? in environments where snow, sand, excess humidity or dust could lead to damage. Ideal for skiing and many other activities, a Canon Waterproof or All-weather Case provide an added measure of safety for your PowerShot camera on land | | • | Follow instructions for maintenance tips to optimize housing performance, for example - The O-ring is the water-tight barrier that seals the PowerShot Waterproof Case and prevents water from reaching your camera. It is critical that you properly prepare the O-ring before closing the Waterproof Case and taking your camera into the water |

 Good value, easy to use November 19, 2008
Theovinus (Monson, MA USA)
Pros: Easy to install around camera. Gives access to all camera features. Takes sharp, clear pictures under water or in air. Has helpful warnings about what to watch for to ensure no leaks. Though obviously quite a bit larger than the naked camera, still surprisingly compact. Looks durable and well-made.
Cons: Has loose parts that could get mislaid when not actually in use on the camera--needs a drawstring bag or something to keep everything together.
Notes: haven't yet tested it under more than a little water.
delighted! October 12, 2008

I used this case multiple times on a recent trip to Tahiti. It worked exceptionally well, clear photos and no leaking.
Great case! September 6, 2008

Bought the case in anticipation of our trip to Mexico because I wanted an entry level camera to take scuba diving w/ me. I had tested the camera out in the pool first with no problems whatsoever and christened the case (without the camera at first; a must for every camera case) on a 100 foot deep dive. The case held up great (though it was really buoyant without the camera in it). I ended up leaving my SD1100 in the housing for most of the vacation. I took it in the pool, snorkeling w/ Sea Turtles, on several scuba dives, jumped into cenotes (mexican fresh water sink holes) from a height of about 17 feet with it and used it extensively playing in the water on the beach with the kids. It was awesome shooting video while scuba diving too. The dive shop we used sends out an underwater videographer who puts together a video for you to buy. I liked shooting my own video much better.
I see that they sell weights to go w/ the case. Totally unnecessary in my opinion. With the camera in the housing, the case became only slightly positively buoyant. This is a plus in my opinion as I can go after something that floats up, but would be really upset to see my SD1100 and $170 case head south to crush depth.
Couple of reminders. As with any piece of dive gear (and I consider this housing to be such), you have to follow some simple rules. Every time I put the camera in, I would check the O ring for debri. I've read reviews where people had poor results and I can garantee, if you have a break in the seal, you will get water penetration. I also keep a silica packet in the case at all times. I read about condensation occurring and this will be as a result of either trapped humidity in the case (definately easy to do in the tropics) or wide temperature differences between the air in the case and the ambient air temperature.
One note though. Remember that without a real good sized external flash that almost most underwater pictures will be dominated by the blue tones and colors, so set your expectations accordingly. You won't be taking National Geographic pictures with this camera underwater.
In the end, I returned from my vacation w/ tons of photos that would have beeen impossible w/out this case. A fantastic addition to my camera gear. LOVE IT!
 Almost perfect August 2, 2008

My wife and I bought this housing, along with the Canon SD1100 itself, to take with us on our diving trip to Egypt. Unlike comparable, generic box-like housings offered by Ikelite, Fantasea, etc, the WP-DC22 is specifically tailored for the SD1100, and fit snugly in our camera bag along with our SLR and another point-and-shoot. On dives, the housing performed admirably to 30 meters (we didn't go deeper) and provided trouble-free access to all of the camera's controls and functions. The housing is slightly positively buoyant; not enough to be a nuisance in the water. Also, there's just one clasp to deal with when opening and closing the housing - another friendly convenience.
If I have a complaint, it's that the back of the housing picks up scratches fairly easily, and renders the viewscreen somewhat difficult to see at certain angles out of the water. That issue aside, I'd highly recommend this housing/camera combination to any casual underwater photographer.
