I use the weights that are made for these cases and they work flawlessy. What's not to like about taking pictures underwater. These things are great. Great for kayaking, playing in rivers, ocean adventures, fishing, snow play, anything.
Ever price an Ikelite case. If you do, you will buy this one instead. I think I paid a little over 100 dollars for it. Great case for the price.
The flash diffuser has saved numerous pictures that could have been blown out by the flash. I stick with 2 because I would rather have my case floating on the surface if I lose it rather than it sinking to the bottom. This is my second Canon underwater housing and I plan on a third someday. This case calls for 3 weights, but I find that to be little too much and 2 weights to be a little bit light.
Has buttons for every feature on the camera, a very nice closing latch, and is a very functional case. I take it diving all the time. My first case did not have a diffuser and what a pain that could be sometimes.
very good product: pictures are very nice and you have a full control of the camera
The housing worked well during a trip to Akumal, I do however have one suggestion/warning to potential buyers.In full sunlight, the lcd screen is almost impossible to see underwater, while wearing a mask. I have seen comments that there is a shade available, this is not correct (yet) -I have contacted Canon and shades are NOT avaiable.
Also - familarize yourself with all the functions, underwater, the markings are impossible to see.Other than those two issues, it worked great - No leaks - suggest getting the weight kit. I will be working on a modification for myself.
Recently purchased this housing in conjunction with Canon A720IS. If I was not, a former pro shooter, it would have been horrible results.
And use the CHDK hack on the 720IS, it makes all the difference. The camera is a great inexpensive P&S.
So you are pretty much shooting blind.
I only wish the housing lens had a cover but it is recessed and does not. Perfect point and shoot and you can get the fish action fast because you're not messing with settings. We got some incredible pictures.
We thought long and hard before settling on the Canon Powershot 720 IS, and the Canon housing DC-16. Easy easy to use. We love this housing.
The camera takes clear gorgeous bright shots. Camera and Housing - Highly recommended. We did not buy the strobe, and did not need it for daytime diving.
This product is fantastic.
My only minor complaint is that the housing is a little bulky, but most will enjoy the ability to take photos while snorkeling. This water housing works great. I have access to all the function buttons on the camera and very easy to use.
