Customer Reviews
Good accessory for your A570
Well built case with accessible controls, even with 5mm gloves.
Make sure you follow the directions when preparing for dive and keep the lense clean.
Works fine but one annoying thing...
This is the second underwater housing that I have owned from Canon.
The housing is simple to maintain and keeps a good seal. I've had the camera drag through the sand in Monterey without many mishaps. Canon sells weights to get the housing closer to neutral bouyancy that I recommend.
The one annoying thing about the housing is that the diffuser just clips on the lens extension. I find the diffuser comes off at the worst times. My previous housing, WP-DC30, had an actual extension from the housing that the diffuser slid into. If this housing had a similiar method for holding the diffuser, I would give it five stars.
Works as advertised
I bought this case for my A570 for a trip to Kauai, HI. Tested it in my sink at home first and everything seemed OK. I then tried it while snorkeling with my niece, and again in the pool back at the hotel. I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of the pictures, and the camera survived without a drop of water on it. All of the controls on the camera are easily accessible via some clever (and waterproof) mechanical engineering. My only recommendation is not to bother with the long neck strap for snorkeling, since all it does is get in the way and get wet. If you drop the thing it's just going to bob back up to the surface anyway. The only downside is that it about doubles the size of the little camera, so it's a bit inconvenient for taking on hikes, etc. when some rain-proofing might come in handy.
