Electronics : Canon WP-DC14 Waterproof Case For Digital IXUS 75

Rating: - Suspect at depth?
Returned from Red Sea with some excellent photos, however experienced intermittent problems with use of this housing together with my IXUS 75. At 25m plus certain buttons were disabled - specifically the buttons to switch flash on and off, and also the button to switch between macro and normal lense.

For the rest of the dive, even when I ascended to shallower depths, the problem persisted. Only when I got into the top 5m would the buttons become enabled.

To test the camera, I borrowed someone elses IXUS 75 - results slightly different. Generally did not disable, except at one dive (out of 5), but at nearly 30m - however on ascent to low 20's the camera suddenly started working?!

The housing is supposed to work down to 40m - so with both cameras the housing is not working to spec - although with one camera the problem is encountered much less.

Rating: - A much better product than I expected
I don't usually bother to write these customer reviews from Amazon or anywhere else but this time I felt I had too. I bought this waterproof case together with the Ixus 75 during one of Amazon's offers. The WP-DC14 turned out to be an excellent design, a perfect fit with little rubber buffers that hold the camera exactly in place. All the camera functions operate fine when using the housing, I'm not sure how long it would last on the beach with sand getting into the control buttons and levers but the Ixus wouldn't survive at all without it.
