I contacted Dicapac for confirm correct Dicapac for my model camera--a CANON ELPHA 340 HS. They responded that there is no Dicapac model for my camera. However, the Dicapac WP-ONE DOES WORK. You MUST test the housing before using it (withOUT the camera in it) each time--do this to ensure the screw-on lens cover is truely screwed on sufficiently to not leak. If is easy to not have it screwed on fully and then flood the case. Also, the ZIP closure is very easy to NOT seal... be sure to press firmly across the entire closure--roll tight and press velco. I have not tested at 30 meter, but I don't plan on taking it down that deep (at least not with the camera in it). :) I think this will be perfect for using around water (on boat, river rafting, pool, beach, snow, etc). For a "real" underwater housing, you'll have to pay the BIG BUCKS $200-350 (depending upon camera model). I got my Dicapac for $10 (a returned item) and keeping that in mind, I will use it to PROTECT my camera; not take my camera down too deep.I contacted Dicapac for confirm correct Dicapac for my model camera--a CANON ELPHA 340 HS.

As long as you do not zoom the lens, and turn off active touch screen shutter trigger, and are very careful when you turn on camera that lens pops out exactly in the center of lens extension... shooting auto exposure photos or videos worjs great. Zoomed out, the lens would need another 15mm extension. They only make a 13mm extension, however. So, probably if you bought two more extender rings and was very careful that zoom extends inside the tube... might be possible to work zoom. However, with careful use this case does fit this camera, allowing waterproof shooting near a beach or on a boat. Comes with adjustable neck strap. Very durable vinyl. Lens extenders waterproof and well-made. Filter cover very clear.

This seemed like it would work really well but unfortunately it was too small to fit my camera. I planned on using my Samsung Galaxy EK-GC110 but yeah, this is too small. So if that's what kind of camera you have do not get this one! It would've worked nicely otherwise, these camera housings are pretty nice and it's sad that my camera was too large for it.
I really like my new DiCAPac camera case! I used it on our recent trip to the beach, and it was great to have! It is very durable and completely seals out the water (as well as sand). I have a Nikon S550, and it fits it perfectly. My one complaint is that if you do not zoom in on something and just leave the camera on regular view, a black circular shadow is cast on the outer edges of the picture. Overall though, I highly recommend this product!
Can't wait to use this product when I go snorkeling in Hawaii.
