 Great add on for S90 July 22, 2010
Bookworm
I used the housing to make several movies and pictures in the swimming pool with the kids and they love the results as much as I do. The build quality seems very good to me, and even the operation all of the camera's features (except for the dial on the back of the camera, which is not a real issue to me) is extremely easy.
The lens glass is coated and my first impression is that it does not loose a lot of light compared to regular camera shots without the housing. Also water drips of easily from the coating, so out of water pictures are hardly disturbed by water drops on the housing lens.
I have not tested the housing to depth and I did not plan to do so. I just want to use it for swimming pool/beach use or snorkeling at max. And for that it is a lot of fun and adding an extra dimension to making pictures.
Regarding the price, it is difficult to say if it is really worth it. I can imagine that for snorkeling or diving this is a very good and price worthy alternative to more professional and more expensive solutions. For beach and swimming pool use it is a lot of money, but for me personally I have great new type of pictures and videos of my kids now that I normally would never have. My kids love watching them. So for me - in terms of creating new type of memories - it is definitely worth it and the housing is a cool thing to have.

Great Case June 3, 2010

This case is great for what it does. I usually expect to pay a lot more for underwater housing. I agree with one of the other reviews that Canon should have included a couple of weights. The only complaint I have is that they went to all the trouble to include the front ring adjuster but don't have any way to adjust the back ring. This means that you can't have it on fully manual to do aperture and shutter speed. I found a way around it by setting aperture and then using the over - under exposure button but it should be easier. The camera is awesome for underwater (see the slug and cuttle fish pictures) but I won't use flash until I have an off camera option.

Arrived new in excellent condition. A bit expensive but who wants water in their camera by saving a few dollars.

Very cost effective method of underwater photography. There are a few alternatives for the S90 but are several times more expensive. Never used the more expensive cases but cant imagine what how you could get more for the money.
Strongly recommend.
