Holds tight - but limited camera operation

We were looking for an opportunity for a vacation, to take pictures on / under water with an existing digicam. Who does not have waterproof camera or do not want to necessarily dive, is operated correctly with this "bag", we were satisfied.

Anticipation - who dive or wants to use the camera's operation, should look for a solid housing. Maximum depth here is 5 meters - enough for snorkeling.

Negative points first:
- Fummeliges installing the camera - because of the water resistance you should be careful here.
- Camera Flash can be possibly shielded by the ring around the lens.
- Camera display difficult to read due to film mirroring
- Camera Operation restricted - knobs can not be used almost
- Sunscreen leaves marks on the bag

Positives:
- Totally waterproof extent tested
- High-quality-sounding lens cap
- Affordable and available with various equipment

The negative seems to predominate at first glance - the majority of which is determined by the system and not to change. Because you have to spend a fortune for fixed housing, this is the solution of choice for amateur photographers. Some tips for taking photos:

- As far as possible do camera settings installation
- Air possible rausbringen from the case - otherwise störts while swimming
- Camera position firmly as possible - otherwise may Blitzabschattung or partial recording of the ring around the lens
- Flash On !!!
- Diving or water mode if available to!
- No Zoom
- Goals of the free hand exercise (without use of the display) before ...
- Avoid bringing sunscreen on the bag - hardly goes down again

Addendum: After the camera is itself just before the technical end, we have taken the bag more times with for diving. Several times below 10 meters depth, a maximum of 16 meters - sealing. Basically advisable but that's certainly not ...
