Features for Canon WP DC22 Waterproof Case for Canon PowerShot SD1100IS Digital Elph:

For small underwater subjects, choose the Macro Mode. Move to within minimum focusing distance of your subject and depress the shutter button halfway. Then using the LCD monitor, move the camera to sharpen your image. Finally, press the shutter button all the way to take the picture. Utilize the flash diffusion plate on the case to ensure even underwater flash lighting
The first thing to master with wide-angle shots is keeping the water color blue. To keep water looking blue, first set the White Balance* - choose Daylight in shallow water and Cloudy for greater depths. Then, get below your subject. Aim upward towards the sky to create dramatic silhouettes
Panorama - First, select the Stitch Assist Mode on your PowerShot digital camera. Shoot a series of overlapping images. Then use the PhotoStitch Software, supplied with your camera, to automatically combine images into a breath-taking panorama on your computer
You can also use your Canon Waterproof Case on land ? in environments where snow, sand, excess humidity or dust could lead to damage. Ideal for skiing and many other activities, a Canon Waterproof or All-weather Case provide an added measure of safety for your PowerShot camera on land
Follow instructions for maintenance tips to optimize housing performance, for example - The O-ring is the water-tight barrier that seals the PowerShot Waterproof Case and prevents water from reaching your camera. It is critical that you properly prepare the O-ring before closing the Waterproof Case and taking your camera into the water

Almost perfect

My wife and I bought this housing, along with the Canon SD1100 itself, to take with us on our diving trip to Egypt. Unlike comparable, generic box-like housings offered by Ikelite, Fantasea, etc, the WP-DC22 is specifically tailored for the SD1100, and fit snugly in our camera bag along with our SLR and another point-and-shoot. On dives, the housing performed admirably to 30 meters (we didn't go deeper) and provided trouble-free access to all of the camera's controls and functions. The housing is slightly positively buoyant; not enough to be a nuisance in the water. Also, there's just one clasp to deal with when opening and closing the housing - another friendly convenience.

If I have a complaint, it's that the back of the housing picks up scratches fairly easily, and renders the viewscreen somewhat difficult to see at certain angles out of the water. That issue aside, I'd highly recommend this housing/camera combination to any casual underwater photographer.

well built

Gets 4 stars because I believe this is way to much money to spend on some molded plastic, but does as promised (keep the shell o'ring lubed)

	Click!. The No Nonsense Guide to Digital Cameras Review: ... "Click! The No Nonsense Guide to Digital Cameras" is misnamed. It covers a lot more than just cameras. In a couple of hundred pages, it includes using a scanner and Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 to rescue faded, damaged family photos, the basic guidelines to good picture taking, how to use Elements 2 to improve your digital photos, and how to print and preserve your pictures for the ages. White, the author of the bestseller "How Computers Work," knows how to pack a lot of helpful, understandable information in a brief no nonsense book.
	Sony Cybershot DSCS90 4.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom Review: "This Camera is one of the best in its price range. It takes beautiful clear pictures and can be used right out of the box, but its worth learning all its features. The included memory holds about 20-25 pictures so I upgraded to 128mb. I reccomend getting a 128mb card and the Sony camera case. Not only is this one of the best cameras in its class it includes decent software and rechargeable batteries that are at least a 20$ value. HIGHLY reccomend over canon,kodak, and fuji. One more thing this camera has CARL Zeiss lens (if you dont know, great lens) all the competetors have generic lens."

Editorial Reviews from Book News, Inc.
A couple of digital photography experts weigh the advantages and disadvantages of film vs. digital photography, and explain the basics underlying both types of photography. The Grottas provide reality checks on such issues as whether the number of megapixels really matter, and tips on camera selection, use, and e-mailing and organizing photos. The handbook includes color and b&w images, a glossary, and sidebars and Web links for further technical details.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland.

From the Back Cover The megapixel hype
The fact is a camera’s megapixel rating is only a measure of how many pixels (photosensitive sites) an image sensor has…. An image sensor is simply one component of an entire system that produces a digital photograph… So resist buying into the megapixel hype when you’re choosing a digital camera. From Chapter 1
