The case seemed secure and watertight although I didn’t ttake it in the water. When I tested the camera usinf the flash. there was a dark banner along the bottom of the picture.

The case works. Its easy to put on and take off, and it has a button for every part of the camera (G7) so you don’t lose any capabilities. You just have to remember to wipe the water spots off the front lens, cause its easy to see past them, but they really show up in the pics.

I’ve had this UW housing for quite some time now and it has worked flawlessly. It’s bulky but it keeps the water out when I snorkel with the G7. I haven’t tried the weights because I’m afraid I might accidently let it go sometime and lose it, but on the other hand, it’s pretty bouyant so that can get kind of aggravating too since it wants to pop to the surface – pick your poison, right?
If you have a Canon G7 – it works. And it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg like Ikelite or others.

The WP-DC11 waterproof case is a great accessory for the Canon Powershot G7. It has all of the controls still intact. Be sure to care for this case and it’ll care for your G7. Clean it, as instructed by the manual, after every water use and lubricate the yellow O-ring regularly.
Pros:
1. The dial that is so useful on the G7 can’t be used once inside the housing, but its function still lives on! As others have pointed out, by holding down the S (Shortcut button) and pressing down the Macro or Flash button you can change settings as though using the dial.
2. Sturdy enough to withstand some tossing around and drops. Ex. I used this to record video clips of me and my friends tobogganing down a snowy hill. We crashed many times and this housing protected the camera.
3. This housing has a good amount of accessories for weighing it down, getting the appropriate flash, etc.
4. The housing is buoyant. Many reviewers think this is a bad thing, but trust me, when you are taking pictures in a wet area like the beach or fast-flowing river, you do not want your camera housing to sink if dropped to the murky depths of the abyss. Most shorelines and rivers are NOT crystal clear, so the reality is, it’s best that the housing is naturally buoyant.
5. This housing can and should be used for more than just underwater applications. Use this anytime you are going to the beach (misty ocean water coats everything even when far from the immediate shoreline; sand is a terrible foe to buttons, battery compartments, etc.), the ski lodge, food fight, when it is raining, and any other particles that are no good for the camera.
Cons:
1. The size of the housing is a tad cumbersome, but it is to be expected. When packing for trips, store the G7 inside the housing to conserve space. It is kind of a drag when going on a day trip to the beach or ski and this housing takes up 1/3 the space of my backpack.
2. The flash isn’t as effective because the housing obstructs it.
All in all, it’s a great accessory to the G7. Although expensive, it will ensure your camera is protected – and you can do more with your camera in the case.

This product worked well for me – no issues. Some people take exception to the buoyancy, but for me I was always confident that if I dropped it, it would float to the top and I could find it again. Keep the front clean and your pics will be sharp. Make sure you use the silicon gel on the seal to make it water tight!
