I have this product (the WP-500) that I used with my Canon PowerShot A700 and I really liked it. Other than the fact that the lens housing created a halo effect in some of my photos because it did not exactly fit flush against the lens (I learned to pull the housing closer to the lens when photographing to reduce this problem somewhat) it was great for the price and allowed me to take some nice underwater photos. I got a new Canon camera and I ordered the next size up (the WP-510 DiCAPac) because I saw this product bundled with my camera on several camera store web sites. Well it just won’t work with the camera. The hard lens housing is at least 1mm too small in diameter and the lens of the camera just won’t fit into it. Even though it has an extension for the zoom it doesn’t matter if the diameter is too small!
