      Comments about Canon WP-DC16 Waterproof Housing for the Powershot A720 IS, Waterproof Down to 131'.:

      I have had two of these housings and in 60 dives, managed only two to be leak proof. I tried Canon customer service with the first camera, and they said they are not guaranteed not to leak. Luckily my store was able to get a replacement. This second housing was also a complete failure. I have had smaller housings from Canon that never leaked. I suspect the increased air volume with this size camera is the problem,.
