Anybody tried the 'zip-lock' underwater case for SLR?

Care to share some experience?

I tried a similar one, many years back. These bags can really water proof your camera, but the problem is as you descend and the external pressure increases, the bag will be compressed. All your camera buttons will most likely be pressed in and rendering your camera useless.

Its good if you are just doing some 'water surface' activities like snorkelling, canoeing etc.

Agree.... bad idea. Maybe workable under 5m...... not any deeper.

I do believe that there is a thread here asking the same question some time back..... do look for it. A few other problems was pointed out there..... can't remember all of it....
