What is the benifit of this case if the Lumix TS3 Digital Camera is already waterproof? Will it take photos underwater without it?

I love the camera but I have had three and they all have leaked after about a year. With the case I think I can get more time out of the underwater camera. Yes, it will work underwater without the case.. I snorkel once a month. If you snorkel once a year on a vacation it should be fine. It takes beautiful pictures and movies with the case. I am happy with the case. I hope this helps.

The case is for depths exceeding the camera's capability. I believe the camera is good to appr. 40 feet.

Yes, the Lumix TS3 takes photos without the case. My boyfriend and I both bought and use the case just to make absolutely sure that no water gets into the camera. Also nice to keep sand out. You rinse the case and let it dry a bit before removing the camera - so the camera stays totally dry and clean. I am sure if you follow the directions on the camera carefully you wont get water inside the camera even without the case.

The case triples the max depth that you can take the camera. Without the case you can take the camera to about 40 feet underwater. If you add the external case you can take the camera to 120 feet.

Without the case, you can go down with the camera alone for only 10 meters and when you put the camera in the case, you can go down until 40 meters

The camera is only waterproof to 10 feet with the housing I can take pictures while scuba diving at 100 ft! Also, if housing were to leak ( not that it ever has) the camera will not be ruined because it is waterproof!

No it is not, but they do sell separate cases for camera that are water proof. Although I have yet to order one for mine so I could not tell you if they are indeed water proof as claimed, last time I priced them they were 7 to 10 bucks, best of luck

Yes, it has a waterproof case. However, you do NOT want to buy this camera. The first one I got did not work and I sent it back to the manufacturer. They sent me a new one. It did not work either. This camera is garbage. I recommend the SeaLife Mini II. More expensive but works perfectly.

No, it is not waterproof. It is splash and dust resistant. In other words you can take photos in the rain or at the beach using one of Pentax's sealed lenses. You cannot submerge the camera in water. It is a solid well constructed camera. I've had mine since 2008 with no problems.

The case is similar to a wetsuit material. Because the flap is not watertight it would only help if you might get a little rained on. The bag, I don't really use. I keep the camera in a camera backpack in the case.

It's not necessarily a waterproof case. The Delkin Skin is just a rubber cover that covers the body of the camera with flexible flaps that allow use of ports and buttons. It will not cover the lens. It is great if you want to protect your camera body from scratches and improve grip, but again, it's not a full cover case that protects the body from all elements.

I spend the whole day at Discovery Cove in the water with no problems at all. It is made of vinyl so it should last for days if not longer. The only real complaint I had with this case is not really the fault of the case and that was I couldn't use the touch screen underwater. Since the GS3 doesn't have hardware buttons to take pictures I could only shoot video underwater. I hope that helps a bit for ya!

I would go with Samsung's specs of 3m,as far as the warranty for water damage,I would check with Samsung. My personal opinion on anything such as camera's,etc. being able to be submerged is that unless you have a secure waterproof case designed for underwater use,I wouldn't use it for underwater pics. I bought this camera to take to the beach and if it got wet or fell into the water I felt it would take that kind of use(abuse) as compared to a regular digital camera.I hope this helps and sorry for long response.

This camera would surely be damaged by submerging in water. Look for something water PROOF if you're going to be using it on the water. A waterproof bag will be fine if you're just transporting it on the water.

Hello, AMAZON contacted me with your question. I purchased the underwater case you're asking about. Unfortunately, it does not fit the SONY DSC-HX50V. It fits an older SONY camera identified as DSC-W150. For what it's worth, if you have some extra money to spend, SONY's waterproof DSC-TX30 is capable of taking nice underwater photos. I got some very nice turtle and tropical fish photos while vacationing in Hawaii with this model. It takes nice pics otherwise as well and is incredibly compact. Hope this info helps.

I have an iPhone 5s and it takes very clear pictures above water but I have not taken it underwater. I assume that it would do just as well underwater.

Yes - I spent hours snorkeling with the case- it's pretty easy to take pictures and water didn't get in. Its a really wonderful product.

It is water and weather resistant, not meant to be submerged for underwater use. Pentax also carries a waterproof line of cameras, the WG line

Yes. I have the same camera and it just fits. No room to spare.I haven't tested to see if it is waterproof. I do not like the clips they have to close it. They are not easy to line up or close quickly.

The outside material seems to be waterproof except for the zippers. I sprayed it with water and water beads up on outside of the case but soaks into the zipper. BUT, theres a foam mesh side that would stay next to your body when carried that seems to soak it up. There's also 2 bars of plastic along the bottom that might raise it off the ground. I would consider this ok for camera protection if I was caught in a light rain running to shelter but for extended outdoor photo sessions in really wet weather I'd be hesitant what with the expense of photo equipment.

It is waterproof for a few seconds but not for underwater activity. I used it take pool and beach photos. I also dropped it in a pool. However, if I submerged it for any length of time, say a minute or so, there would be some moisture in the case. I would Not submerge it for prolonged periods.

The case allows for full functionality of the camera. There are sealed rubber buttons on the top and back to allow you to manipulate all of the buttons underwater. There is no warranty for your camera, but I believe there is a short warranty for the case itself. I'm not sure... I bought mine years ago. I CAN tell you that I have had no leak problems in those years. I use it several times every summer, and have taken it as deep as 15ft. I take good care of mine. I clean it after every use and store it in the open position so as not to leave a permanent indentation in the seal. Hope that helps. The case allows for full functionality of the camera.
