If I had to nit-pick, I'd say the small size of the case made for a few instances of jerky video, but really, it didn't detract from my enjoyment. I've been diving with one of those large Ikelite cases around a Canon IS5. Once in the water, those heavy cases become almost neutrally buoyant, but their mass (and two handles) certainly help stabilize your shot. I didn't ever feel it got in the way, but then I haven't dived in a kelp bed yet, either. My wife and I are planning a world trip, however, and there's no room for such a contraption. I might look into something smaller like what you reviewed. Thanks! Certainly not much to complain about with the video(s); nice job!
