Editorial Review:Product Description:The Marine Case MC-DG100 is an extremely compact underwater housing molded to the slim profile of the DiMAGE X. Although specifically designed for diving down to depths of 30 m, the case is a perfect armor against the elements for all outdoor adventures: mountain climbing and camping, snow boarding and skiing, kayaking and white-water rafting; anywhere your heart desires to go.Like the DiMAGE X itself, the Marine Case exemplifies the synthesis of functional and aesthetic design. The smoothly contoured, compact shell easily slides into the pocket of a buoyancy control jacket or snowsuit. The chrome-plated, metal control buttons make using the camera simple, even when wearing gloves. And the elegantly curved polycarbonate surfaces give the Marine Case its strength while eliminating unnecessary bulk and weight.

great device for underwater/amateur photography
purchased the case specifically to take snorkeling in the Carribean. When the light was strong, the pictures were great. when diving too deep, the pictures were a bit too dark. never had issues with leaking or slow shutter speed. a lot of fun to use.

shutter lag
I bought this case from Amazon for my Dimage X (the old one, with 2MP). It fitted nicely onto the camera, but the nasty surprise came when I actually tried to use it during snorkeling.
The shutter lag is about a second, which means that the camera takes a picture about a second after you press the button (see other review). Now try shooting fish when bouncing in the surf!
Very disappointing indeed. I hope they fixed this for the Xt, because the Minolta hotline plainly stated, that it's just the way it is for my camera, not fix is being considered. Now if you shoot static pictures on the beach, the case may be nice, but trying to frame marine life is next to impossible and makes the case practically useless for snorkelers or divers.

amazing device!
I bought this for a vacation to the Caribbean and was quite surprised with the ease of use and the results that the Dimage Xi produced underwater. I had to occasionally push harder on a button for the camera to respond, but that may have just been because the camera wasn't perfectly aligned in the housing. All in all, it's been a great buy.
