UW photo: Housing for Canon Digital IXUS?

[Stalker]

Hi

I have a Canon Digital IXUS v2 (PowerShot S220 Digital Elph) and would like to use it under water. I'm thinking of buying the Canon WP-DC600 that is specially made for this camera and goes to -30m:

Does anyone have any experience with this housing? Easy to use the buttons and see the LCD screen? How does the flash do under water?

An comments appreciated - thanks!

I have about an hour experience now

Works fine, easy to see the LCD throught the housing, all buttons and functions accessible.

Here are some pictures taken with it: http://superelectric.net/dykking/

Dykking. Interesting.....

Nice pool. I don't think we have such deep pools here...
(we got the sea instead).

I d/led your movie, but after half a minute or so, it freezes frames and changes them every few seconds, I also d/led the latest DivX version, so I don't think it's the codec's fault.

Good choice on the soundtrack - Air.

Keep me posted if you update anything there... especially movies.
