5 Stars Fabulous!
I bought this product 4 days before leaving for Australia. I wanted a housing to use while snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef. It arrived on time and worked wonderfully! No leaks, no worries. All camera functions were fully accessible. The only issue was with the flash not being able to be fully utilized. This wasn’t a huge problem during my visit – we were in shallow water during the day… but if it was darker or deeper it may have been an issue.
5 Stars Expand the your DCS-W150, W170, W300 for under water pix
This under water housing is an inexpensive way to expand your Cybershot camera for underwater use. I have used this enclosure with a Cybershot W170 for about a year in places like Bonaire and Cozumel for scuba diving to 110 ft and it protects and functions flawlessly.
The case allows you access to all the camera controls, comes with everything you need and has a glass lense cover for clarity. The case does block the flash but the included diffuser spreads light adequately for close-up shots even at night. If you want better color saturation definetly get a strobe.
What makes the DSC-W170 such a great match to this this housing is the superior Zeiss optics, 10 mg photos, 5x Optical zoom, movie mode and best of all an underwater mode with several color correction options to reduce the blue or green you typically get in deeper water.
If you want to start taking under water pictures, like the convenience of not having to buy a bulky underwater camera (dual use cameras are usually chunky), all for well under $400 dollars, this duo (DSC-W170/MPK-WD) can’t be beat.
5 Stars Must-have accessory for the camera
I recently replaced our old Sony Camera with a W300, and bought the Marine Pack for it. We just returned from a cruise, and I was extremely impressed with both camera and case. The case is a little bulky, but very user-friendly–the buttons allow for complete control of the camera. I used the case in the swimming pool on board ship with the kids, and got some great underwater shots of them swimming. I then took it snorkelling and diving, and again got fantastic shots of marine life. The camera was easy to use in the case, and the buttons for zoom/wide-angle, flash, picture review and mode selector were easily accessed even underwater. My only complaint about the unit is that the flared design of the lens housing covers the flash, so the flash is useless with the Marine Pack. If I were to go diving again, I would purchase the separate flash unit to eliminate this problem. A minor flaw in an otherwise well designed, functional case. I would recommend taking care not to scratch the lens cover–I didn’t scratch mine, but it looks ilke it could be vulnerable.
5 Stars Awesome!!!
Great product for those who like to dive or just to take pictures under water. Good price and great product. I highly recommend it.
5 Stars Sony MPK-WD worked great on our cruise.
The sony waterproof case worked great we used it for snorkeling in Cozumel and the Bahamahas. Then in Belize we used it on our cave tubing excursion. took great pics and video, cant speak for deep water because we where no more than 12 – 15ft. deep at the most.It did take good pics both in and out of the water. It was sometimes hard to see the screen underwater but that was probably more my goggles than the case. Flash still works and seems to do a good job with the difuser that is included.
All in all the product worked great for us and we hope to have lots more chances to use it. Hopefully next time we can try it SCUBA diving.
