And unlike some of Sony's previous "Sports" housings, this one does not offer the option of using the ca..." Read Full Review »

"I had a previous model housing for an old VHS-C Sony video camera that worked well after even 15 years of use and still fit the newer cameras. However, it was big and bulky and you couldn't use the lcd screen - hard to get the picture framed right underwater. This new case does it all. I have a S …"  Read Full Review »
