Hmmm. I have the Canon A620, which I have not yet used underwater. Have a brand new Canon WP-D90 (I think, it's not handy), the Canon case for the camera. Haven't gotten it wet yet, but am planning an hour of pool time tomorrow night to get acquainted with it.Willar:TIP: If buying the Canon WP case to use without a strobe, be sure to buy the Canon weight kit. The WP case for the A570is needs 2 weights to be very slightly negative, somewhat buoyant with 1 weight, or very buoyant with no weights which is annoying.
Based on the recommendations from another person who had this camera and case, I decided to skip the weights - he said the weights were really not important, that without them the case would be only slightly boyant. Sounds like your experience was different?
I guess I'll find out in about 24 hours (although not terribly deep, in the pool).
We leave in about a week and a half for a trip so I suppose it would be possible to get the weights overnighted in time...hmmm....just how big a PITA would you say it is without he weights?
