Summary: An expensive plastic bag! Save your money!
Review: I received the Aquapac yesterday and what a joke! For that much money I expected something a little more substantial and I was actually embarassed to show it to my girlfriend (yes she laughed) It's nothing more than a clear rubber bag with a nice waterproof seal. You stuff the camcorder into it and film through the rubber. Over time I would expect it to get scratched up to the point where the video quality would suffer even more. With proper care and feeding it should live longer though. I would pay $20 for this product and be happy with it, at it's current price though it's getting sent back. At this point I think my solution for a dust/splash shield will be to buy some good quality sandwich bags and a lense filter. The bottom line is if you need something waterproof, spend the extra money to get a good product that will last. You'll be wasting your money with this expensive plastic bag!

Summary: Aquapac
Review: I think the Aquapac is great! I use it so I can go in the water and video tape surfers, and although it's not recommended (Only because you might accidentaly hit the waterproof latch open) I go underwater with it sometimes to avoid waves. Whats great is all of the buttons are functional throught the plastic, and the camcorder can shoot right through the plastic with no problem.
The only problem is the price, unless you think you can make one then go ahead and save your money, but the aquapac is the only thing I could find without getting $$$ diving housing. The Aquapac is 100% waterproof.

Summary: Great on vacation
Review: I'd disagree that the Aquapac is just a plastic bag. The soft plastic means there's no problem using my handycam in the Aquapack as I can feel where all the buttons are.
The film quality is good, I took it to the beach in Greece for summer vacation and got some great footage.
I'd say its a great purchase for vacations and sports activities, and I even used it for an SLR aswell with no problem.
4 stars!
