Minolta Dimage X Marine Case

Rating:
Summary: shutter lag
Review: I bought this case from Amazon for my Dimage X (the old one, with 2MP). It fitted nicely onto the camera, but the nasty surprise came when I actually tried to use it during snorkeling.
The shutter lag is about a second, which means that the camera takes a picture about a second after you press the button (see other review). Now try shooting fish when bouncing in the surf!
Very disappointing indeed. I hope they fixed this for the Xt, because the Minolta hotline plainly stated, that it's just the way it is for my camera, not fix is being considered. Now if you shoot static pictures on the beach, the case may be nice, but trying to frame marine life is next to impossible and makes the case practically useless for snorkelers or divers.

Summary: amazing device!
Review: I bought this for a vacation to the Caribbean and was quite surprised with the ease of use and the results that the Dimage Xi produced underwater. I had to occasionally push harder on a button for the camera to respond, but that may have just been because the camera wasn't perfectly aligned in the housing. All in all, it's been a great buy.
