The Panasonic DMW-MCZX3 Marine Case Underwater Housing for the Panasonic DMC-ZR3 digital camera. You can use your digital camera to take underwater photos at depths of up to 130' (40m). It is also ideal for taking worry-free pictures in the rain, at the beach, or on the ski slopes.
A diffuser for the camera's flash is included. This helps when using the camera's internal flash. For better results underwater, use the internal flash to trigger a slaved external strobe like those made by Fantasea, Sea & Sea, Ikelite, or Sealife. The camera has an underwater mode setting for available light photography.

Comments about Panasonic DMW-MCZX3 Marine Case Underwater Housing:
I bought this case (and the Lumix that fits it) to use while diving and snorkeling. It's easy to use--the buttons and controls all worked really well while I was fumbling underwater. The images are okay, but not stellar, which is what I expected. With my camera (the DMC-ZR3), the videos were really good.
While diving, the limited light far below the water surface makes it hards to capture color well but if you can get really close or use the video recording function, it's not bad. I've used it quite a bit more for snorkeling so far, and with the light near the surface, have gotten some great videos and surprisingly good photos.
No leaks so far and easy to open/close.
