Update a few months later...

First, the camera is not very well constructed. The eye viewer assembly has shifted and is constantly blurry, plus it blocks the back of camera screen from opening. Also the exposure compensation knob popped off.

The entire reason I bought it is for underwater photography - BIG MISTAKE. After considerable use the o-ring stretched out and needs to be replaced. No big deal, right? WRONG.

It is not possible to purchase a replacement o-ring for the WP-DC56. I purchased the camera and housing directly from Canon, but they do not sell replacement o-rings for this housing. Nor does anybody else on this planet. So, I spent $1500 for a system which does not work.
