The cost is phenomenal.

I bought two of them for gradution presents wonderful gift to give your grad.this year...... now I'am ordering one for my self..... I like it so much....
The WP-DC8 allows full operation of the A630/A640. One quirk I do not understand is the optical viewfinder is misaligned with a plastic lever - the lever has a hole, but doesn't allow use of the optical viewfinder while underwater. The WP-DC8, like the Pentax OP-WP2, is hard to use the LCD underwater as the glare from the water surface (snorkeling; diving may be better) makes it hard to see the image. The optical view finder is also useless; your best bet is to practice 'point-and-shoot' on dry land prior to going underwater.
The WP-DC8 housing is huge and can be bulky for other uses (e.g. surfing, etc.). I use the much smaller Pentax OP-WP2 (see my Amazon review on this one) for surfing as the WP-DC8 would be far too cumbersome.
This WP-DC8 housing is also going to be used in harsh environments such as open sea boat uses (salt spray nearly destroyed my wife's unprotected Minolta F100), dirt environments (e.g. Moab, Utah), and muddy areas (Hawaii ranch ATV tours). It is of high-quality construction, although the Canon WP-DC8 has plastic buttons while my Pentax OP-WP2 has stainless steel buttons; functionally and durability-wise, it's OK, but seems slightly delicate. Time will tell on this one.
The ability to take high-quality 8 Mpixel photos underwater for the price of a $199 housing is very nice. I could not afford to spend $800 for my Canon Rebel XT underwater housing, so the A630/WP-DC8 combination provides most of that advantage at a much lower price.
Operational notes:
Make sure you select 'fish' mode when using underwater. If you change back and forth to movie and still mode, you must reset back to 'fish' mode. Movies work pretty well; highly recommended. Flash is not too bad; I got some good photos with unfiltered flash; the Pentax OP-WP2 tends to get weird image flares reflected back into the lens assembly.
Also, if the camera seems to be locked up, make sure the 'display vs. camera mode' switch is in 'camera mode' - it can be confusing when you're snorkeling/diving.
Since the batteries last longer than a 2 GB card, you may want to consider a 4GB or larger SD HC card (since changing the batteries or memory card is not recommended on the beach or on the water surface).
END
This is a very versatile but easy-to-use camera. I've talked to Canon Customer Support once (when I upgraded the memory card) and they were great, but have yet to read the manual. There are all kinds of manual settings to play with, there is also a DVD tutorial available through Amazon that I'm thinking about. Mostly I use automatic or portrait (blurs the background). There's a Canon Yahoo group as well.
Get a tripod if you are shooting in low light, those are the ones that come out blurry for me. Video is sharp, but you can see how much I move ;-) Someone earlier wanted a sports setting, try Kids&Pets.
This is a great camera, the swivel screen is very cool and you'll be amazed at the shots you can get. The more you learn, the more you can do.
The pictures are a bit noisy at ISO 400 and above if enlarged although still good "snapshot" quality. In very dim light (without flash) its necessary to use high ISO and accept a little noise or stabilize the camera and use a slow shutter. The shiny camera case can be rather slippery to hold, I put a strip of cloth tape on it for a big improvement. The computer software provided has limited editing features, I use an old copy of Paint Shop Pro if significant editing 1s needed.
Bottom line: I am very happy with this camera so far, I have been able to get a good picture in just about any situation. It has many useful features the average "point & shoot" does not which makes it a practical tool for work as well as pleasure photography.
