Customer Reviews

A great tool for familiy oriented underwater photography
I am a camera aficionado, not a Pro. I had an old point-and-shoot that I was not using anymore because of the DSLR and my Canon S5. I purchased the water-proof casing to take pictures of my son as he learns how to swim. And it is fantastic! You can use the case in and out of water. I have taken it to beach, rivers, pools, dams, and any other place where the children swim. And you always get the best shots with it! Canon's SD900 is a 10 Megapixel camera. So you don't really need perfect framing if a little post-production editing can fix that for you ;-). The case is sturdy and resistant. Overall, this is a great product to have for beach and water photography. I actually plan to get my PADI certification to take underwater sea pictures now! :-D

The other great thing is that the camera allows you to take video, so with a waterproof case, you can now take underwater video too! How cool is that? :-D

The cons: bear in mind that underwater you can't "see" through the viewfinder or the LCD screen. You need good hand-eye coordination to literally point-and-shoot. The case is bulky, making storage and transportation cumbersome. I ended up buying a separate camera case for the casing itself to solve this. Also, you need to memorize the buttons and positions of the camera settings to be able to use them underwater.

Canon Waterproof Case
Waaay cool. The kids love it for taking pictures and video clips in the pool. Haven't tried it at the beach. Case is very well built. No issues at all with it being watertight. Excellent accessory.

awesome case
Great case for underwater pictures. We bought this prior to our honeymoon in Tahiti and so glad we did. The underwater pictures we brought home were spectacular and fun to take & show off.

It's a bit difficult to see the LCD screen underwater but I think that was more due to my mask than the case itself.

Overall, I highly recommend this to anyone who frequents vacation destinations with water!
