DiCAPac WPS10 Waterproof Case for SLR/DSLR Cameras 230 x 270 x 190mm Reviews
| 73 of 74 people found the following review helpful  Great for the occasional underwater shooter, By This review is from: DiCAPac WPS10 Waterproof Case for SLR/DSLR Cameras 230 x 270 x 190mm (Electronics) This case was a birthday gift and I must admit to some trepidation when submerging a Canon 5D body and 24-105 lens for the first time. Of course, the instructions advise testing the case first, which I did in the bathtub. It was bone dry inside, so I took the plunge with my camera inside. Here are my first underwater shots taken while snorkeling in the Crystal River of Florida: http://garyjean.zenfolio.com/p644207162I set the camera up for "dummy mode" so that I wouldn't have to fiddle with controls. The shutter release was easy to operate. I could not get the zoom ring to turn, but it didn't really matter because wide angle was best for underwater shots anyway. A zoom lens left at wide angle, or a wide angle prime lens would be best. The case seals at two points. A UV coated polycarbonate lens screws on to the case over the camera lens. At the top, you seal the case like a zip-lock baggie, then fold a flap over several times like a dry bag. This seals...

This bag is a little more than a Benjamin, and gives you almost no control over the camera.It is hard to look through the viewfinder and virtually impossible to change any settings. So you'll have to set the camera to P-mode (or "automatic") and hope for the best. Even then you'll have to press the glass window against the lens to prevent vignetting. Dicapac is suggesting the existence of lens adapter rings (which would fix the position of the glass window against the front element) but I have not seen those yet. So, despite all the shortcomings, four stars? Yes, because for a very small amount this bag WILL allow you to use your SLR under water. Although rated for something like 20' I would not try it out that deep, but I felt perfectly safe using it in a pool. Once the sealing is properly closed the camera is perfectly safe and I sense that the recommendation in the manual to test the bag in a...

Despite having tested it repeatedly, it developed a leak around the lens ring the first time I used it in salt water, ruining my brand new $2000 camera. I would recommend either a $500 digital point and shoot, or a $1500 hard case underwater housing. This item simply isn't worth the risk. It may ruin your camera and your trip. |
