Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Underwater Case for the Following Canon PowershotCustomer Review: Believe it or not-this thing works really well! Summary: 5 Stars
I am a pretty serious amateur photographer. Every trip I take, I'm shooting photos with a DSLR. I took a look at underwater housings for DSLRs and underwater housings for my new point-and shoot "back-up camera", the Canon SD 1200 IS.
As serious as I am about photography, I am not in the market for a camera housing that I will use maybe once a year that costs hundreds of dollars. For less than $40 including shipping, I figured I couldn't go wrong with this product.
This case is basically a very heavy duty plastic bad to throw your camera into. Use is very simple: Insert camera into case. Seal the "zip-lock" style closure. Roll the case down until it contacts the first velcro strip. Seal the first velcro strip to keep the bag crimped down. Seal the secondary velcro strip and you are ready to go.
Due to the size of the bag, it can fit many different camera models. This will mean that depending on the model, the lens may not always line up with the lens housing, and the flash may be partially obscured by the case and lens housing. The SD 1200 IS fits with a lot of extra space. This occasionally means that when you turn the camera on, and the lens attempts to extend, it will not be properly aligned with the lens housing, and be blocked from full extension. In this event, the camera retracts the lens and powers off. After a while, you get used to checking before turning the camera on.
The flash of the SD 1200 IS is partially obstructed during operation, but it is still somewhat effective.
The only warning I would give is to remember to use your brain when recording video clips under water. I admittedly forgot to do this. After setting the camera to video mode, I began swimming around with the fish, keeping the camera case perfectly level to track the graceful motion of the underwater world. Remember the comment above about how the camera fits loosely into the case? Although I held the case perfectly level, the camera itself was jostling around like crazy. The recorded video look like they were shot while bullriding.
This product is a great solution for anyone wanting to capture underwater memories without breaking the bank on camera gear. I highly recommend this product.
