Canon WP-DC15 Waterproof Case for Camera

Why buy those disposables when you can use your ELPH?

Strengths: Quality Canon construction and photos. Be sure to visit http://web.canon.jp/imaging/uwphoto/index-e.html for more detailed info and tips

Weakness: Price, sparse manual. Only fits the SD850IS

Got this for a 2 week vacation to St. John, USVI. We love to snorkel and take photos and usually go through at least one disposable camera every day.

Got this for a 2 week vacation to St. John, USVI. We love to snorkel and take photos and usually go through at least one disposable camera every day. I love my Canon ELPH because of the quality of the photos it takes and it even has a setting for underwater. All the usual benefits of digital photography apply here and I get to use a great camera to record those memories. Other than it adding quite a bit of bulk to a pocket camera, there is no negative to this product. It is very well constructed. Although this is an additional cost to the base camera, in the end it will save money on disposables and the developing of film. Plus I get the instant gratification of seeing if the picture is a winner. I hope it doesn't develop any leaks over time, but I bought an extended warranty on the camera that includes accidental damage - just in case. Bottom line: if you're going to shoot a lot of underwater pics, this is the only way to go. If you are considering it or have purchased it, visit web.canon.jp/imaging/u... This site is specifically for Canon underwater photography and it has far more info than the manual.
I'm keeping my eyes out for another SD850IS (or 2) just in case the camera go out on me - I suspect they'll be coming down quite a bit in price as they age.

WP-DC15 Review

Strengths: Does everything it's supposed to do, keeps camera dry under water

Weakness: the only weakness i see, is they put a sticker with colored button mappings, but the sticker needs to be put on the outside of the case, which would allow it to be subject to the elements.

Works as advertised. Keep it clean, and follow the instructions for use, and you'll have years of underwater picture taking to enjoy (if the camera lasts that long :) )

WP-DC15 Canon Power Shot Case

Strengths: Excellent design, securse waterproof

Weakness: Buttons somewhat difficult to use. Rather pricey.

The is another fine Canon asscessory. The case is very well designed and constructed. It is a little difficult installing the camera within the case. Care must be given to applying the gasket with silicone grease. The case buttons fuction well. The case is a little bulkey. It is a great accessory for the beach and in snow conditions skiing. Overall a fine product.

WP-DC15 Waterproof Case for Canon PowerShot SD850 IS Digital Camer

Strengths: Recently went on a Bahamas cruise. Case eliminated anxiety about dropping the camera in the water. That alone was well-worth the cost of the case. Solidly-constructed, lightweight. Great!

Weakness: None. Would highly recommend this product to all.

Will likely be going snow skiing this season, and tend to fall. This case will protect my camera, at least, from damage and moisture. I will never own a camera again without a waterproof case. Thank you!
