Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PowerShot D10 12.1 MP Waterproof Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-Inch LCD
Customer Review: Canon D10 was the best ever until it FLOODED -- NOT ANYMORE,,, it worked after 4 months leaving it to dry on its own!
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay... this is freaking awesome for CANON Powershot D10 - also known as their (words here) PROOF camera...
and this is no joke!
I guess what they meant with waterproof is way beyond its exterior but also its internal mechanism.
I've written a review before about this camera when i got this last year of june. And i totally loved it, we loved it.
And another review after it got flooded.
This is my 3rd review of this camera.
We got this June 2009... Have been very useful in our nature trips both for taking underwater photos and videos... most esp. with salt/fresh water. We've used this in so many places which involves salt water!
April 2010 -- was about to use it for our night swimming at a workmate's place.
Was able to take 5 photos in the pool shower. While dipped in the pool, i tried to take shots, was able to take one shot in the pool and a short video, then it suddenly turned off... Bham! Wont turn on. Looking at it, screen and lens began to show waters in them, guessing water went in the A/V port seal, because when i checked all seals, its the one wet inside.
When i got home, it got even more obvious, the water totally flooding the lens like it's crying and so as the mists on its screen.
So we bought a new D10 for me to be able to use for my upcoming spelunking/trekking trip in the highlands.
My then BF now hubby, brother and I even kept it as a secret from my parents... =)))
I left it in the **** for my brother to use *lucky him* and bought all possible protections for it in case they will use it underwater (dicapac -- weird but i did bought a dicapac for my 2nd D10), and brought the flooded D10 to the US since it was ordered here.
September 11, 2010 -- was cleaning and rearranging stuffs at home... then i came across my flooded D10, no more water in the lens, and only got some few mists / fog on the screen but barely noticeable......it has been looking dry 2 months ago but its still dead each time i attempted turning on its power...
*we have not thrown it yet coz we planned to return it to canon which we forgot to or we can just dissect it and play with it in the future *
i know it's broken, but i just want to mess with it this time, putting the battery on the camera and pushed the power button...
I took my first shot ever since it got flooded...
I had a decent one!
And took more shots to test it...
All photos turned out so fine and there's no sign of weird markings that the flooding may have caused.
Plus... its original canon battery, still has charge in it. The last time it was charged was April 2010, and it's already September 2010. This is a wow for me and my husband!
Now my concern is my camera's accessories which i left in the **** with my brother having my 2nd and newer D10... case, strap, charger, and extra batts.
It's working like its never been flooded...
This is a case of RESURRECTION!
CANON i salute you and i love you!
Imagine, my once dead Powershot D10 has revived life on its own!
To CANON:
if you want to see the before and after photos of my D10, feel free to email me for it. it's even on my FB coz i was soooo happy about it and so astounded. I knew some people who had to bring their flooded D10's in the repair centers and leave them there instead of having it repaired since the centers are asking for almost the same price to fix it...that's nuts.. but hey... this is something you should check on your next waterproof camera, if you will be producing a new one. Test it for the same accident i had.
Though i know people doesnt have 3-4 months to wait for it to completely dry up internally. Like us, we bought a 2nd D10.
This experience from my Canon D10 is as of April 8, 2010.
As Canon announced that they will be releasing a waterproof camera, me and my boyfriend got so excited about it. So we pre-ordered it from Amazon as early as May 2009.
We got the product by June 11,2009.
It is one of the first batches of D10.
Now, we are not pretty sure if what had happened to our precious D10 is a manufacturer's defect.
We were able to use it in our trips:
JUNE - 4 days 3 nights at the shower, bathtub, beach, fresh water pool, etc., with water activities such as snorkeling, etc.
JULY - then another 3 days 2 nights at the beach, with much rougher water activities, more underwater shots, snorkeling...
DECEMBER - 4 days 3 nights with cave tour with water in it, trekking, swim into falls, fog fog fog in the mountains with cold temp.
MARCH - another island hopping for 2 days 1 night...
and alot of dry conditions...
so this camera lasted us almost 9 months.
when i was about to use it in an overnight swimming at a chlorined pool with some friends, we were able to use it in the shower, took 3 shots, jumped to the pool and took 3 shots, then while i was manipulating the buttons for the settings, it suddenly shut off.
so i unplunged, wiped my hands and the camera, i looked at the 2 seals it had, completely and perfectly sealed.
i decided to open the seal that contains the battery and MMC, it is dry.
then i opened the seal that has the AV ports, what can i say, it has water in it...it leaked in short.
i was shocked about this.. i cant believe it did... my dreams all fell *joke!*...
the following morning i went to a local canon store here and bought a new one.... for assurance, i also bought a DICAPAC or a waterproof case made for digital cameras.
i emailed canon usa, since it was bought there, they asked us to mail it them, so most likely we will be able to mail it to them on june, i am in south east asia right now and my boyfriend in central asia, hopeful for a replacement when we both return to the US in june, this time using our new and 2nd Canon d10, newest batch (since the saleslady mentioned the camera just arrived to them the day before my purchase... does that have to relieve me?) for another island tour...Yatta!
an important advice given to me by the store owner where i bought DICAPAC, that after use of these waterproof cameras, WASH THEM IN FRESH WATER (all seals closed of course)... PAT IT DRY IN CLOTH... USE A BLOWER (hair blower is fine) TO DRY THE SEALS (both open and closed seals, be sure hands and camera are dry and no more traces of water droplets whatsoever)...
since chlorine and salt water eventually corrodes these WP seals...
as a best option when doing more dipping of the WP cameras in water, protect it with underwater cases.
handling of the camera with wet hands would not require the case... just if you will use it UNDERWATER...
sharing the photos of the mishaps of my D10... with the lens flooded by water like it was crying...hahaha! and the moist and water on the LCD... gaaaar...
even so, me and boyfriend still loves canon... we got loads of canon items from all in one printer to HD vidcam...

you may also see the underwater shots i had with it both photos and videos...
it has the best features ever for a WP camera until it leaked...=(
