Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon WP-DC4 Waterproof Case for Canon SD600 Digital Camera
Customer Review: A Fantastic Value, Reliable, Easy to Use
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this case in Oct. 2007 specifically for my honeymoon in French Polynesia (Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora).
It was worth every penny paid; a truly fantastic and worthwhile investment.
This camera case performed beautifully and hassle-free while diving to depths of about 27 metres (89 feet). And, the case worked equally as well on the surface during the frequent and sudden rain showers that quickly blow through on Tahiti and her islands.
Even on the black-sand beaches of Tahiti, where the sand is ultra-fine, the water-tight seal was kept intact.
All of the controls were easily accessible, smooth, and effortless to use.
I followed the included manual on where to attach straps and never had an issue. In fact, on most days the case never left my wrist!
At depths of 27 metres (89 feet) the captured picture was a bit blue, even when the camera was in "Underwater" mode. However, this was to be expected and isn't a side effect of the case; and once I properly manually white-balanced, the blue-tint was significantly reduced.
The case did fog up a few times initially, but following a recommendation I stuck a packet of silica pellets (the ones that say 'Do Not Eat') in the case and never had a fog-up again.
I was religious about washing the case with fresh water at least at the end of every day, and sometimes two or three times a day - depending on length of time between the last time the case was in the water and when it had dried off.
As a rule of thumb, I followed the same cleaning guidelines as I used for my SCUBA gear: rinse with fresh, cool water, dry with soft, clean, lint-free cloth, keep out of direct sunlight.
In French Polynesia, I found a good regiment was to rinse off the case using a removable shower head, then patting dry the larger areas, blowing some quick, forceful puffs of air to get out droplets that hide in the nooks and crannies, pat dry again, then leave to dry in a cool, shady spot with some ventilation overnight.
In the morning, the case was ready to go, spot-free and watertight.
I highly-recommend this case as it performed perfectly and was an excellent value for the money invested.
I do *not* recommend purchasing the additional weight block.
In salt water, the case plus camera was almost neutrally buoyant.
In fresh-water pools, the case plus camera was slightly negative buoyant (obviously as fresh water weighs less).
Adding the additional weight block is an unnecessary purchase and would most-certainly cause the case, and your camera, to sink for sure.
