Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon WP-DC80 Waterproof Case for PowerShot SD550
Customer Review: AMAZING!
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, it costs a bit more than a disposable camera. But like other reviews have siad, if you spent $400 + on the camera, why not have the underwater case.
I was amazed at how well it is built. I felt totally safe putting my camera inside of it. And it takes great pictures. If you are in the ocean, the waves and current can make it difficult to take the pictures, but practice makes perfect. One tip, when in the ocean try to get as close to the subject as possible so the flash will help brighten the colors. I came home with a few shots were everything is blue and green.
We live near the water and have used this case once or twice a week since we got it. It really is amazing!
Customer Review: Canon Waterproof Case for PowerShot SD550
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best and easiest to use camera dive case I have ever used. If you own a Canon PowerShot SD550 and plan on using it around or underwater this is the only way to go. I have tried the zip bags there OK, but they have some very serious limitation under water. The WP-DC80 Waterproof hard case is the only way to go. It is easy to use any time you need to protect your PowerShot and it worked at 100' like I was in the back yard taking photos. All of the PowerShot adjustments are very easy to use, I would absolutely recommend the WP-DC80 hard Case for your PowerShot SD550.

Customer Review: Best for this camera
Summary: 5 Stars
This case worked perfectly. The only points I want to make are these three:
1.) The mode switch on the back upper-right of the case will easily switch from underwater mode into video mode because it is so close to the thumb and accidentally gets hit when you move you hand.
2.) The flash diffuser does not work it there is any particulate in the water.
3.) There is no way to attach an additional flash. This limits the quality of pictures you can take, and for this reason I would probably have bought an Ike-Light case, if I had known this before.
Customer Review: loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my new favorite toy. It worked well for 2 weeks without re-greasing the gasket after use in salt water. Just be sure to use the flash diffuser, but don't plan on using it at night as it illuminates the debris in the water and that's all you'll get in the picture. You'll need a separate light source if you're taking serious night-time pics. I would recommend getting the weights if you're snorkeling b/c it's a little difficult to free-dive and hold the camera steady at the same time.Customer Review: AWESOME PRODUCT FOR SNORKELING SCUBA & MORE!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very fine waterproof case that has been snorkeling, scuba diving, in the rain, on boats, and through waterfalls! I cannot recommend it enough for the active photographer who ventures into the wet parts of the world! Never leaked even at it's depth limit (and maybe a little beyond)! If Canon makes a case like this for the new HF S100/HF S10, I may be buying a new video camera as well! This really is a great product and you will take your camera with you wherever you go!
