Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon WP-DC9 WaterProof Case for Canon SD800 IS Digital Camera

Customer Review: WOW!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

What a deal! I have been diving for decades. I have been a certified rescue diver, and divemaster since the late 1980's. I have used all kinds of film gear underwater, and several pro underwater cases. That's the background....

I have noticed that Canon offers UW cases for it's P&S cameras for years, and pretty much ignored them. Early this year, I upgraded my digital P&S camera to an SD800 IS, and have been very pleased with it's performance. I revisited the Canon UW cases on Amazon a short time ago, and decided to buy one, as they are DIRT CHEAP for what they claim to offer.

Holy cow! It's a fantastic case. It is rated to any depth that I care to visit on a casual dive (130 ft), yet it is small enough to be used as a protective shell at the beach, or in the rain.

It supports in camera flash underwater, and will also trigger any pro level underwater flash. The camera itself (like many of it's brethren) offers an UW mode that corrects color balance for non flash scenes at depths up to 40 feet or so.

This thing is a dream come true. Every single control on the camera is available for use with this case at any depth. You are not limited in any way. It's awesome...

Looking back to the 1970's to the late 1980's, there was nothing like it, even at the multi thousand Dollar pro level.

P&S cameras have become sophisticated enough lately that they are keepers for at least several years before you feel the need to buy new. Even if you never wish to dive in your life, buy this UW case, and never worry about rain, boats, or getting down into the surf to image your kids ever again. It even floats with a camera inside. How nice is that?

I'm beside myself with the quality of this UW case. It costs a small fortune to suit up my pro DSLR gear for UW work (I rent that stuff), yet Canon offers pro level cases for it's P&S cameras for under a hundred and fifty bucks?

If you like your digicam enough to keep it for awhile, buy the UW case. It opens up a whole new world, and seems to be the best kept secret in consumer photography.
