worked great I took this on a whitewater rafting trip and it worked great. All the buttons are easy to use and the photos turned out just as good as if the camera wasn't in the case. The case is a little bulky compared to the camera size, but I guess it's necessary. I didn't take the camera to any depth greater than a couple of feet, so I can't comment on diving with it.
great case for great pictures I have had my Canon camera for about 2 years now & have wanted to purchase a underwater case & finally did so before our trip to Cabo. Besides the camera this is one of the best products I have purchased. Although the Canon WP-DC9 WaterProof Case for Canon SD800 IS Digital Camera is a little more expensive than a generic underwater case it is WELL WORTH THE $. It is extremely easy to uses as it works just like the camera, & it only took me a couple minutes to learn how to operate it.
I did "test" the case before putting the camera into it, by placing a small frame inside the case and keeping it in the sink overnight, and as promised no leaks.
We used it on a daily basis, wether it was in the pool, on the deep sea fishing trip or snorkeling in the ocean. The pictures and videos have turned out fabulous. I am thrilled with the new options I have for taking pictures!!
Opens a whole new world for your digital ELPH Very well thought out product and it fits the camera perfectly. All functions are accessible via buttons or levers, and if you're familiar with your ELPH the controls should give you no problems even with gloves on. A very compact housing, good quality, and is very useful for whitewater rafting, beach and surf, and other places besides underwater.
Exteme Usage on Grand Canyon Rafting Trip Bought this case for use on a 6 day Grand Canyon rafting trip. It was subject to heat, water, rapids, bouncing off rocks on hikes, underwater swimming around waterfalls, sand, etc. I even hung it around my neck and recorded video of the most extreme rapids. During those sessions it was repeatedly bounced off the rubber raft, my hard head on one occasion and constantly hammered with water. It performed flawlessly. Everyone one on the trip wanted to know where I got it. My only suggested enhancement would be to include a "lens" cover to protect the lens port when the unit is not is use. There is a nice metal gasket around the lens port and the glass is recessed to provide some protection, however, the glass could get scratched. I am going to add one for future trips. Great job by the Canon design team!
Great product! This was a great case! I bought it for a week-long vacation in the Caribbean where I would be involved in water and underwater activities. Not once did the case fog up, even when entering the humid, hot air after leaving my ice-cold hotel room! The lens cover is crystal clear and seemed rather scratch resistant. I took it on the beach and it did come in contact with sand, but the lens cover is still perfect. Didn't encounter a single leak. I frequently used the video setting and still got great footage. Sound is also available, although muffled. Sometimes you get an annoying plastic-like echo from inside the case when hearing the videos later. If you talk to the video/camera while in the case, speak loudly. The flash diffuser attachment is really great! Especially when underwater.
I really can't complain about anything except the sound echo during videos, but it is a case for underwater PHOTOGRAPHY after all. Also, when taking photos above the water after immersion, droplets do collect on the lens cover. When you're all wet, it's nearly impossible to wipe them away, and I did get some rather annoying drops on some great photos. Perhaps that can be fixed by a water-resistant solution applied to the lens cover? Most times I solved this by dragging the water to the outside rim with my finger. I started from the center and quickly ran my finger in a circular motion, working my way to the outside. Usually it would drag the droplets out of the immediate focus at least.
Definitely worth the money if you want protection from weather and underwater! Don't forget to clean it (just the outside!) with freshwater after being used in salt water! The salt will crystallize on it if you don't. Also, don't put too much of the gel-oil around the edges and clean it off from time-to-time. Pretty easy to care for if you pay attention to the few warnings and instructions given.
