Canon WP-DC15 Waterproof Case for Canon SD850 Digital Camera Review
I got this waterproof case for a 12 day sailing & snorkeling trip to the British Virgin Islands (BVIs) as part of a 54 person sailing club trip. I thought the case was rather expensive, but in hindsight, it was totally worth it. I never took the camera out of the case, as I had a 4 GB memory card & did only limited videos. People commented on my camera and often borrowed it to take pictures, and I ended up with almost 650 pictures on the card, which I shared with all. Many people commented on the many excellent photos taken, not all by me, but people who borrowed it with no experience with the camera or case! I noticed one picture is now the person's personal Facebook picture.
The case took excellent photos above and below the water's surface. Its excellent controls allowed easy control of the camera above or below water. The only negative thing was it was hard to see the picture in the camera's LCD display underwater, or especially the video, because of the too dim camera's LCD display. Except for the too dim display, the camera was as easy to use underwater as above and remarkably neutrally buoyant (neither floated nor sunk), which is another testament to the case's excellent engineering.
I never used the flash diffuser, which would have likely greatly helped underwater flash shots, of which I took very few and did not come out well.
Only hint I would offer is that you should have a clean, soft dry cloth handy to wipe the inevitable water spots on the case's lens window when you are near water.
Conclusion: Why get some cheap, dysfunctional case when you will likely take nearly priceless pictures on a trip costing many times more? Excellent case that is totally worth its price!
