DiCAPac WPH10 Waterproof Underwater Case

Comments about DiCAPac WPH10 Waterproof Underwater Case:

I took this to Thailand to the south islands and used it with my Panasonic GH2 and the 14-42 lens. This bag was a bit on the small side for the GH2, but I knew that going in. The 14-140 lens does not fit in the lens tube (again, I knew this already), but the smaller diameter 14-42 works perfectly.

The polycarbonate lens was very clear, and the camera controls were actually quite accessible. It was a little hard to work dials through the plastic, but I was able to manipulate them with a little effort, and the buttons and touchscreen were a breeze.

It kept everything dry throughout my trip with no leaks. It uses the drybag concept with a ziplock initial seal, then multiple rolls of the bag.

All around my only small complaints is that the ziplock style initial seal was sometimes hard to get to properly seat, and it's a tad bit cumbersom to take the lens off and place the camera into the bag and reattach the lens, but not overly so. Just other options (such as hard housings) you may not have to do this, but then again you won't get one for as cheap as this bag, so I was happy to do it.

For the price I was completely satisfied with the bag's performance and was perfect for snorkling, riding it boats and protecting my camera from planned trips into the water, and protecting it in case of an unplanned trip.

Packaging was great and got without any damage. Its perfect fit for my camera. Tested in bath tub and swimming pool and it worked well. Clear photos and no water leakage.

I recently bought a DSLR camera and wanted a protective case to use when I was out on the river. I emailed a customer service rep with the specifics of my camera and this case was recommended. When I received the case, I found that the material was so rigid I couldn't manipulate the camera controls. The case fit so snugly that I feared I would damage my camera when I tried to remove it. I had no choice but to return it which cost over $5 in postage.

I tried it using a Sony Nex 5n with the 16mm pancake and instantly returned it to B&H, very grateful of B&H return policy however I was out the shipping cost.This product is very cheaply designed and the camera is going to move around considerably in other words the lens and it's relationship to the lens window is going to constantly shift or worse fall out of the lens tunnel. I personally could think of many ways to better the design, but when you are paying money you expect a little more design than a ziplock bag. Looking at the closure every-time in the water would be questionable no assurance you've closed it for total waterproofness My negative is towards other reviewers that gave this glowing reviews - there is NO way this could ever be considered a four star product I bought it based on reviews and am out shipping because of the false reviews.

The second time I used the case it leaked. I can't eliminate operator error, but it just didn't seal correctly and my camera was ruined.

I bought this case so I could try my Fugi X10 underwater. Used it snorkeling and free diving. The camera stayed dry, however it does have some things you need to know if you wanting to use your camera more than point and shoot mode type stuff.

The case is a little difficult to manipulate and you need to make sure you get things set up perfectly horizontal before closing everything up. The zip lock portion needs to be tested several times to make sure it is truly zipped closed. The X10 is a little small for the case and I needed to add some padding to the two supplied foam pads to get the lens in place enough that the photos did not suffer from the barrel of the Undewater case lens. This was easy, I used a gluten free power bar - worked fine.

The quality of my shots did not appear compromised by the plastic lens cover. The only technical issues I encountered were that it was somewhat difficult to change modes on the X10 but you can do it fine, just takes a little while. Forget about the lighter scrolling wheels and make sure you don't accidentally change the drive mode (very easy to accidentally do). Also, make sure you have a quick release strap on the camera vs. the one it comes with, you don't want to stuff that into the bag for horizontal stability reasons.

The strap on the waterproof case is fine for easy swimming around, but if you are taking better shots or diving, you need to find a way to hold it without the neck strap to get the best angles. I had a ThumbsUp on the hotshoe, so this provided me enough stability to carry it in my hand. Two hands work well so you can make sure the lens is seated properly.

All in all, I liked it and would recommend it; use it right and it works fine. It has immense value when compared to the $$$$ plastic housing that is designed for this camera!

I've only tested this product in the pool and it worked fine with a Kodak DX6490 camera. I plan on using during a snorkeling trip to Key Weat in a few weeks.mi expect it will work well there too.

I bought this case because I wanted to take underwater video with my T2i. The T2i body fit inside the case with more than enough space, but my Canon EF lenses did not fit in the plastic cylinder. I wish they would have made it a little wider. In the end I wasn't too upset because I have analog Olympus OM lenses which are thinner and were able to fit in the bag, but I would have liked for the EF ones to fit. The bag itself seems to be of good quality, and it hasn't given me any leakage problems. If your camera fits, then I recommend the bag.

Made my Panasonic Lumix waterproof and now I can take underwater pis and movies. Great product.

I bought this case for my Nikon P100. It was a tight fit, but I got it in there. Once in the case, it was very difficult to manipulate the controls.

This case is made to keep your camera dry, which it does, but you're better off not getting the case wet in the first place. I used this at an indoor water park and it was almost impossible to get a shot which was in focus. The lens adapter tends to hold water so you constantly have to wipe it dry so droplets don't obstruct your shot... kinda difficult to keep a dry cloth on you when you're in the water. Bottom line, my camera stayed dry. That's about it.

I've used this thing for snorkeling and just being out in the rain and it has worked great. It's a little tough to adjust settings because I have a click wheel on my camera, but other than that It's been great. The neck strap is a little long (but I am pretty short) but It's kept the water off my camera so I've been pleased.
