Canon WP-DC32 Case for Canon PowerShot SD960 IS

Comments about WP-DC32 Case for Canon PowerShot SD960 IS:

I compared the more expensive Ikelite underwater case to the Canon underwater case for my PowerShot SD960. The Ikelite had metal levers and push rods that manipulate the various buttons and switches on the camera, which is simular to the Canon case, but the canon has RUBBER BUMPERS on the ends of the metal rods and levers. These rubber bumpers prevent damage and wear on the delicate plastic buttons and switches on the camera. The canon case is smaller, lighter, and designed by the same company that designed the camera.

I took the camera down to 101 feet with no problems whatsoever.

Because the case is positively buoyant, I recommend getting the canon weight kit to adjust for buoyancy in fresh or salt water.

This is a very good option for not profesional photograph doing scuba diving.

I bought this case after I discovered that our new Canon SD960 had an underwater setting, and the manual recommended this case for underwater photos. We used it extensively over 2 weeks in the Virgin Islands and it worked flawlessly. I had full control of the camera while snorkeling, including access to every button and setting. The diffuser for flash helped immensely when flash was needed. The pictures have wowed everyone who has seen them. The camera never got wet. The wrist strap made it easy to maneuver through the water with the camera, and its ease of use enabled me to take photos quickly underwater as if I were on land. Highly recommended without hesitation.

This camera case is very easy to use, instructions are clear and everything you need to get started is included. My camera fit PERFECT. I used this to a depth of 110 feet in the Pacific Ocean and all my pictures came out great. I followed the directions on how to care for the case after using and it looks brand new. I will be using it again next week in FIJI.

The Ikelite case for the SD960 is a by far a better build but it has a couple flaws. Most concerning is the video, camera lever on the top of the case, as it appears it will eventually rip off that switch on the SD960 camera itself. It's just the way its designed. You literally have to strain to turn the nob which will eventually overcome the switch if you want to change back to still or video, or visa versa.

I played with both of them in the store and that was enough to turn me off. I don't want to break the camera and I expect to be switching between video and stills often enough.

Decision made...

I recently purchased this waterproof case for my SD960I for a snorkeling trip to Kauai. The case is pretty much waterproof without the silicon gel that is provided. However, I chose to use the silicon gel when I took it snorkeling. All you have to do it pop open the case and place your camera in. The buttons line up and the camera is stable inside the case.

The buttons to navigate the backside of the camera are pretty close together so I sometimes hit the wrong button. Also, I sometimes couldn't tell whether or not I had taken a picture since the plastic case reflected the sunlight underwater.

The case worked as it is advertised. It enabled me to take my camera underwater and take pictures. The picture quality was decent (the main problem was me not being able to hold the camera still underwater). The pictures came out far better than any disposable camera.

This is my second canon underwater case. I think they are a great product that one one seems to know about. Every where I go with it, I get questions about it. We don't dive any more, but we love to take our cameras to the beach, pool, lake, water park, etc. Our trusty Canon S500 just died after 6 years of hard use and the prior canon underwater case was still going strong. I fully expect this case to do the same.

Only downside so far is that the curve of the plastic over the screen makes it seem like you are getting alot of vignetting in the picture, but its just an illusion.

I bought this product to scuba diving in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

I dove at about 45 feet proof (15mt) and the case worked perfect, no leek and full camera functionality.

I could take a lot of pictures in the beach and the pool, without take care of the water and sand.

I experimented some fog in the lens, because of the humidity in the environment. The best way to avoid this is to blow the case with air from the scuba tank (is very dry).

I have not actually used the case for underwater yet but have loved not worrying about my new camera next to the pool, in the rain, at the beach and in the hands of my children. I LOVE that all of the features of my camera still work easily while inside the case. I also love that I can take my camera out of the case and slip it back into my pocket. I think the waterproof cameras are a bit bulky for every day use so for me, this was a great compromise
