Review on πŸ“· Panasonic DMW-MCFT2 Clear/White Marine Case for Compatible Lumix Cameras by Patrick Stephani

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Tight but shiny

I used this bag while diving in shallow water last week and it worked great. It was tight and there was no fogging. The recordings were good on the surface (no distortion) and also in the water (we only descended 35-40 feet due to the extremely cold conditions). The main problem with the body is how to install an external flash for the best color. The housing easily attaches to the mount, but there's no easy way to connect the flash trigger cable. I spoke to the folks at Backscatter (a well-known dive camera shop with a website Revain doesn't link to) and they said they could build something but plan on spending at least $500 (more like $800) to get a decent flash to get with mounting material. So a bag is great if you want to keep your waterproof camera dry. and if you're shooting on the surface, the built-in flash is probably fine, but budget for the extra expense and headache if you want vivid color.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • protection
