Exceptional underwater housing for photographers

Using this electronics product, our team found that it was the perfect solution for our underwater photography needs. The housing is durable and its construction is high-quality, ensuring that it kept our camera dry and safe during multiple dives. The clear, polycarbonate body was great for capturing vibrant colors and sharp images. The only con we noticed was the slightly higher price point compared to other underwater housing options, but in terms of quality and longevity, it's definitely…

Pros
  • Durable and high-quality construction to protect your camera from water damage while shooting underwater
Cons
  • The high price point may be a barrier for some photographers looking for a more budget-friendly option.

Good build quality though.

This is a good solid body for a camera that Canon doesn't offer a body for. The buttons were a bit stiff and the zoom moved fully in every direction as soon as you touched it. The zoom reminded me of a car door window, at the push of a button it either goes all the way down or all the way up. Sometimes I couldn't get the camera to trigger at all and had to turn it off and on again. Normally I'd assume the camera, but I've taken over 5000 photos and never had this problem unless it was in an…

Pros
  • Waiting for
Cons
  • The list is getting long.

Great case, annoying zoom button

Great underwater case for diving. The only major issue I had is that if you misadjust the knob that controls the zoom and go into the water, hopefully you don't zoom in too much because you'll get stuck with that zoom. Settings to exit to open and repair the case. I've also noticed that it has fogged up a few times, but I think using some of these anti-fog products should solve this problem. I won't know until our next trip which will be in HI in August. Otherwise a great case, minus the price…

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Discontinued model
