Review on Polaroid Water-resistant Housing for Point & Shoot Cameras with Lens by Paul Wall

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Has kept camera dry underwater

Used this bag for underwater shooting with my Canon Powershot ELPH 300HS camera. Worked fine with no leaks. I tested it according to the instructions before using it with the camera. Once I was sure it wasn't leaking, I put the camera in and quickly dunked it in water to check for leaks; no leaks. While snorkeling, I dived 10-15 feet with no leaks. The body is made of semi-rigid plastic. You have to control the on/off and shutter by pushing the soft plastic into the control. It wasn't difficult to use. The case is larger than my camera and comes with semi-rigid foam to keep the camera in place in the bag. It worked well, allowing for both horizontal and vertical movement, but one end of the camera moved back and forth slightly. I think it caused a little flare in some of my photos. At the beach, I could turn the flash on and off through the semi-rigid body, and it lit the subject well. The only downside was that the zoom wasn't available through the body. I gave it a 4 instead of 5 as some photos are a bit mirrored and can't be zoomed.

Pros
  • Price

  • Mostly good but...
