Buy Canon WP-DC60 Waterproof Case for A510 & A520 Digital Cameras

Customer Ratings:

This waterproof case worked great on the 6 dives that we did in Mexico. It was down a max depth of 80 feet over three days of diving.

The case allows full control of all the camera functions and settings. You can purchase weights from Canon that will bring the bouyancy to neutral. I did not have them and had no problems.

A few recommendations that were given to me that I thought I'd pass on:

Do a "test" dive with the case empty to make sure there are not any leakage issues.

Get some moisture munchers (dessicant packs) to avoid fogging at depth. Loading the camera in your air-conditioned hotel room (assuming you're not on a liveaboard) also helps keep out excess moisture.

Avoid opening and closing the case while on the dive boat.

Rinse with fresh water after every dive.

Unless you purchase a strobe light, it does help to be closer to subjects/objects (less than 5 feet) in order to get better color when you are deep.

I took this on my Mexico vacation and for the first day(2 dives)and it worked fantastic. The pictures turned out far better than I could have imagined. But, on the first dive the second day it started to leak at 45 feet and destroyed the camera. Fortunately most of the pics were rescued. I have no idea why it failed as I followed all the instructions to the letter. I sent my camera and case back to Canon and they said they would repair both at no cost. We'll see what happens.

While I have only used the waterproof case in shallow water applications, I am thrilled with the results so far. I have no reason to think that it wouldn't perform equally as well during a deeper dive (50-100 ft). You can really get creative in and around the water knowing that your camera isn't going to get damaged. The Canon A520 is a great, all-around point and shoot camera. Combine it with the waterproof case and it will allow you to take your photography skills to a higher level. I'll admit that I'm strictly a novice photographer, but you might think otherwise after viewing some of my recent snaps. I am convinced that the waterproof housing allows you to maximize your digital photography experience.

Honest reviews on Canon WP-DC60 Waterproof Case for A510 & A520 Digital Cameras

We got this for our family vacation trip to Aruba, and we took it both snorkeling with us at the beach and just going to the pool at the resort. It was really easy to pop our digital camera in, close the case, and off you go to the water! We also bought the weights to attach to the bottom so it wouldn't float when we went scuba diving. Pictures came out great.

My only negative on this was it was hard to tell what you were taking a picture of. In shallow water under sunlight, the ambient light was too bright for me to see the screen to tell what I was taking a picture of, and I couldn't really use the view-finder with a mask on, so I just sort of aimed in the general direction and took a picture. And hey, it's a digital camera, so it's not like you're wasting film! Just take lots of pictures and then pick out a few of the good ones.

I bought this for a snorkeling vacation we took in Hawaii. I do most of my photography with an SLR, but for underwater the case and smaller camera worked well.

Depending on the light conditions underwater it can be difficult to see the viewfinder, but the pictures turned out well. Be careful not to open the case "on the beach" since it is easy to get grime in the seal.
