Discount Sony MPKPHB Marine Pack for DSCP100 & DSCP150 Digital Cameras

Customer Ratings:

A whole new world has opened up to my DSCP100! While I haven't yet taken it to any depth, the marine pack has performed beautifully at waterparks, river rafting, and snorkeling. It's simple and easy to use. Caring for the pack and the o-ring is very important, but also very easy to do and takes no time at all. As far as I can tell, I am able to utilize every function of my camera (except the viewfinder). Of course I also cannot change the battery or the memory stick without opening the marine pack. I spent about $500 for the camera, marine pack and accessories here at amazon and consider it money very well spent.

Upon my purchase of the Sony Marine Pack, I was anxious to test it out and did so during my diving vacation in Belize, Central America.

The marine pack performed marvelously, even at the depth of 34m (112ft) and I am sure at its max depth of 40m (130ft).

The underwater pictures taken with my Sony CyberShot were amazing. The quality of the photos, which even amazed the dive master of the center, demonstrated that the Marine Pack performed perfectly. Its clear housing allowed the use of the integrated flash of the camera, which was definitely beneficial. Its buoyancy was great, and its relatively small size, allowed me to carry it in my hand and maintain my personal buoyancy throughout my dives.

All my expectations came true. Making sure to follow the guidelines when not in use, I expect to use this pack for a long time on future diving adventures.

I strongly recommend this Marine Pack for those who expect to enjoy taking photos during a beach and dive adventures.

Honest reviews on Sony MPKPHB Marine Pack for DSCP100 & DSCP150 Digital Cameras

I actually bought the DSC-P150 camera especially for underwater photography. It was cheaper to buy the camera and this underwater housing than it would have been to buy the underwater housing for the camera I already had, plus the DSC-P150 has better resolution!

I have used this camera in both fresh and saltwater at depths up to 95 feet. I have had absolutely no leakage. All camera controls are accessable through the housing. The only thing I could wish for would be bluetooth connectivity, so that I didn't have to take the camera out to download pictures.

Unless you are using the camera at very shallow depths (where you still have some natural light), I recommend getting an external strobe (flash). This will improve your pictures by reducing the backscatter caused by using the on-camera flash. The camera's flash is so close to the lens that you will catch the light bouncing back off of tiny particles in the water, which show up like white dust. Personally, I use a Sea & Sea YS90 Auto, which can be triggered as a slave (by "seeing" the on-camera flash fire) or by using a fiber optic kit that blocks the on-camera flash and sends the signal directly to the YS90. This kit is made by Sea & Sea. The YS90 is not cheap, but you can have a lot of fun without it. I saved up and found it on sale for half-price!

It is able to withstand up to 40m depths without any sign of leakages.

With time, the plastic becomes foggy, what renders it pretty useless.

Bottom line awesome, but has a five-year lifespan only.
