Canon WP-DC38 Underwater Housing for the PowerShot S95

Great little product. Bought this as my first underwater housing to taking on a diving holiday. The control system is brilliant and it's easy to use. Had a lot of fun diving with it. Would highly recommend this housing for anyone who wants to take underwater photographs. Great value for money also.

I have been very happy using my camera case for diving. It seems great. It is not too big and easy to use ;-) Overall I am very happy with it.

I like this unit and look forward to trying . Canon made which I prefer , with instruction manual and accessories .

Does the job but not really robust. Have had one fail already, fortunately without a catastrophic flood. This is the housing to get for flexibility with INON lenses but is definitely the weak link. More expensive robust housing versus compatibility, a hard decision.

I bought this a couple of years ago and have used it several times, in swimming pools and the sea. Have taken some great photos (in my opinion!) of daughter, wife and fish. No problems with leaks or anything like that, although you've got to be careful about keeping everything bone dry inside to avoid condensation.My only criticism is that it's very difficult indeed to see what you're photographing. i.e. to see clearly the display on the back of the s95 when you're in water, wearing goggles and looking through the back of the housing. That's probably more of a comment on the camera than the housing but still something to bear in mind.

I have had this housing for 20 months now and used it on about 60 dives. it has been really great up until this month. It was very easy to get the Inon lens on and off and I have taken some great macro pictures. However now, the part that pushes the shutter down has become slightly loose and bends, with two problems, one that sometimes you have to press very hard to get a shot and often the fish has gone by the time it takes the picture. More recently at 30m on the last two dives, the shutter appeared to lock permanently on which meant you could only take a picture if you turned the camera on and off with no time to focus it. Washing out the housing has helped but there is still some stiffness in the controls. If you dive a lot it may be worth spending more on a more robust housing. My husband has the Ikelite for the same camera which has performed better.

If, like me, you want to enjoy the underwater world and record it's beauty, but don't want to commit to large expense and cumbersome equipment, then this housing is a very handy option. Most divers who are photographers, will take a sharp intake of breath at the notion of spending in excess of £1,500 on a bona fide underwater SLR system. Most of them however, will want to take photos underwater, have reasonable size image files and a degree of quality, without the cumbersome weight. This housing, available with neutral buoyancy weights, dedicated to the Canon S95 and easy to carry, either snorkeling or diving, is the answer. The housing is quite robust and allows access to all functions on the excellent S95. Handled with care it will last. The S95 has HD 1080p video and the quality of filming underwater is excellent, so one will have both options. The S95 also has Raw facility to keep the photo enthusiast happy and generates raw files of 12-13MB @180dpi, pretty impressive for a camera the size of a packet of cigarettes. Not something SLR systems will match. The other consideration is flooding, every dive photographers' nightmare. The financial outlay for this housing and the camera (if you don't already have one) will be around £350.00 used (as of June 2012). One has to accept accidents will happen. If they do you haven't broken the bank. You won't find that kind of durable housing with any other camera for the same price, given that when your not using the housing you have an everyday, high quality, very portable camera. Fuji makes a camera (FujiF600EXR) which also has a dedicated housing for £380.00 or so. I cannot vouch for that product as I have never used it, but it is mentioned for information purposes. You could spend £260.00 on a Nikon all weather, waterproof camera, but this will only go to depths of 10 metres. The Canon housing allows you go to 40 metres. Altogether a well made and affordable housing without stealing all the holiday spending money.

Für meine S95 bestellte ich dieses Unterwassergehäuse und nutzte es bei mehrtägigen Tauchgängen auf den Philippinen in bis zu 19 m Wassertiefe.Was mir sehr gefällt:+ Erreichbarkeit der Knöpfe perfekt+ hält dicht!+ sehr stabil+ perfekt für die Canon S95+ Möglichkeit für Tauchgewichte (aber viel zu teuer!)Es ist schon etwas ungewöhnlich, das erste Mal in 19 m Tiefe in Salzwasser zu filmen (für Fotografie fehlt einfach die Technik wie Zusatzlichter), aber nach etwas Eingewöhnung klappt das auch ganz gut. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

Custodia perfetta e semplice da utilizzare. Le istruzioni sono chiare e comprensibiliLa custodia é Particolarmente cara ma di ottima qualitá

Le caisson est parfaitement ajuster à notre appareil Canon S95 power-shot. Tout d'abord le poids: Ce caisson flotte avec l'appareil dedans (çà n'a l'air de rien mais c'est trés important en matiére de plongée sous marine.. de ne pas se retrouver avec un équipement trop lourd.) L'ergonomie est parfaite et les touches sont correctement calibrées au S95. Nous apprécions le joint caoutchout autour de l'écran une fois le caisson étanche refermé!Il est livré avec un tube de silicone pour entretenir le joint rectangle du caisson. Attention toutefois un caisson étanche quel que soit le modéle reste quelque chose qu'il faut manipuler avec précaution...Les chocs sont à proscrire et il est cependant prudent d'avoir un entretien régulier (rincage à l'eau et essuyage parfait avant le débarquement de l'appareil de son logement.Nos conditions d'utilisation : (Zone tropicale Ocean Indien) Plongeur Niv 1 et 2 +PMT Fréquence d'utilisation plusieurs fois / sem. Son plus: Une taille qui permet un port de l'ensemble sous l'eau parfaitement satisfaisant. Le systeme d'ouverture du caisson est satifaisant mais réclame doigté et concentration ! Le reglage sera plus hasardeux pour ceux qui plongent avec des gants...Il vous faudra alors changer d'Ocean... !Livré nickel avec Amazon! Fred.

Für den Einstieg in die UW-Fotografie ein gutes Gehäuse mit gut erreichbaren Tasten und guter Qualität.Der O-Ring lässt sich leicht pflegen und die Verarbeitung ist ausreichend.Allerdings ist diese Gehäuse nicht für die Ewigkeit gebaut. Nach ca. 150 Tauchgängen lassen sich die Knöpfe nicht mehr gut bedienen. Hier merkt man einfach den Preisunterschied.Aber für den Einstieg ein sehr gutes Gehäuse.

Bon produit, conforme à la description et a l'usage... mais la description ne précise pas qu'il faut y ajouter les poids de compensation (Canon - WW-DC1)à 36€ sur Amazon afin d'éviter que le caisson et l'appareil ne jouent les ballons de baudruche pendant la plongée!Egalement, le caisson est petit et l'intérieur ne laisse pas de place pour un sachet de sels déssicants... dommage.Coté livraison, un sans faute d'Amazon pour le délai et l'emballage.
