Canon WP-DC70 Waterproof Case for SD500 Digital Camera Review

Canon WP-DC70 Waterproof Case for SD500 Digital Camera

I read the reviews and I was a little nervous about putting my camera in a case that some people claimed leaked. I took my camera to Jamaica loaded it into the case (carefully reading and following instructions) and it work out great. The pics turned out awesome, the camera was safe from water. I recommend this to anyone who has an interest in taking their camera in or near the water.
If you want your underwater pictures to come out well, you definitely need to put the camera on the underwater setting. Because of the neutralization of the blue hues you cannot take pictures of things that are more than 20 feet away without there being blurred or hard to see items. If you switch the camera setting the pictures come out overly blue or blurred.
Another thing, it is easy to switch in between camera modes. Just be aware of what mode you're in.
Another thing to watch out for is if you are using the camera around water, but not necessarily in water, sometimes water spots get on the lens and leave a good picture with some blurry marks. It's easily taken care of by dipping the camera in the water and letting the water naturally run off or by using a clean cloth to wipe away water.
Avoid touching the inside of the case, finger prints are very annoying to try and look through while underwater or with some type of sun glaze.

Canon WP-DC16 Underwater housing for Canon A720IS Digital Cameras Review

I purchased the Canon A720IS and the WP-DC-16 about two weeks before a trip to Belize. I had enough time to familiarize myself with the camera before leaving, and was pretty happy with the camera in general before taking it diving and snorkeling. The combination of the housing and the camera makes for a great underwater setup for snorkeling and diving. The colors come out just about perfect down to about 10' (similar to using a red filter on a "regular" camera) when using the underwater setting, but going deeper than that tends to produce images that are slightly blue in tint, which need to be cleanup up using an editing program later. The camera (with the little diffuser plate) even worked well on a night dive (in conjunction with my flashlight). For serious underwater work you'll want to add an external strobe, but for my purposes (and I would guess most other recreational type folks) this combination fits the bill with flying colors. Do get the little weight kit that they offer, with two plates the camera and housing is just slightly positively buoyant, without the weights the camera is constantly tugging at your wrist while diving (you can probably skip the weights if you are just going to use it for snorkeling).
