Don’t let the price fool you, this works really well!
I was looking for a waterproof camera case for my Hawaii trip. The hard plastic cases cost as much as my camera so I wasn’t going with them.
What a wonderful alternative to taking underwater pictures. No need to spend a couple hundred dollars on a underwater housing case or a few hundred for an camera specifically made for underwater. Also don’t settle the the cheap one time use under water cameras. These cases allow you to take beautiful clear pictures using your own digital camera. I needed a waterproof case for my Canon PowerShot SD1100IS 8MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Blue) and since I already owned a Dicapac for a another brand of camera I knew there would be no other choice for me than the DicaPac brand. This is a terrific way to protect your camera from water, sand and even snow. The optical lens sometimes interfere with the camera’s zooms lens, just make sure to hold the lens from the camera’s view. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Check out the photos I attached to the product page so you can see yourself how clear and beautiful the pictures turned out.
Here is something I found that was helpful since the description does not list the camera’s that are compatible:
DicaPac WP410 Case will fit the following brands:
Canon Powershot:
SD10/20/30/40/100/110/200/300/400/430/450/600/630/750/700IS/790IS/800IS/870IS/1000/1100/S200/230/300/400
Sony Cybershot DSC:
S40/500/600/650/700/750/780/W30/35/40/50/55/70/80/90/150/170/200/300
Kodak EasyShare:
C533/643/653/743/763/LS743
M753/763/853/873/883/893IS/1033
I have listed only a few of the camera brands this is compatible with. If you want to see if your camera is compatible, visit the company’s website which I found very helpful. Amazon’s price can not be beat.
I recently received the two DiCaPac WP410’s I ordered and, after checking one out, was pleasantly surprised that I didn’t waste my money. According to the instructions I tested the “waterproof” claim and found it to be as they claim, provided the ziplock type of seal on the opening is closed properly. I made the mistake of assuming I had closed the opening where the camera is inserted until I double checked it just before placing it underwater in my kitchen sink. For testing purposes I had placed a small toy inside the pack since it was more expendable than my camera. After being underwater about 8″ for around 5 minutes I removed the pack, shook off any small amount of water and while holding the opening at a lower angle I removed the toy as dry as when I placed it in there. Following the beta test the camera was next and had the same dry results. The only thing different this time was that I was able to take pictures of the wall of my stainless steel sink and my face from underwater. While the plastic is a bit thick and can be a slight problem turning any buttons to activate a particular function, pushing buttons is not a problem and you can always activate the camera in the mode you want ahead of time. There is a glass lens that covers the opening where the camera lens protrudes and I was happy it wasn’t made out of a cheap plastic prone to scratches. I would suggest using fully charged or new batteries in your camera so you don’t have to worry about changing them right away. Other than that I would give this a big thumbs up and can’t wait for next summer at the beach (I wouldn’t leave this in direct sun since this would no doubt create a greenhouse effect and overheat your camera). In the meantime I’ll settle for using it to protect my camera from the rain and the high humidity of an indoor pool.

Kept my canon dry!
I own a Canon Elph SD770 IS, and this case worked wonderfully with it. I was able to take some great underwater photos while snorkeling off of Maui, at the Molokini crater.

Failed the Snorkling Test
Used it over the summer and fall while hiking in wet situations and boating (it got dropped in the water) and it did fine for that- clunky to use but the lens was very clear-…
Would definitely recommend this item for those unwilling or unable to spring for anything pricier. My photos came out much better than expected (I use a Canon point and shoot). Definitely read instructions thoroughly and do a test before using it with your camera

great solution to a frustrating problem
My husband and I were going on a cruise and planned to swim with the dolphins. I wanted to be able to photgraph the experience, but didn’t want to buy an underwater camera.

I recently purchased this product for use in Hawaii and it worked as expected. I used it with an Olympus FE170.

For the price a bargain!
Bought this to protect my new Canon 790IS pocket camera when at the beach. More so for sand protection than underwater shots. It does work.

Great water proof case for SD750 !!
resonable price compared to others. I have tried a few times in the water bath and no leak. The picture came out fine even with the plastic cover in front of the len.
