Digital camera reviews of Aquapac Mini Camera Case
Digital camera Review: $30 to destroy my camera...
Summary: 1 Stars
I read the other review on here and thought, "Nah, he just had bad luck." All the other reviews I read were very good, so I thought I'd give this a try for my trip to Maui. I tested the bag exactly as the instructions said.. I even squeezed it a tiny bit to look for bubbles. Everything looked great, so I popped my actual camera in there and went snorkeling yesterday.
On the plus side, my pictures turned out amazing. I had no idea it would work so much better than those awful disposable waterproof cameras. I have several shots of swimming along side a sea turtle that may be poster-worthy.
On the down side, after about 30 minutes I got out of the ocean and noticed a small puddle of water was INSIDE the bag! My camera was still on and working, so I was hopeful. But by the time I was back inside the hotel, things started looking bad. It refused to turn on at all. After a thorough drying, it will now power on, but the lens doesn't seem to move and there is an error code displayed. It keeps flashing a message telling me to power the camera off/on again. Nothing works.
I did not dive down below the surface at all. This leakage happened just from snorkeling along the surface, holding the camera only 1-2 feet underwater.
I highly recommend AGAINST getting this not-so-waterproof camera bag. But at $240, I can't see buying Canon's official waterproof case either. Maybe there just isn't a good solution here. Don't sacrifice your camera like I did though.
Now, to call and try to get it replaced under the guarantee...
