Canon WP-DC37 Waterproof Case for Canon SD1400IS Digital Camera

You can't access all the camera's functions using this case. It does not give you access to five buttons on the camera. I have a Canon underwater case for the A570is, which led me to purchase this one, and you are able to access every button on the camera while it's inside the case. This case only gives you access to: power, zoom in/out, shutter, left (macro/landscape), right (flash) and playback. You do not have access to: Disp, Menu, Func/ok, up or down. This is not mentioned anywhere in the description.

So what does all this mean? You are limited in the camera modes and options. You can't customize your features in the P mode. Out of all the modes the camera supports, you can only use: Auto, Underwater, Snow, Beach and whichever video mode you have it set to (you can only change it if you take it out of the case, it would have been nice to have a Underwater, Beach and Snow video mode as well, but that's a drawback on the sd1400 not the case). You can't: set the... Read more

Love this camera and housing. I wrote my first review on just the 1400 camera. Check that out too. As the reviewer said above you are limited to certain buttons, but I guess as a novice photographer I did not notice how not having extra buttons hindered my photography.

Never had a leak. Did get some condensation once, but left the camera and case in ac overnight. Put them back together, with gel pack and did not have any other problems. I used the macro, normal, and infinity modes on camera and all worked well. Underwater photography is tricky with the blues so I would just take a lot of pictures in many different ways. I was not disappointed. You still can zoom in on objects and take great pictures. We took this on a night dive, and it was the time it had condensation in it, and the pictures still turned out impressive. We just had to... Read more

I bought this case for a dive trip to Cozumel. I read both of the other reviews on Amazon (a one star and five star), and was a little concerned about the price vs. the value of the case.

I purchased this case for $197 on another site and had absolutely no problems. The features of the camera are limited, but for underwater photographs and video and had absolutely no problems. There was no fogging of the lens and my pictures were clear. I dove to 70 feet without any leaks.

Definitely worth the price for the memories of diving in Cozumel.
