Canon WP-DC38 Waterproof Housing for Canon S95 Digital Cameras

I've used 4 different Canon made underwater cases -- none have ever failed. So when I saw the first review, I for some reason thought they might be right -- but no, this case is just as solid as all my others. Took it down to 80 feet on several different dives, no leaks, no problems.

My only gripe with the case is because the S95 is more complicated than the standard point and shoot -- the knobs are a little difficult to figure out, especially underwater. You can use the large dial which is a little clunky on the left side of the case. You cannot use the little wheel option to navigate quickly through your menu choices (the S90 lacks this little wheel).

I've used the flash in the case and it works surprisingly well for macro shots. Obviously, not so hot for underwater landscapes. If you aren't a pro and just enjoy taking your camera with you for your dives, then this is your case. I was surprised at how much better my photos looked compared to my previous... Read more

Be aware before you buy this product that Canon offers no warranty on underwater products ... even when it is defective ... and I just learned today. My housing has permanent condensate between the two layers of the faceplate right over the lens opening, making it impossible to take photos. Canon's reply when I asked for a replacement was in essence tough luck but we're not going to do anything about it. Even though I had bought it a month ago. Luckily I bought it from Amazon and they let me return it. Not buying a Canon replacement. Spending more for Ikelite ... and that is because Canon's customer service is terrible. It is too bad because I thought it was a decent housing for the money and I took some really nice photos while using it. But I cannot recommend purchasing a product that gets zero support from its manufacturer.

Works pretty well. I can see two flaws. Obviously the flash won't work that great because the barrel lens of the case will shadow it for part of the picture. The other one is kind of minor, but you won't have access to the main dial button, I mean you won't be able to turn it once the camera is in the case. Could be annoying if you're used to use 100% of the feature of the camera.
