bit-tech Shopping: Canon AW-DC10 Underwater Housing

Rating: 8

Time with product: 1 Days

Strengths: Floaty ball prevents camera from sinking. ALLOWS ME TO TAKE PICTURES UNDERWATER OR AROUND WATER!

Weaknesses: Hard to clean the inner part where the lens sees through. Fogs up in jacuzzis

Summary: I used this for the first time the other day! I love it! I have always wanted to take pictures near water or in water and finally I can! I only wish it did not fog up in the jacuzzi.Just to make sure the product you recieve isn't damaged, make sure you test the case in about 6 inches of water before using it with a camera. I think that is IMPORTANT! Mine was fine and not leaking so my camera would have been okay if I did not test the case, but still important! The manual tells you to test it.

Strengths: Strong Durable, dont have to take the camera out of the protective case to use it

Weaknesses: The case makes the camera bulky

Summary: I like the all weather case. Although i have yet to use it underwater, i have used it in the rain as well as taken it with me on my trip to india. I was glad to have the protective case which allowed me to take pics in any situation. It even withstood the dirt and griminess of my 10mo old cousin. pictures taken with the camera in the case are no different than those taken w/o the case. the only drawback is that it makes the small compact canon sd20 bigger and bulkier. I would recommend this case especially if you travel alot. I am looking forward to taking it w/ me on my next ski trip.

Strengths: Durable, solid construction. Seals well, and does not damage camera when putting it on or taking it off.

Weaknesses: Some condensation on plastic near lens, so some pictures appear foggy. Rubber buttons seem like they will fade in color with prolonged use in pool and ocean.

Summary: I'm very happy with this case. The construction is solid and is fairly easy to use. The size of the case also does not make the camera much bulkier which is a definite plus. Quite happy with my purchase and have recommended it to friends.
