bit-tech Shopping: Canon WP-DC19 Underwater Housing

Rating: 6

Time with product: 1

Strengths: Fairly easy to use, allows full functionality

Weaknesses: Buttons are not well done, Expensive

Summary: This is an underwater case for the SD870. I don't have many complaints about it - it's definitely designed specifically for the camera. However, it is definitely expensive. If it sold for half the price it would be much more attractive. In any case, the case allows full functionality of the camera and is not hard to seal. It also feels fairly sturdy. However, the buttons (especially the ones for the circular pad) are not necessarily easy to reach and to hit the right button. You also need to remember what each button does and practice before going underwater as it is impossible to read the markings for the buttons.
