ReviewsThis turned out to be a great pouch to take valuables out snorkeling. I was hoping for some underwater pictures, but that proved difficult mostly because of the swimming, but also I don't think the camera was able to focus that well underwater. But the above water pictures came out great, not like there was a plastic cover over the lens. And if your camera's lens pops out when it turn it on, you definitely need the Large bag. Happy swimming!
This "large" bag is too small to be of much use with anything but the smallest cameras. With my Fuji E550 there was not enough room for the lens to extend without difficulty, and the plastic that tented in front of the lens caused distortions. The Canon A570 in the _medium_ product picture is not much smaller (only .1 inch less thick), but I don't think even that would work well in the large bag, let alone the medium. My smaller Fuji F100fd looks like it would work OK, but something with an internal lens mechanism would be even better. It is easy to get smudges on the plastic and then it is hard to clean the inside of the bag. It is very difficult to see the LCD screen underwater, but that is probably more a function of the camera than the bag. Colors will be shifted towards blue (again a function of the camera, not the bag) unless your camera has an underwater mode -- in which case it is probably a waterproof camera that doesn't need extra protection. It did keep the water out, though.
I loved this product!! It worked pretty damn awesomely, except that I had a few underwater pictures that were distorted by the plastic at times. Overall, it worked just as it should, i got a lot of great images, and most importantly, my camera didn't get wet!! I would have liked to feel more secure about it, but maybe that's all in my head. All in all, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this!
Just got back from the Virgin Islands and used the pouch to take underwater pictures. The pouch kept the cameras perfectly dry. It was easy to use and a good size for both our small video camera and digital camera. We had to mess with it a bit to get used to turning the camera on, but once we figured it out it was fine. The pictures turned out ok. I would recommend this as an inexpensive way to take underwater pictures as well as to keep any items dry when on a boat or on the beach.
I'd like to think I'm pretty competent at doing things. I thought I rolled it up as it should have been. It leaked. It may have been my error, but the point was, it leaked.
I should note I took this underwater while free diving a couple of feet, so I didn't just wade in a pool with it. Maybe that had something to do with it. But the description claims it can handle minimal depth, and I found that it did not. Good thing I tested it out first with nothing important in it. I returned it.
