User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Definitely Dry
We bought the WP-500 for our Caribbean Cruise. It was our second DiCAPac bag (our new camera didn’t fit our older and smaller bag). It worked like a camp. We went snorkelling twice and cave tubing. It worked like a champ. I don’t know what the depth limit is, but I dove down to 25-30 feet with no troubles or leaks. I recommend using the zoom lenses insert. I took it out for our second snorkeling trip and our camera slid around too much for my liking.

2 Stars Worked great–then leaked
I reviewed this product with an ecstatic 5 stars several months ago. It worked great in several swimming pools, on a trip to Hawaii, and through half of our time in Belize. Unfortunately, halfway through a snorkeling trip, I noticed what looked like water in the bag. Before I could get back to the boat, my $300 canon was dead. Before you ask, yes I properly sealed it. My advice is to get the real case, or buy a cheap waterproof model. The only reason not to have one is that they don’t do video.

5 Stars Works Surprisingly Well
I purchased this item prior to going on a Caribbean cruise. We wanted to take shots while snorkeling and climbing the Dunns Falls in Jamaica. I was really surprised how well the pack worked. Not a single drop of water got inside during the hours that I spent underwater. I also used it to dive at a depth of about 15 feet and had no problem. There were only two small challenges that I had while using it. First, if the lens isn’t positioned correctly in the lens tube, you’ll end up with photos that include a portion of the black housing. Be sure to keep the lens in the center of the tube to avoid this. Also, it is very difficult to turn any dial on your camera once it’s in the case. I would highly recommend this product for anyone who wants to take some underwater pictures without buying an expensive underwater camera!

4 Stars Works great!
I took this rafting with me this past weekend and it worked great! I even dunked it in the 55-degree (F) water and took a couple of shots (they didn’t come out that great), but I was also moving and bobbing in a raft. I did notice that my camera will auto-shut off if it unable to extend the lens all the way when it is turned on. I also had a small GPS logger in the pouch with the camera that made the problem worse, but that is my fault, not the fault of the DiCAPac. So only having the camera in the case is definitely better. The only real problem with the case is that it would not allow me to zoom in due to the case getting in the way. I still managed to take good pictures with it, though!

1 Star Didn’t fit, jammed lens barrel!
Though this was specifically supposed to fit my CASIO Exilim 600, the lens barrel repeated got caught in the lens recess, even though I attempted to use the included lens barrel attachment. This was my second disappointing experience with products of this company. I also ordered the bag for a Sony Camcorder which also was supposed to fit, but didn’t.
