Customer Reviews

Great Case for All Sports by Paul E. DuBois Jr.
The WP-DC11 waterproof case is a great accessory for the Canon Powershot G7. It has all of the controls still intact. Be sure to care for this case and it’ll care for your G7. Clean it, as instructed by the manual, after every water use and lubricate the yellow O-ring regularly.

Pros:

1. The dial that is so useful on the G7 can’t be used once inside the housing, but its function still lives on! As others have pointed out, by holding down the S (Shortcut button) and pressing down the Macro or Flash button you can change settings as though using the dial.

2. Sturdy enough to withstand some tossing around and drops. Ex. I used this to record video clips of me and my friends tobogganing down a snowy hill. We crashed many times and this housing protected the camera.

3. This housing has a good amount of accessories for weighing it down, getting the appropriate flash, etc.

4. The housing is buoyant. Many reviewers think this is a bad thing, but trust me, when you are taking pictures in a wet area like the beach or fast-flowing river, you do not want your camera housing to sink if dropped to the murky depths of the abyss. Most shorelines and rivers are NOT crystal clear, so the reality is, it’s best that the housing is naturally buoyant.

5. This housing can and should be used for more than just underwater applications. Use this anytime you are going to the beach (misty ocean water coats everything even when far from the immediate shoreline; sand is a terrible foe to buttons, battery compartments, etc.), the ski lodge, food fight, when it is raining, and any other particles that are no good for the camera.

Cons:

1. The size of the housing is a tad cumbersome, but it is to be expected. When packing for trips, store the G7 inside the housing to conserve space. It is kind of a drag when going on a day trip to the beach or ski and this housing takes up 1/3 the space of my backpack.

2. The flash isn’t as effective because the housing obstructs it.

All in all, it’s a great accessory to the G7. Although expensive, it will ensure your camera is protected – and you can do more with your camera in the case.

Canon WP-DC11 Review by Scott
This product worked well for me – no issues. Some people take exception to the buoyancy, but for me I was always confident that if I dropped it, it would float to the top and I could find it again. Keep the front clean and your pics will be sharp. Make sure you use the silicon gel on the seal to make it water tight!

Fully functional by Gionni C.
I’ve read in a few other reviews here that state you loose the functionality of the control dial on the back of the camera with this case… say for instance you would like to adjust the exposure compensation. Yes, though you cant use the dial to make these adjustments, all functionality is still accessible by pressing the “S” (shortcut) button and using the left/right arrow pad (macro-flash symbols) just inside the control dial. Using this method you can adjust all camera functions. Amazing what you can learn by reading the instructions…

Just got my case… cant wait to use it…

Fun to use by C. Doan
It’s of significant size and not convenient to carry around when traveling. However, it’s easy to use and takes good quality pictures.
