DSLR SLR Camera Waterproof Bag Housing Case Pouch Cover for Canon Nikon -Blue

We were out in Yosemite last summer and got stuck hiking in a complete downpour. We didn't take any bags or back packs with us so my nice DSLR camera got soaked. When we returned I Googled DSLR bags and came across this. This is exactly what I was looking for. You can still carry it over your shoulder and if you get caught in a downpour your camera will be protected. Were headed to Yellowstone this year so I wanted to be prepared. My intentions are not to take pictures with the camera in the bag as I believe this would be pretty difficult but to just use it for protection from the rain.

I got this for my vacation. I DID NOT take the camera underwater in this bag and I do not recommend that you do either! It was however perfect for keeping my camera safe from water exposure while in rainy/snowy environments, on and off wet boat landings, on a boat, and just general wetness. It lasted exactly the length of my vacation: two weeks; then it tore at the bottom. The straps that come with it also broke within the first few days, so I would not rely on those. I was not able to take photos very easily while the camera was in the bag. The description shold be: travel waterproof storage bag for short term use. And at the price it is really a highly refined ziploc bag. It is currently described to be so much more than it is capable of. But it was perfect for my use

I needed a case primarily to keep splash or drips off my camera while kayaking. This product was too small and my camera fit tightly. The seal was so tight that when I applied max pressure to open it, the plastic tore at the seam completely destroying the water-tight capability. It continued to tear along the seam until it was worthless. Threw it away after the first use. Couldn't expect too much at this price but still dissapointed in its lack of durability.

I used this on a kayak trip on the Buffalo River in Arkansas. It is difficult to take pictures with the camera in the bag. Possible but difficult. I ended up taking my camera out of the bag. But it was great as my camera (and everything else) would get wet going through rapids and a couple of thunderstorms. I liked how the cases sealed, it has double zip seal, then folding over several times and finally velcro and snaps, this was very secure and watertight. It kept my camera dry and I was able to take some pictures during the rain with the camera in the protective case. It did what I needed to do and is a great value for the price.When taking pictures you need to make sure the lens portion of the case is centered and against the camera lens. you can see one picture where I did not do this and one where I did,

Don't expect taking any photos underwater with his bag. The area for the lens is made of plastic making it harder for the camera to focus on subjects underwater. Not to mention how incredibly difficult it is to push the buttons on your camera let alone use manual focus. On a good note the bag does protect the camera very well and does not let water seep through. However, that does not make up for the fact that taking any kind of picture is close to impossible with this bag. Rather than having the area for the lens be plastic make it glass so the camera can focus on subjects underwater more easier. For underwater pictures don't pick for pennies and instead save up for camera housing instead.

Used this while doing some documentary photos for my research thesis on Holi festival and it protected my camera great. Hard to adjust my lens and settings but not impossible and the difficulty was worth the ability to not destroy my camera in a cloud of chalk dust and water. plus its easy to clean later. I used a rubber band around the lens to keep the plastic taught so that the pictures would have minimal warp.

Good

It's ok. Used it in Niagara falls and my camera did not get wet from the mist and rain but it was incredibly awkward to use. I could barely press the shutter and my camera lens was too narrow so the edges of the waterproof case lens cover part were visible in some shots. It was also cheaply made and one of the snaps broke off into the receiving hole after my first attempt at opening it. The other snap and velcro and zip loc parts still functioned to keep the bag closed but the broken snap is annoying - basically it survived a one time use.
