Canon is a great brand when it comes to any form of photography, from underwater photography to video filming.
Made from only the finest quality materials and put together with so many great and ever improving features, a Canon underwater digital camera is a great addition for anyone who is remotely interested in capturing the beauty and diversity of the plants and animals that live below the surface.
However, some models of Canon underwater digital cameras (and other underwater digital cameras in general) are not waterproof, and so they require a case (known as housing) to sit in.
An underwater digital camera case is basically just an extra outer layer for the camera (like an extra layer of skin on the body) that is made allowing the camera the same functionality as it would have without the case.
Canon underwater cases are each designed specifically to hold a certain make of camera.
For example, the Canon Waterproof Case WP-DC800 is made specifically to hold only three different Canon models, being the Powershot S500, S410 and S400.
This case will be of different size and shape to another case which is made to hold a different camera.
Cheaper underwater digital camera cases are made from materials such as plastic, where as materials like aluminum are used in more expensive cases.
The cases allow users to take advantage of all the different lenses as well, such as a wide-angled lens.
If you are looking to buy a canon underwater digital camera case, make sure and then double check that the particular case you are buying is designed to hold the camera you have.
There is no worse feeling then buying a case that doesn't fit your camera.
Maximum functionality and user experience is achieved with using a well-fitting case.
