Aquapac Compact Camera Cases
Aquapac Compact Camera Cases are Aquapac's most affordable solutions to keeping your camera dry. Less of an investment than a waterproof camera and cheaper than other waterproof cases on the market, Aquapac gives you the assurance you need that your camera will be protected.
These cases mean that you can take your camera on a boat or to the beach and not worry about it being splashed or damaged by sand or water. It is submersible to 15 feet so you can even take pictures underwater. It will also float if you drop it in the water, which is really handy if it falls off the side of the boat!
Aquapac Compact Camera Cases make taking pictures on the beach or in the sea far easier and stress free!

What Does 'Submersible' Mean?
The Aquaclip sealing system used on this Aquapac has been independently tested by the world-famous Engineering Research Centre at Imperial College, London. It's guaranteed waterproof to the international standard IPX8, which is as waterproof as you can get. It means that if you really want to, you can hold it 15 feet (5 m) underwater for half an hour safe in the knowledge that the contents will stay completely safe and dry.

Advantages
I was particularly pleased when I tested the Aquapac Compact Camera Case for the first time at the beach. I always worry about taking a camera with me because it's so easy to damage it with sand or water so buying one of these seemed like a good idea. I was impressed with the quality of pictures I was able to take through the window as the images didn't seem to be affected. What I also noticed was how easy it was to use the buttons through the material. It's a great way to protect your camera around children as well as they seem to have a habit of dropping it in the sand! I took the plunge later on at the pool by taking it for a swim with me and was pleased to find my camera remained dry when I took it out afterwards. It was also still easy to use the buttons through the case even in the water.
Disadvantages
Though the case worked well and produced good pictures, when the flash was used it didn't always work as well through the window due to reflections.
