Panasonic Underwater Digital Cameras

I own a panasonic HVX200 and a canon 7D. Underwater casings for these cameras would cost thousands. For under 30 bucks, I purchased this aqua pac and filmed my entire beach vacation in the water and on the sand. I was still able to use the touch screen and make calls through the aqua pac. I converted the iPhone clips to an HD size that will fit the aspect ratios of both my HVX and 7D. The quality looks great and has a unique look. Submersible up to 15 ft, the Whanganui Aqua Pac is perfect for friend and family fun in an environment not suitable for electronics. Pool use would be amazing! This case is a MUST have for anyone with an iPhone.

I have 1 for each of my 4 digital cameras because they are the do everything lens.

I use my Pelican Case to hold and transport the underwater housing for my Panasonic Lumix camera. I feel as though the contents of the case are completely protected.

This lens is absolutelly marvellous. It is razor sharp from f2.8 to f7.1 (the sweet spot is f4-5.6), very usable to f16-18 and, if you need super sharp images you should avoid f20-22. Comparing to Olympus 60mm, that I also own, this lens is significantly sharper and holds it's sharpness better for a wider apperture range. The Olympus is also a very good lens and produces fantastic images, but there is something about this Panasonic that gives that extra wow factor, specially in super macro images. Both Panasonic and Olympus macro lenses are better than the highly appreciated and award winnig Sigma 70mm f2.8 macro, which I also own. I've been using the Panasonic (and Olympus) for underwater photography, and I strongly recomend it. The difference in focus distance to 1:1 when compared to Olympus is 2cm and could be a down side when shooting supermacro with wetdiopters. My experience says that this is not significant even with +15 diopters (the focus difference between the two at maximum amplitude is about 5mm). There is a slight advantage in the Olympus if you need more distance, and the same magnification to make the photo, on the other hand the hyperfocal distance of the Panasonic is smaller which is an advantage for underwater pics. The focus hunt that some complain about does not differ significantly from other macro lenses. Manual focus, although by wire, is really nice to use and far better than the one from Olympus. On the other hand the 1:1 lens button from Olympus is fantastic for land macro photography (not usable underwater). My veredicto is that the Panasonic is a fantastic investment.

Works as advertised with both my Olympus & Panasonic cameras.

I'm a recreational underwater photographer. Diving is expensive. I need every advantage I can get when taking pictures. It only makes sense to use the best possible film. Velvia 50 is the best film for UW. After flooding two digital camera UW housings I went back to Nikonos cameras and my pictures are better than digital ever was.

I purchased this product for a Canon D10 underwater digital Camera. I was looking for a bag that would not ruin if it got wet, was in the sun or on the beach. This bag is small and has a draw string to pull the pouch closed. It also has a clip attached to the bag that makes it easily attachable to a backpack, messenger briefcase or belt loops. It's small, compact, soft and inexpensive. It is not crush proof so I would not recommend it for a camera or equipment that is not too rugged. The Canon D10 is waterproof and shockproof so this was a perfect fit to protect it from scratches and other dings, while providing it with a protective carrying case. For the Price you cannot go wrong.

Great for digital cameras. Long lasting.

Lumix is the best brand of digital cameras so I would not use anything but the best battery in them.
