Canon WP-DC34 Underwater Housing for Canon PowerShot G11 Digital Camera
Filed Under: Canon Cameras
Have not yet had a chance to use this housing underwater yet. But if I compare it to the WP-DC12 housing for the PowerShot A570IS, the I have every reason to believe that this product will prove entirely satisfactory. The buttons are large enough for fingers covered by 7mm gloves, without accidently pushing more than one button. The kit comes complete except for weights, which I feel should have been included.

The case in front of the lens spots water. I had a previous case with the g7 and it was fine. This one if you take it out of the water you get spots on the lens now. I have tried everything to have the water roll off, for example rainx and dive antifog – but nothing seems to work. This ruined a lot of pictures I took on vacation when it was too late to see all the spots. If anyone knows a way to fix this it would be much appreciated!

The underwater housing is great. The problem is that if used underwater, it should have weights attached to make it buoyancy neutral. After receiving the housing, I had to order the weights. It would have been more convenient to have the information at hand to order both at the same time.

This housing, a G11, and a one hour speed course in UW Digital Photography from Tim Blanton (Coco View Resort, Roatan, Honduras) resulted in some stunning pictures!

I’m a newly certified diver and was looking for an affordable but good quality option for taking underwater photos. The case for my SLR ran upwards of $1,400 so I tried the WP-DC34 with the Canon G11 and am absolutely thrilled with the results! Some of the controls (e.g. zoom) are easier to use with the housing than without. I’d recommend this for a serious amateur on a budget.
