Test diving with the Canon WP-DC800

By Calvin Siew
Jun 18, 2003

There's only one thing you require to transform your everyday stylish digital camera to a professionally engineered piece of underwater equipment--the waterproof case. This month, we bring you Canon's WP-DC800 that is designed for the Japanese manufacturer's new Digital IXUS 400. This particular shell is rated to protect your IXUS to a depth of 40m or 130ft.

The Diffuser
Notice the removable translucent piece of plastic known as the diffuser. This offers flexibility especially if you need to take pictures out of the water like when you're on the boat. The main function of the diffuser is to prevent particles in the water from reflecting the light--produced by the flash unit--directly back to the camera.
