Camera-Accessories Reviews

I just received this package and spent 30 min trying to find a way to pack my ZR70MC into it along with the extra battery, a tape and the video cables. Basically, the case turned out to be underdesigned for the camera and the accessories you might want to have with you (no way to fit the charger). However, if you want to buy a genuine Canon battery the kit value is ok.

BP-512 lithium ion battery pack gives you an extra hour of recording time when you use it with your Canon ZR40 or ZR45MC camcorder - up to 2 hours, 45 minutes with the LCD off. (Battery life will vary with camcorder model, usage, temperature, and humidity.) And unlike NiCad batteries, lithium ion batteries have no "memory effect" to reduce their capacity.

I have an Optura 100mc, and this camera fits perfectly on it, and you will also get the extra batterie and tape. a good buy for the price.

I purchased the WP-DC700 underwater case for my A70 and followed the directions exactly, oiling the gasket and cleaning it after each use. It leaked and ruined my month old camera. Customer service was rude, blamed me and then tried to bargain with me to fix it for $190 instead of the $280 that they initially requested. The underwater case has a 7 DAY WARANTY and the camera is not covered for water damage. My father had a similar problem with his $1000 Nikon digital which just stopped working for no aparent reason, they claimed it was water damage and tried to bargain with him to buy a rebuilt one for $500. So beware of bad customer service. Canon's customer service has all bad unreasolved reviews at the Better business Bureau

My husband and I bought the waterproof case for our honeymoon and it worked great at the time. Two months later we went to the beach and the latch cracked when we closed the case. After calling numerous Canon numbers, we discovered that the plastic latch that holds the case closed (and any part of the case for that matter) is un-repairable and the camera case completely unusable. We are very disappointed we spent the money to use the camera case on two occasions.
