Camera-Bag Reviews

The Aquapaq is a great idea, but in reality there are several issues one must keep in mind. 1- There is no written docs to tell you how deep you can go. 2- For pool use, the thing is tough to keep down in the water. I recommend draining as much air out of it as possible so you can control the buoyancy. 3- In lakes and oceans, make sure it floats so you can retrieve it if it gets away from you. 4- The plastic is not exactly optical quality. It is worse out of the water, because folds created by extending the lens (such as the Kodak camera in the pictures) create distortions. 5- It is VERY difficult to frame. You can't really use the LCD in bright light and looking throught the viewfinder with goggles is almost impossible. Shoot from the hip and hope for the best.

After all these points, I was able to get ONE PERFECT PICTURE of my son underwater. Made it all worthwile, but be patient.

I used this bag to protect a digital video camera while snorkeling. It worked pretty good. Only problems I had were the bag wrinkling in front of the lens and trying to keep the bag from fogging up from being in the sun.

Overall, it served its purpose and was worth the cost.

No water got in and the video was pretty decent.

This remarkable bag protects my digital camera. I am more confident taking the camera with me on our boat, to the beach or anywhere that it might be subjected to dampness. As suggested, I gave it the underwater test (sans camera) and the bag did not allow any moisture to enter the compartment. As for taking pictures from inside the bag.... aside from the lense being slightly restricted from full extension, the pictures it took were almost as good as the camera without the bag. An excellent investment for those who want to take their camera with them everywhere in safety.

I have an Olympus Camedia 2040, and at first I was scared that the camera wouldn't fit. When the camera extends it's lens it will retract back into the camera, but if you hamdle the bag for a while, it will get warm and expand a bit, I recomend getting the camera in first (so that the external flash connection faces the open end of the bag), then screw a filter tube to the lens, they are strong and will protect the lens and keep the bag extended, then turn it on. It will be tight but that helps to get clearer pictures. If the bag was 1 inch biger I would have given it the 5 stars, after all it claims to be "Large".

I just got one of these for my digital camera, in preparation for a trip to WDW. The neat thing about it is that it is so simple to use! They are made in England and the company had one of the universities there test them to failure. When it says rated to 30ft @ 30 minutes, you can believe it! The pictures come out ok, and camera's controls are accessible. You won't be able to use your camera's flash, but that shouldn't be a problem for most digitals. And best of all, IT FLOATS!!!
