Ever use a vinyl waterproof case for a digital camera?

by Paleontour

I wanted to buy a waterproof hard plastic case for my camera, but this PVC vinyl bag seems to be the only option. Anyone ever use one of these PVC vinyl cases; If so are they reliable? Thanks for any info!

Are you looking for a carrying case or an underwater housing to take underwater and shoot with. The bag you show is not a right underwater housing.

If you want a waterproof hard case to transport the camera you really should look pelican cases. They are waterproof and nearly indestructable

If you want a housing then stay away from the bag types. You may want to look here

For some reason, I kept this Canon Powershot S230 digital camera that I bought back in 2003. This is THE OLDEST digital camera in my posession—the next oldest digital camera I own is a 5D Mk2.

I kept it for this long, not because that I like this camera for its quality–it’s just that I never bothered promotion it while it was worth something. But, now I’ll never sell it because it has be converted into the ONLY camera that I feel attached to for many personal reasons.

I also got a Canon underwater housing for this camera. Occasionally, I’ll take the camera to the pool, or everywhere ever I don’t want to get my other cameras wet.

It’s a small camera but weighs more than the Dlux 4 and it feels like a solid brick!

so i want to get this camera from canon:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Canon+-+PowerShot+10.0-Megapixel+Digital+ELPH+Camera+-+Blue/9225527.p?id=1218062421747&skuId=9225527&st=Canon%20SD1100IS&cp=1&lp=3
which is the Model: SD1200 IS

and i want to place it in this waterproof case from canon:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Canon+-+WP-DC22+Waterproof+Case+for+Canon+SD1100IS+Digital+Cameras/8804056.p?id=1206141944060&skuId=8804056
but it says that the waterproof case is for the SD1100IS Digital Cameras

also, when i called best buy to question if they had the case in stock, the lady mentioned that the case works for all canon cameras, which i find hard to believe.

if anyone knows for sure if the case would or wouldnt work for the camera, delight tell me. also, if the case doesnt work, could you delight mention other waterproof cases that would work for the camera.

Thanks a lot!!!

the Canon WP-DC22 Case is for the SD1100. I would not expect it to work for other models.
