Is DICAPAC Ok for D90?

D90 + DSLRDigipac works for me when i went to Palawan last March, although its hard to used it first time(you really have to vent out all the air) because of buoyancy when snorkling and its just plain easier to use a prime lens instead of zoom lens(hard to zoom in and out).

Do you have sample pics sir?

[timdeguzman]

hahaha.
You have to use it at least once to gain confidence. Next time, strap it on your neck and ask someone to push you overboard.

Anyway, it is still no waste because you could still use it to splash/weatherproof your camera, in case you will never ever find the confidence to use it underwater.

Yeah, after I went home I felt kinda regretting not having tested it...

Maybe next time, but you are right, it's not a waste because it served as weatherproofing...

Thanks!

I laughed. Because that same thing happened to me. Simply chickened out.

This thread has been sleeping for almost 3 years now. Buhayin ko lang.
Just bought mine for my D90. I got the WP-S10 from DBGADGETS.

Done with the bubble testing. Worked well and as expected in a 2 feet deep container.
Hope it works fine in the real world for my Camiguin adventure. Cross fingers.


Will be posting sample photos.

Cheers!

Ohhh, by the way, the Dicapac WP-S10 from dbgadgets was only 2850 Php. Very cheap and hassle free transaction. I have to give credits to them, it was an awesome deal. I was able to slash almost a thousand pesos from mall prices. So giving a tip to their messenger was an ease. Hehe

As a DSLR noob years before, I considered the dicapac just to protect my cam from salt water moisture, since my family loves going to the beach. But it was way too expensive for, me. Fast forward to 2 months ago, on an outing with my family to Puerto Galera, inggit na inggit ako b/c the were having the time of their lives as the waves at that time were unusually strong and I REALLY WANTED TO GO SWIMMING hehehe but I had my cam w/ me so I was just the designated "documentor" LOL. So I had to stay high and dry. Then last week I say a thread at PhotographyTalk and the feature this guy's shots of waves and the perspective was something similar to shots of surfers inside wave "tunnels" but his shots were all at waist deep water but w/ big waves. He even had a shot laying down on the sand and shooting the waves as they broke on the shore...what do you know...he had his Nikon inside a dicapac! "LIGHT BULB MOMENT!!!!" Yehey now I can swim again AND shoot at the same time!!! Thanks sir eljun for the heads up on dbgadgets. Now my wife won't kill me if I buy one hahahaha!

Tim - None at that price range. I have seen generic ones for P&S but none for DSLRs (I wouldnt trust the generic ones w/ my gear). If you have a P&S, you can get one for it 1st. Around P1,100 for most. One comment, its hard to change controls w/ the dicapac esp. dials! Still, love the product.

Nikon P5100 w/ dicapac

WOW! Where is that?
