Come on, I thought to myself, now bestellste times without great expectations this underwater camera bag ... Vorneweg: I'm totally happy with this great underwater camera bag and look forward still made this purchase decision to have!
Delivered is a small original box. Inside is the camera bag, protected by a foil. It lies a guide, as well as a shoulder strap.
The first impression is very positive. Here stinks before nothing to chemistry, which unfortunately often happens at such an affordable plastic products - it smells anything. The Somikon underwater camera bag is made mainly of soft plastic. This soft plastic can be readily formed and push what's important later for camera control from the outside. There are a solid plastic part, namely the recess of the lens. The solid plastic is well thought out, because there goes indeed from the lens and a, so there is no resistance. For this objective leadership even a cap is also supplied, which protects this spot from scratches. The strap is fastened by snap lock at the bag.
How does the camera bag and why is it waterproof? It's simple: The digital camera is inserted. DC 2 Safety pressure locks secure the ingress of water. This pressure locks are so similar to the closures of plastic freezer bags. Only these are much thicker and firmer. You can open and close very well. The end with the two pressure closures is again twisted together and secured with 2 snaps. Although it is totally simple, the contents of the bag is actually waterproof. In the manual it is pointed out that one should test a new bag still again before the camera is used. We tested it and there came despite crumpling the bag purely not a drop of water.
It's funny to take his digital camera right the first time with the water. It actually works. The bag keeps its promises. You can make beautiful pictures underwater. We have a Panasonic Lumix, which fits perfectly into the shell. Although our digital camera does not fill the whole bag, the camera lies perfectly without great slipping. The small buttons and switches can be properly operated. The lens extends in the space provided leadership and a. You can see the screen and what you fototgrafiert, that's a big advantage to the disposable underwater cameras. And the big advantage is so that you can do in theory, hundreds of photos, since you are no longer as before so limited to a few images on a film. Added to this is a much better image quality. The pocket drives always nice when they are released to the surface.
Tested how these shell in the pool, in the bathtub and in the sea. We are really very satisfied. We usually shoot without the flash. Depending on it appears sometimes halt the flash, which has to do with the plastic housing. Every now and then one has the edge of the lens guiding unfortunately with the photos. Only when the camera is accurately in the center of which is prevented. The images seen above water of not so great, what I also sliding on the plastic housing. Underwater photos look great! Compared to a disposable underwater camera worlds better. Particularly beautiful motives arise if you shoot someone diving, or just someone jumps into the water, for example. The many Blubberbläschen make every picture unique.
Conclusion: If you like to shoot beautiful snapshots on vacation, should take this underwater camera case. Especially with children, this gives an amazing job. The photos remind you of the fun you had in your water. A highlight in any photo book to which one has fond memories back. The bag is really cheap. Would I buy again immediately and recommend it to anyone! Just a great fun!
