Digital Camera Case
| Powered by phpBay Pro |
can you use ziploc bag as waterproof case for digital camera for underwater photography?
not really underwater but within 5 feet below. in a swimming pool.
No
The seal on a ziploc bag is not sufficient to keep water out. When you put it underwater, even less than a couple of metres, the water pressure will press on the seal & cause it to leak.
The flexible housings made by EWA-Marine that fhotoace mentions have proper seals that are watertight to several metres.
Other alternatives are to buy a camera that is waterproof to a rated depth (most of the consumer 'underwater' compacts are suitable for swimming pool use), or
buy a rigid housing for a camera (if one is available for your model).
If you're in the UK, Cameras Underwater are a good supplier of quality cameras/housings;

and here's a selection of mostly consumer models from Amazon;

I dunno where Forlorn Hope got the idea that a bag would burst - due to water pressure, it will get squashed, not burst. In fact that's the problem with flexible bags - as well as leaks, the water pressure tends to push buttons you don't want pushed!
