Help me choose an aquabox!
Dear, Lovers of capturing the beautiful depths of the sea!
We are going to Sharm, not a pro in photography, especially in underwater ones. But I really want to capture the fish, I hope near the beautiful reefs of the hotel) Our camera is Sony CyberShot DSC H70. They recommended buying a DicaPac WP 570 box for him in online stores (UAH 419). So I’m thinking whether it’s worth buying, how good such things are. Perhaps it is better to buy on the spot, in Egypt, a camera for underwater photos. Thanks everyone for the help!

You already have a good quality camera. The box for it will not cost much more than a disposable underwater camera bought in Egypt, if not cheaper. In the case of buying a box for an existing camera, you will not lose on the quality of photos, you will win in the service life (guaranteed). And you will have one necessary thing, instead of one necessary and one unnecessary.
I myself once bought a box in my daughter's canon. Haven't regretted it once in five years. He is still serving. But I doubt the service life of disposable cameras for underwater filming.

Viltis, thanks for your reply! Tell me, please, as I understand it, there is no native box for our Sony CyberShot DSC H70. How safe is it to buy a box for Sonya, I'm afraid of leaks, or is this out of the question in principle?

Oh, no family? Isn't this native? Which one did you indicate?
I would prefer my own, it's not so much about tightness, but about the correspondence of all levers and start buttons. It must be fully functional under water.
So my husband says that you should not take a non-native. Surely there is no native?

yes, I called several online stores, even went into the store - everyone shrugged their shoulders in surprise. Perhaps it is simply not available in Kyiv ((They recommend either a very inexpensive silicone bag (quite dumb), or DicaPac WP 570 - although I look in the specifications - it is stated that it is compatible with Canon, nothing is said about Sonya (Here we are)) Therefore , I was also worried that it was unsafe, I could ruin the camera altogether.Do you think it's worth buying a soap dish in Egypt for underwater photos?or is it a waste of money?

In this situation, you have no choice .. unless you have friends or acquaintances who can borrow a camera with a box.

Should I buy a soap dish in Egypt? Well, if there are no other options, then why not? We bought a disposable for $10 and a reusable for $20. The reusable one, in fact, also turned out to be disposable, since we could not find a film for 800. And so it rolls. The quality of the photos is so-so. Subsequently, we took a Galimen box from our friends to our digital camera. It still dripped, but they managed to take pictures and the camera was not damaged. The photos turned out better than the soap ones (there are in my review).

To begin with, I bought a disposable camera in Sharm, and then printed the pictures there for insurance.
Very even nothing turned out photos for non-professionals.
And then, also for a long time and unsuccessfully, I was looking for a box for my decent camera in Kyiv, I found only a flat one for an inexpensive price. and they offered to order the real one in Hong Kong and wait a couple (!) Months. In a word, it also cost flat, although a couple of times it itself pressed on the lens and interfered with shooting.
For the third time I will buy again disposable in Sharm, less hassle and expenses.

And how much does it cost to print a photo in Egypt? Should I return them at the hotel or at the place of purchase (in a store, for example)?
Galina50, and "flat for an inexpensive price" - the price is about 100 UAH?

Flat cost 69 gr, bought in the "Olympic", which is opposite Ol. stadium, exit from the metro. But it is intended for documents, money and other papers, who swim, taking all their papers with them to the beach, and obviously not for cameras.
And it was inexpensive to print, also up to $ 10 for all the photos. I rented it to the same seller, where I received the f-camera.
It was I who insured myself in Sharm, so that I could get a photo there, who knows what they will say in our photo studios ...

this is a very good decision! I was offered such a kind of silicone package for our camera for 89 UAH. Still, of course, I will call the rest of the stores for reviews on the dicapak. But to be honest, I’m already leaning towards a soap dish on the spot, we’ll buy a few films for it, and try what happens) Thank you all for your responsiveness!

The native film there is at 800, we did not find such a film either in Sharm or at home. If you take 400, then I don’t know what will happen. And in this case, you need to take a reusable soap dish, because it is disposable and disposable.

Accordingly, take a reusable for 20 USD?
An aquabox that is not native to our camera costs about 420 UAH, of course, the quality of the photos will most likely be better, but if we drown the camera presented for the wedding, it will be sadder. It is a pity that there are so few reviews on the use of DicaPac WP 570, the beast on our market is completely unknown

Yes, I think one film will be enough for you for this trip. And in the future, maybe something will change for you (find your native box or something else). Get a disposable. However, look at the place - how you bargain.

Several times bought disposable in Sharm. Printed at home, the photo is so-so. This year we bought a silicone case in Naama Bay. It cost, if I'm not mistaken, somewhere around 13 dollars. But they are of different quality, with different nozzles. It is necessary to immediately measure on the fotik. We first stuffed toilet paper, plunged into the sea, okay. Then they inserted a fotik. It is good to tighten the screws. True, you need to get used to hitting the buttons and the fish. Painfully smart. You can see the quality of the photo in my review of this year.

This year we were very pleased both under water and on land in sunny weather with the Kodak EasyShare Sport C123 digital underwater camera, it has already been discontinued, but you can still find it in the warehouses of online stores, look at this site

Do not delay buying an aquabox in Egypt here you won’t find them very much (you’ll have to run around thoroughly) there are aquaboxes here but they are rare and for the most common brands. Photos from a camera bought here for 10-15 dollars leave much to be desired. And the Iberotel has a very beautiful reef. advice, go take pictures of the fish at 6-7 in the morning, they are closer to the shore and behave more calmly. If you take pictures in the water, do not make sudden movements, the fish will not be scared and the photos will not be blurry. Good photos for you! P.S. photos in Egypt for tourists will be more expensive than at home !!!
