All Aquapac cases were redesigned to use polyurethane instead of PVC
Polyurethane is 100 recyclable and more environmentally-friendly
Can withstand temperatures from -40 F to 122 F
Thinner than PVC, making it easier to operate controls
The Small Camera Case with Hard Lens has Class 5 water protection, AquaPac's highest, meaning it is waterproof and submersible to depths greater than 12 feet
Fits small and mini digital cameras with a short zoom lens : Integrated external hard lens for excellent photos right through the case : Waterproof Rating - Submersible - Withstands submersion of 15-feet for at least 30 minutes : Floats safely if dropped in the water
I snorkled with this AquaPac case for a week in the Galapagos Islands and learned some valuable lessons: (1) Over the seven days of surface snorkeling - the AquaPac kept my Lumix FX3 camera "bone dry". (2) With this AquaPac - one needs to set both the "camera" and "video" settings to infinity - otherwise you will take some nice shots of the camera bag itself - or any water droplets on the camera bag itself. (3) I followed the recommended advice to add the silica/desicate bag to the AquaPac. This turned out to be a major faux pas (e.g. DISASTER). The silica/desicate bag burst and sent the "sand" particulate into the bag and into my camera - rendering the camera inoperable - since the lens could no longer close/open - nor could the auto-focus focus. The silica bag was added on the last day of trip and the silica bag disintegrated on the last day of trip. So I was able to shoot some nice photos of sea lions under water - but my camera is now "hosed" (e.g. it is a now a $179 piece of garbage due to silica bag sand entering the lens). (4) The sea lion shots that I took underwater were phenomenal.
