Canon WP1 Weatherproof 35mm Camera

Summary: WEATHERproof - ABSOLUTELY - WaterPROOF - NO
Review: My Canon was 'purchased' through the Marlboro campaign last year.....and I Love It. I have taken pictures at sunset (my favorite time of day), with incredible results (400-800 film)--- and I have taken pictures in the rain (not a downpour or underwater) and with the same clarity and detail as on a sunny day. I am also very pleased with the shape and weight of the Canon. I would recommend it without hesitation.

Summary: Seems to love rough treatment!
Review: This camera certainly lives up to the manufacturers claims of ruggedness! On my recent 2 month trip to Costa Rica it survived numerous soakings and a fall from our rental dirt bike at 30 km/hr with barely a scratch and performs no differently from before. On a day to day basis I've been carrying it around in the bottom of my rucksack for about 8 months now (minus its case, which I long since lost)and besides some of the writing wearing off, its still as good as ever. People are always remarking about the quality of my pictures too - I am never disappointed with a single set of pictures I get back! Bright colours, accurate framing and I particularly like the fact that it shuts off the flash even if you leave the switch on so you don't kill the batteries. One 3V battery lasted over a year! The only trouble with that is its hard to catch that 'critical moment' when using your flash because it takes a second or two to charge the flash after you press the button. Otherwise Its the absolute perfect camera for anyone who has been chastised their entire lives for not 'respecting' their belongings!

Summary: Great Camera for the Great Outdoors!
Review: This is a great camera for the outdoor enthusiast, especially if lugging around heavier equipment is not an option, where I canoe I have to carry the canoe downhill ... I have an SLR but it weighs me down, it makes too much noise and scares the moose away! I have canoed, kayacked, beached, and the camera has definitely gotten wet and survived - it is not however, an underwater camera! Aside from the obvious designation weatherproof vs. waterproof - an important distinction - a whole different setup is needed altogether for true underwater shoots. If you want to take nice pix without having to worry, about rain or splasing - this is it!

Summary: Water resistant? How about waterproof to 80 feet!
Review: Took this camera down 80 feet in salt water. Works like a charm. My friends couldn't believe it either. I recommend this camera highly.
