How is the waterproofing on this camera? Will it last more than 1 hunting season? I had bad luck with other brands

I've had mine watching a house under construction in a remote location for nine months straight.. Oct through May in South Carolina.

It seems to be fine. No water gets in it. My only issue with it is there isn't any cell reception in the mountains.

Mine has been in operation since October and through a very wet spring. Still working fine.

Hello I have the D10 The shutter has broken for the second time. I have researched all new point and shoot water proof cameras. I have decided to get the canon d20 It does appear to have the leaking problems of other products. I am also biased toward cannon. I basically use this type of camera for snorkeling and beach trips. My next rip is in December. I am waiting to see some price drop. It is currently $295 on amazon good luck with your decision

Yes! This is a terrible camera! I bought it because I was going to a water park with my family. After it went underwater (less than 3 feet) a couple of times it stopped working. I opened it up and noticed water had gone in through the casing even though it was closed correctly. Besides that the focus and zoom is terrible! I took it back and got my money back right away. There are newer and better waterproof cameras out there and I would invest in a different model/brand. Sorry for the delay in my response.

This camera would surely be damaged by submerging in water. Look for something water PROOF if you're going to be using it on the water. A waterproof bag will be fine if you're just transporting it on the water.

I have used several of these and they are not waterproof at all. Once they get misty inside they take forever to dry out. My son has no problem with the one I installed for him because the mount is rather well encapsulated,but I don't think he has taken it through a car wash. The cameras I bought had had four vent holes in the back, so "water resistant" is probably what the "waterproof" specification the manufacturer refers to means. And, I can't close without mentioning that my experience was that these cameras tend to turn green and red into pink. That makes for very pretty landscapes, but no so much for color accuracy.

have 2 of these cameras and we have had a very wet summer here in Wisconsin. And I have had no problems with either one.

Hello! I just purchased this cameria for my husband's birthday in March 2014. We have not used it for water purposes yet. However, reading the reviews, it seems to be a decent camera for this purpose.

Canon is a horrible company who DOES NOT stand by their warranty. They lied and said my 2 1/2 month old T1I camera has corrosion & water damage. The camera was never exposed to water and always kept indoors. But, we do live in a rather humid western Washington environment. I absolutely do not recommend purchasing a Canon camera.

I can't help you with this. my camera has always been & will be used only under dry conditions. Nothing in the Specs says that this model is waterproof. dust sealing against its sensor might be an official feature that is YET to be tested. you might want a leather half case to give it more grip. Presumingly, it is not sealed against waterfalls. Good luck

Agree with Bob ring's comment. The only thing I am disappointed with is battery life is a little short sometimes. I have got some great shallow water pictures with it. Stills as well as videos. It is a lot of camera for the money. Do not try to change the battery with wet hands. Mine stopped working for a short time until I dried it out. I do really like it. I do recommend buying a couple extra batteries. I have taken around 6000 pictures with mine.

Sorry, I can't answer that question because the camera that I purchased was installed in South Florida. I can tell you that there does not appear to be any sort of weatherproof housing so it's very susceptible to the elements... hot/cold/wet/dry. The unit that I purchased didn't last a month before failed. If it's indoors it might last a longer. Good luck

Unfortunately I was unable to find anything in the paperwork stating it is waterproof. The camera comes with a waterproof case that has buttons for operation, and the remote is definitely water resistant if not waterproof, it would not be effected by rain but I am not sure if it is submersible.

I had to send the camera back; because, the camera got moisture inside and stopped working. The lens also had issues fogging up in humid conditions. My camera never went below a few feet. So I do not know if this is a build quality issue or a design problem with the camera. When working it took great pictures and we had fun using the camera for some surfing photos. The video record feature is also very nice and easy to use. It is a good action camera that can get wet. As to waterproof, I am not so sure. Hope this helps, Phil

I wouldn't rely on it for rainy weather however, I do highly recommend the case! It has 2 parts so it is possible for the water to get in and I am not sure how the leather will handle. If you are looking for a good waterproof case try the 'Canon Waterproof Housing WP-DC44 for Canon PowerShot G1 X Digital Camera' I just purchased for our most recent trip to a location with frequent tropical rains and it was also a great case!! Hope that helps.

More water resistant than anything. I know there are some on the market you can submerge in water, but I love having a camera that works and a phone to talk on and I know you sacrifice on both of those with something that is completely waterproof.
