Hi All,
I'm curious to know if anyone has tried out any of the DiCaPac cases with their NEX cameras. I'm thinking about getting one for mainly above-water purposes (filming surfing from the relative safety of a deepwater channel - so it won't be taking a regular beating from the waves but will be occasionally dunked/submerged while I'm paddling around on a surfboard). I'm confident that the bags should offer a more than adequate level of waterproofing for my needs as it won't actually spend much time under water, but I'm wondering about how easy they are to use in practice?
In particular, I'd like to know if the touch screen will work at all through the PVC bag, and how much access you have to controls. I'm also wondering if glare is a problem with the LCD screen, which is already hard enough to see outdoors without another layer of reflective material in between.
