This unique case is an all-weather vinyl case for Canon Powershot digital cameras (with short zoom lenses) that lays nearly flat for storage and is totally waterproof up to 16 feet (5 meters) deep! Constructed from thick, high-grade vinyl with a UV-coated polycarbonate lens cover, this case is designed to keep your camera clean and moisture-free in almost any environment. The patented "Roll & Velcro" zipper closure system provides two levels of protection to keep your case completely watertight, while the clear panels and flexible material allows you to take beautiful pictures underwater and maintain complete control over all your camera's functions. Best of all, it is extremely lightweight and can be tucked away in your pocket or small bag, making it by far the most convenient option for complete all-weather protection for your digital camera, not to mention the most affordable. Take beautiful clear pictures wherever you are without having to worry about damaging your valuable camera!


It is easy to make a good canvas photo print. You just upload the photo, pay the price and wait until your new photos on canvas are delivered. But if you want to make the perfect canvas print, you need to know a little about some technical issues. Do not worry though - it is not that complicated.

First of all you have to choose the right format, before you get your photos printed on canvas. The format of your photos has to match the format of the canvas.That means that if you like to buy a 30" x 40" size canvas photo, your photo has to be in the format 3:4 as well (or in other words the width must be 1.25 times the height).

The format varies among cameras. Most compact cameras shoot photos in the 3:4 format while SRL digital cameras shoot in a 2:3 format. Luckily many online photo dealers, who print canvas photos, provide online tools to check it automatically. If the photo format does not match the canvas size, you can crop the photo - if you not do it, it will be done automatically. But by doing it yourself, you have more control. Just remember that it is not a good idea to cut a head or a foot. If you have to do that to fit your photo on the canvas, it is probably better to choose another canvas format.

The next thing you have to think about is the size of the photo.If you print a photo in a standard photo size, the number of pixels does not really matters. But when it comes to printing photos on canvas, they do. To make big canvas photos, you need photos with high resolution (meaning a lot of pixels).If you only got a 2 megapixel camera, you can still get a good small-size canvas photo, but to get one of the bigger ones, you need a newer camera with much more pixels. With an 8 megapixels camera, you can have canvas photos in even the largest sizes.

The technical issues about Format and Size do also apply when printing normal photos. But the subject wraps is a special Canvas Photo issue.It is possible to buy your canvas photos rolled (like a poster), but normally you will have it wrapped around some kind of wooden bars.Basically there are two kinds of wraps: Museum Wraps and Gallery Wraps.

Museum wrap is the way the museums normally have their paintings hanging on the wall. The photo is printed on the canvas with a white area is added around it. When it is then stretched around the bars, the photo itself fills the front, while the sides and the back is just plain white canvas.

The museum wrap is a good solution, if you are planning to frame your canvas photo. And if important parts of the photo are near the edges, it is also a wise choice. It is also normally the wrap to choose, if your canvas photo is a reproduction of an original painting.

The big difference between the museum wrap and the gallery wrap is that in a gallery wrapped canvas, there is not added an extra white area. Instead the border of the canvas photo is wrapped around the edges, so the print extends around the sides of the canvas. The gallery wrap is perfect, if you are planning to hang your canvas photo without a frame. Just remember that it works best, if there is no important part of the photo in the edge part.

That is it. You do not have to learn more technical stuff to get a perfect canvas photo. Just remember to choose the right format (or crop your photo), the right size and the most suitable wrap type.

It can be complicated to buy canvas photos - but it does not have to be.

Customer Review: Great Quality
I've been using this camera for close to 2 years now and have been impressed with it's durability and image quality. I find it is not the best in low lighting situations but over all this camera has helped me capture some awesome images. I will be hanging on to it even though I'm upgrading to and SLR soon - a good point and shoot is invaluable.
Customer Review: Great scenic shots for a painter
I have had the Canon Powershot A540 for about 2 years. I upgraded from a Nikon 3200 series. I am always on the lookout for things I can turn into a painting. This camera has served me well. I can take a picture through the front windshield while moving and get a great shot. I do however find that to view the pictures taken you have to move the mode switch down to do a review. If you forget to put it back in camera position nothing happens. I like the factor that it allows me so many different shooting modes. It has portrait, landscape (although I've never used it when filming landscape),night snapshots, kids & pets, indoor, foliage, snow, beach, fireworks and underwater. You can change the shooting mode using the button on top of the camera. Can't get any easier than that. Normally I've not had to change my setting to shoot a picture of an amazing color sky. It's response is quick, red eye is reduced but not totally eliminated as I have found out in some shots I've taken. It is lightweight and small enough that it fits in a small cosmetic case in my purse. Uses 2 AA batteries. I use the photo batteries and for me they last a long time. I've been amazed at how long they last. For me downloading is very convenient. I remove the SD memory card and put it in my computer. Then I can go in and crop, stitch, and do whatever I feel has to be done to make the picture better. The zoom is great, brings what I want closer without losing any detail. In normal setting, I've taken indoor pictures of the grandchildren and my husband and they are perfect. Color is very good. The one thing I would really like to have on this camera is image stabilization. Looking now to getting either the new Kodak Zi6 pocket camcorder or the RCA small wonder EZ201 so I can capture pix of my great grandchildren doing their thing.


You can find very few people who are not into taking photos. Everyone would probably take snaps even for the occasions. With the advent of digital cameras, the entire process has been made easier. There are some top rated cameras one could depend upon.

Fujifilm FinePix F100 fd is the first in the list and it has image quality of 12 mega pixel with a 28-140mm zoom lens along with other specified options. It also owns the pride of having the best ever Face Detection Features ever seen in any other models. It has the ability to detect faces from any angles possible.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50 stands the next having a 3-inch LCD screen which can be tilted along with 15x zoom function. The night shot mode is simply competitive along with slideshow mode. Long zooms are possible with steady shot image stabilization. It also has the advanced sports mode to make things pretty easier.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35 is simply another option to depend upon. It is a compact and handsome digital camera having a lot of in-built intelligence. Wide angle is made possible with the 4x,25-100mm Leica zoom.

Nikon D60 is the best one for the beginners as well as the professionals having digital SLRs along with a compact option. It has special features of dust reduction to stabilize the quality of the image taken. For all those who are looking out for sharing the photos with your friends and family and looking out for a solid second body, you will be simply glad to choose the
Nikon D60.

The Olympus E-420 has the special function of digital SLR with daylight viewable LCD, contrast detection along with increased frame rate. It has a compact zoom lens measuring 14-42 mm making very easy to be used.
