To state it simply, the i-Pix isn’t a case-it’s a housing. It’s significantly beefier than its predecessor, making the nervous Nancy even more confident. I first got my housing on the i-Divesite i-Pix housing for the iPhone 5 at DEMA and was immediately struck by how durable it felt. So if you want to be able to bring your iPhone underwater without joining the 20 percent of owners who have dropped theirs in the toilet, you need a real housing. Heck, the iPhone 5 even has a fingerprint scan. And with any love, there comes over-the-top non-stop paranoiac overprotection of our iPhones. The faster, lower aperture lens lends itself to the underwater world where bright natural light can be hard to come by. While the iPhone 4 featured a relatively “slow” aperture of F/2.8, Apple has widened the F-Stop in the iPhone 5 and 5s to F/2.4 and F/2.2, respectively. Significant improvement, however, manifests with the lens aperture. The iPhone 5s features 8-megapixel images captured on a 1/3.2” sensor-the same it’s been for the last two generations. The camera abilities of the latest iPhone 5s are nothing to scoff at: Mobile photos are becoming increasingly used by news agencies, stock photography and-of course-capturing family moments. Last year, I fell in love with using my iPhone 4 for underwater photography-so much so, that for an entire trip to Grand Cayman I kept my SLR rig packed tightly in its case. That’s why DPG put the i-Divesite i-Pix A5 housing (MSRP $149.99) for the iPhone 5 to the test in Grand Cayman. With increased photo capabilities of camera phones and simultaneous increase in overweight baggage charges, using your ever-handy iPhone as an underwater camera is an increasingly viable option.Īnd if you want to bring your entire life-uh, I mean your phone-underwater, you better have the right case for the job. Most normal people keep their iPhones as far away from all things wet as possible-but underwater photographers aren’t exactly normal, are we?
