My digital camera doesn't have a H20proof case and I can't find one either. I put it in a plastic zip-lock bag and tossed in a the glove box but rarely brought it out 'cuz I didn't want to ruin it, just too much drinking going on to remember it mostly, but when I did, there was no way it was gonna come off of the boat.

What does everyone else here use?

I use a Pelican case for everything, cameras, lens', etc. and I have a waterproof diving bag that I use when I just want to toss just the "good" camera in the boat.

I don't bother putting the smaller cameras in a bag all the time, but I do have a small heavy vinyl zip bag that I use sometimes. :D

Those look cool, but can you take a picture thru them?

I want something I can use to potect my camera, throw it in my pocket or hang it on my wrist and jump in the water or onto the sandbar with and take a photo at a moments notice. I keep missing the money shot.  :p

Aren't there any water proof digi's out there now? So far I've just put it in the glovebox for keeping and use cautiously.

Ain't life Grand? Treat it that way.

I'm sure there are. When I was at the river last weekend I saw a housing for a sony dig camera. When I got home I checked HP's website (that's what I have) and they have a housing, but its for a different model. I was just wondering if anyone knew of somewhere or someone who makes a camera housing that's universal.

Probably too much to ask for, but my post count is low and I was just trying to pad it.

Why didn't you say so ???  :stupid

I have a small Canon waterproof (to a degree) camera too.


I've even taken shots of the boat from underwater! :D

We usually buy a few of those "one-time" waterproof cameras and keep 'em in the boat.  No worries about damaged equipment that way.... :good
