Underwater photography

[Massey]

I have this neet little case for one of my cameras that allow me to take pics underwater. The camera is a Cannon PowerShot A620 and the case is a Cannon WP-DC90. I attempted to get some pics of my boat underwater while at the lake today but the water was just too murky to get good pics. I did get a couple to show you tho.

That is neat! I would like to have an underwater housing for my camera, but it costs more than the camera did!

i may just use a clear plastic box :)

If you want to take pictures that are 'just under' the surface of the water, you could use a fish aqarium tank. ;)

lol, it has to be slightly portable!

Canon and Sony make nice enclosures for their Point and shoot, and camcorder lines. I have a Sony, and love it.

Olympus makes (expensive) enclosures for their SLR Cameras.

A cheaper solution is EWA Marine - http://www.ewa-marine.com/english/index.htm They make soft enclosures for all sorts of cameras.

Even cheaper is to make your own - http://web.media.mit.edu/~tim/pix/waterproofcamera.html

I have invested alot of money in my cameras and I just cant see taking $1000 in camera and lenses in the water no matter how good the baggie is. That is why the cheaper camera with the hard case. If I knew I would get my camera replaced free if something bad happens then I dont think I would hesitate.

also hard plastic is probably going to be better optically

I know this might sound cheap and nasty but have you thought about an underwater disposable?? I took one to Fiji earlier in the year and it worked a treat. They cost about 20 bucks Australian and when you get it developed, just get the pictures developed straight on to a cd. I have attached a couple of shots, these are untouched as I got them and it was an overcast day at that. They are good to a depth of about 30feet.

underwater disposable

Never heard of them before. Your pics look great! Something to look into, thanks!

Here you go, I found a link.
They are sold/made by Kodak so they are reasonable quality and you should be able to get them anywhere.
