Reccomend me waterproof storage

I need a box that is completely submersible for taking the kit in a canoe. It needs to fit a Rebel, one prime, one zoom, and one flash. It should also be something that I can get into and out of easily, and be padded for shock absorption.

I know there's lots of stuff out there, but I was hoping some one might give insight into how much I should be looking to spend, and what are good quality brands. Doesn't need to be super cheap, I just don't want to spend money just for the sake of spending money.

I've used my Lowepro Dryzone 1 in both ocean kayaking and white water rafting and had no issues in either case.

Pelican 1514. Most, actually I think all Pelicans are waterproof. See the Youtube video torture tests.

Pelican box for the win!

For that type of trip, a Pelican case all the way...

Yes, I agree... Pelican (or other similar) for storage.

However do you want to shoot from the canoe some of the time, too? It's risky opening the storage box and taking the camera out. An underwater housing (pricey) or bag (less pricey, but less secure) might also be a good idea.

Probably the best precaution would be to check with your insurance, that your stuff is fully covered, even if you have to get a rider.

A Rebel isn't waterproof at all so you likely don't want to use it in the canoe. Might want to get an old 1D that can take a splash or two in case you want to use it from the Canoe.

You didn't say how much trekking you'd be doing from the canoe but here's a consideration;
a pelican 1500 or Porta Brace pb-2400 for gear impact and wallet impact too(-$100.00). But it really depends on what your doing, a water proof backpack might be the ticket if you have to carry the canoe
or climb around water.

Pelican cases are the tits when it comes to hard cases. If you have any interest in something more flexible, check out Watershed bags. I use the Ocoee with the padded camera insert for kayaking. It allows more flexibility for where you can store it, and it is much nicer for when you're hopping onto the shore and scrambling up to a nice vantage point.

thanks for the advice, I'll give the Pelican stuff a try.

spreading that 1d mark II love i see again hpulley . i never had a rebel but i used to have a nikon d40x which has roughly the same plasticy build of the rebels. i once took it out in a snow storm for an hour taking some long exposures that i miserably screwed up but once i got inside the snow melted on the cam and it was dripping wet. i wiped it naturally, and it was working perfectly, it never hiccuped, never had any problem to this day. now my father owns it.

my point is that the rebels arent built badly and can with stand a certain amount of force. though if you are going to be in difficult situations all the time then im sure a 1d will be a better investment.

Those pelican's look good, but kind of bulky for a canoe. I'm thinking a Dryzone and wrap your camera and lenses inside their own zip lock bag. And for added security, you can double bag each item with another zip lock bag for comfort?

Knocks and water are completely different kettles of fish. The plastic body is stronger than it looks, I give you that.

As far as water goes: you were lucky. I tell you people, don't get your Rebel wet. The card and battery covers are not sealed at all. Snow isn't so bad usually as it doesn't go anywhere while you're out in the cold; if you wipe it off before you go in the house you're probably fine. You got lucky, you got the water off before it ran in. Once it runs in, you're probably in trouble.

Take a 7D, a 5DII or a 1D, they all have some weather sealing. Even a 40D/50D has some foam on the battery and card doors. The Rebels have nothing I tell you, nothing...
