Please let me explain myself before you trash me.
Last June I was out on my boat on a lake, taking photos with my 20D, of my daughter fishing. One of my coworkers came speeding up on a jet ski. I turned to take photos of him getting closer.
By the time I realized he was not slowing down, I turned and covered my camera, but the tsunami was too big, and had sent a wave of water into my boat, soaking me, my family, and all of my camera gear as I had my bag open on the rear seat (I now close my bag every time I am done gettng anything out of it by the way).
I gave serious consideration as to if I had enough weight in my boat to hold a body at the bottom of the lake, but I digress. He paid for the repairs.
To avoid this from happening THIS boating season (not that I can afford the gas anymore :rolleyes
, I was looking at a housing for my camera. I didn't really need a SCUBA housing for my 20D, and don't trust the plastic bag systems, so I started to hunt around eBay to see what I could find.
I started out looking for a housing for my G2, but found nothing for an older camera like that.
I just "won" an auction for a small 4 Meg Noink Point and Shoot with a complete dive housing, for less than I could have bought the plastic baggie for.
Well, we shall see how it works when I get it here. At least it works on CF which I seem to have an abundance of.
And to think, now I can take it in the swimming pool too, and not worry about my camera getting ruined. Hey, it's only a Noink, right?
