Photography Question

Waterproof-Weatherproof


I'm heading to the beach in a couple weeks and am worried about taking my Canon 20d- while I want to get great pictures I dont want to ruin the camera with the salty air- or god forbid salty water! So I need to find out if they make a case for this camera or should I just buy a waterproof camera? Any ideas or experiences I could learn from? Thanks, Kelly

  Kelly,
We had a really good thread a while back about this topic. You can find it HERE.

Lots of good tips in it.

Have fun!

Chris

  Thanks Chris! I read through that, and I guess I need some ziploc bags huh? I've looked on a couple site for a cover for the 20D and haven't found one. Thanks for your response! Kelly

  Hi Karma! Hey were you referring me to the plastic cape they sell for $20? What is the forty dollar item?When I type in that whole link I just get their home page so I don't know what you found for me. I do see they have the underwater case for the 20D it's $1,700! I'll just buy another camera when I get home instead! Wowsers! Thanks for your time! Kelly

  Hi Karma, I answered my own question. I think I will get that for $20 that's not bad at all and probably works better than the ziploc bags. Thanks for your help. Kelly

  Hi,
I just did an eBay search for "camera rain" and got 28 hits. There are several different options, some real cheap, others cost a bit more.

If it had been for being out in the rain, I think this looks great:

But, if you didn't already buy, maybe it is an idea to have a look?


Aase :)
