Underwater camera? Camera "protector"?
So, I'm going on VACATION!!! Squeal, jump, snaps!
Anyway, I'm bringing my point and shoot and maybe my dslr (probably not though). Should I get a case for it or some contraption where I can bring it underwater when I go snorkeling or when I'm floating around on my tube? You'll have to excuse my ignorance. I have 1 day to shop for these things so ordering online is not an option.
Also, besides floaties, sunblock, good flip flops, bathing suits, shorts, clothes, - any tips on what to bring that are not totally obvious? I plan on just having a tote bag and a backpack bc I don't want to check in any luggage, so I'm packing light.
TIA.
Re: Underwater camera? Camera "protector"?
I would just buy a disposable underwater camera. I think there's cases for point-and-shoot that would protect, but they're pretty expensive.
How long are you on vacation? I admire the fact that you can go on vacation and not check any luggage. For our last 4-day trip to Chicago, my suitcase was over the 50-pound limit. Yep, I'm that girl.
methinks you should leave the DSLR at home. knowing you, you'll break it/lose it/etc.
i don't know if you can find the underwater camera case thingy locally, but i can vouch for the olympus point-and-shoot for being water-resistant as long as you aren't scuba diving with it.
yay for vacation!
You could call them: http://www.samys.com/ to see if they have anything in stock. But I agree with marsh, disposable underwater camera may be the way to go.
Have fun!
Photos from a disposable underwater camera are....well, disposable.
If you have the money, I recommend underwater housing manufactured for your point-and-shoot. We got great photos with ours in the Great Barrier Reef.
