Waterproof a camera?

Question

going on a float trip next weekend. i have a digital camera i would like to use. is there something i can put it in that i will still be able to take pictures but it wont hurt it to get wet? OR is there such a thing as a waterproof DIGITAL camera?

Answer 1

Go to the camera shop buy a all-weather protective case, it will do the trick.

Olympus and Pentax do offer all-weather digicam.

Answer 2

Any of the Olympus "SW" series cameras and a couple of the new Pentax P&S cameras

Answer 3

There are several products that may help you.  if you already have a camera that you use, check out the link at the bottom for a waterproof bag made for small cameras.  There are larger bags similar to this for SLR cameras.  Check out some scuba sites for diving houses made for your camera model.  Or you can spend more for a waterproof setup from Sea & sea.  What ever you do, don't use a zip-lock bag.  Most of the bags I mentioned even allow you to use the camera without taking it out of the bag.  Have fun!
