I pull it out of the dry bag when I need to get a picture. If I'm really going to use it in rougher water or underwater, it goes into a Aquapac SLR case. I toss a bunch of desiccant sachets in the drybag or the SLR case.(Note: Aquapac sponsored me with this case and a bunch of other gear, but as you know, I don't recommend gear unless I like it, even if I got it for free -- let me tell you about a tent. :))<br /><br />Combo #2: Canon S95 in a small Pelican case kept in the cockpit or my underdeck bag. I pop the snaps, pull the camera out, get the pic and put it away. Or I use it in a Aquapack 420, which works underwater, etc... Canon makes a waterproof diving case for the S95, which I'm considering. It's $200, but probably worth it. The S95 has fantastic image quality for a p&s. I'm getting good images up to 400 ISO and usable at 800 ISO. I'd never thought a p&s could be this good. Still, it's not near DSLR quality.Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271515974527635741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286641616677658414.post-73347846366702733952011-01-07T11:32:05.219-06:002011-01-07T11:32:05.219-06:00Good stuff!

Tough as nails and impossible to drown, but the guy who reviewed the 6000 Tough says it best: "Don't go in with high expectations if you are used to SLR cameras as you will be frustrated. If you're used to using point and shoot cameras you will be very satisfied with the picture quality".<br />Guess I'll just have to settle....for now anyway.DaveOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00552131869044539704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286641616677658414.post-86830647581264326772011-01-07T10:47:50.762-06:002011-01-07T10:47:50.762-06:00Hi, I'm a friend of No1 son.

While the D300s body itself is weatherproof, putting a pro-qualify lens on it that would also be weatherproof makes for an unwieldy combo. And I still do not think it would survive a kayak roll!<br /><br />You may wish to consider the "already weatherproof" segment that is starting to have some good entries.<br /><br />Here is an article on DPReview that discusses this segment:<br />http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/Q209waterproofgroup/Comfortably Poorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01010561509416637225noreply@blogger.com
