Anyone ever used an underwater camera case? My husband wants one of these underwater camera cases for our digital camera. Now it says it's waterproof up to 33 ft and it says it doesn't blur the camera lens so that your pictures turn out great. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7615196528&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT If that link doesn't work, it's a WP500 camera case. Obviously the brochure selling it is GOING to say all that. In the past we've always used the underwater cameras and they tend to be fine but he is a man and this is a cool gadget. But have you ever used one? Worth it or pictures still look like a disposable underwater camera? Did your camera get ruined? We have a water resistant case for our I-pod which has to go on the cruise. I'm fine with that b/c I don't go that close to the pool to begin with. But this will be going underwater with us...so I'm a little hesitant. Anyone?

Do you think it's worth the $ to get an underwater digital camera? What about an underwater case? I am looking to buy a digital camera, but the underwater one is another $150 (compared to the other cameras I was looking at). Do you think it's worth it? I also found this accessory, which I could buy later as an add on. http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/oima_underwaterStylus.asp At the moment, I probably buy an underwater disposable camera about once a year. However, if I had one, I would probably use it more often. I'm not a diver or anything, but we do spend a bit of time in the pool and on the beach (two places I worry about my camera). What are your thoughts?

Anyone who wants to share links for cameras or cases don't hesitate, I know these can be pricey but if you know of something cheaper than a usual one please share a link! Thank you!

Question about underwater cases? Has anyone here experimented with digital camera underwater shooting and know about underwater cases? If so, what type do you use, the one specifically designed for your camera or one designed for a specific line of cameras including yours? I need one for my Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H7 camera but the only one specifically designed for it is twice more expensive than the camera. I found a couple more for the Sony Cyber-Shot line of digitial cameras but I think it might be riskier than the one for H7. Any help is welcome.

Where can I get underwater camera casing? I need some casing for my digital SLR camera- Olympus E420 I've been there but they only seem to have them for compact cameras, and only a limited amount of ones for SLR cameras. So I was wondering if there are ones made by different brands but for the Olympus E420 *Edit of last update- I meant to say I have been to the olympus website, because obviously you will have no idea what I am on about if I just say "there" lol Blue, those products are just what I am looking for, but I am English so can't use the american amazon website. I have looked on the English version but not found anything :(
Where can I buy clear underwater cases for my digital camera in a physical store? I can't buy one online and I need one in a store. I am talking about something like an "aquapack". Just a stansparent pouch thing. Where can I find one near me? Thanks so much in advance and I'll give you a best answer if you help me out :) I am near Honolulu, Hawaii. Apparently there are some Ritz Camera stores near me, but none of them will answer my phone calls which I would ask about the underwater pouches in. All I'm looking for is a transparent pouch to put my camera in for diving.
Waterproof Camera Case and underwater pressure? i'm planing to buy a waterproof case/bag for my Sony H10 camera. From what i found, most cases can be used up 30ft.

Where can I get a reasonably cheap digital underwater camera? I'm looking for a compact digital underwater camera to take in the pool and in the sea while on holiday.

I have a lovely Leica compact camera but even thought I could buy a case that says it's "waterproof" it's going nowhere near any sort of water! Any ideas?
LumixDMC-ZS3 or Canon d10 underwater digital camera? I think i want to get the LumixDMC-ZS3, but i am also considering the underwater canon digital camera. I think i like the LumixDMC-ZS3 as a camera better though... is there an underwater case that i can put it in? or is the canon underwater camera more worth it? the canon seems so bulky and it doesn't have an amazing zoom like the LumixDMC-ZS3. so i kinda think id rather have the lumix. which is more worth it?!?
can u put a plastic bag over a camera and go underwater? i have the new touch camera, and i really wanna take pics underwater. i saw cases that look like a plastic bag that were expensive, so wouldnt just a regular plastic bag work? i dont know if it would, and im scared to try because i dont wanna break my new camera.
Waterproof camera cases from keepitdrycase.com...any good? It seems like it would interfere with the picture to have PVC between the camera lense and the subject your trying to capture. I'm new to photography, so I may not know what I'm talking about. Anyone have experience with this website or similar waterproof/underwater cases? I'm looking to get a Nikon D300 unless someone convinces me otherwise (I have another open question about the D300).
Underwater case for Kodak digital camera? I've recently bought a Kodak digital camera (a V1003) and I want to take it diving so I can get some good shots of the reef.

Can anyone tell me if a housing even exists for this camera (which it certainly doesn't appear to), or suggest a suitable alternative?
Is it safe to make an underwater camera bag at home? All these under water camera cases are too expensive, and I can't buy cheap ones online because my parents are paranoid of online purchasing. So...I was wondering if my "recipe" would work okay for underwater photography? Take a ziplock double zip thing bag (those freezer bag sizes) and insert camera. Seal bag after pushing all air out. Put second larger bag over the ziplock double zip bag and also seal air tight. Do you think it'll work okay? I really don't care if the image quality is affected by the bag. I just want it underwater....o.o

Is underwater digital camera durable as compared to the ordinary digital cams? i still can't decide which digicam to buy; i love the beach therefore i like taking pictures of sea creatures and stuff (not that often though). However i don't like to own a camera that has underwater casing since it's bulky and i just want to have one that is light and easy to bring for traveling.. I've read Olympus makes great underwater cam, but I trusted Sony's range of digicams for a long time now and i want to have one that has the touch screen panel Im looking quality here (takes great pictures and has reasonable price), do i have to ditch my underwater fantasy of taking pictures underwater or is it much better to own the ordinary digicams? I just don't one to buy one that might not last that long
