For both my sea kayak (Baja!) and my canoe I've found that Pelican cases work great since neither of my DSLR or video cameras are waterproof.  I have  Nikon D70 with a 60mm macro and a D300 with an 18-200mm and my video camera is a Sony TRV900.  I once had a Pelican case leak after I was dumped from my sea kayak on a steep beach with large breaking waves (Baja).  The case was submerged for a couple minutes while I gathered myself, but luckily no damage done.  For my recent canoe trip on the Green River in Utah I simply placed the Pelican case with my cameras ready at my feet - served also as a resting place for my coffee and a lunch table... The downside to having cameras that are not waterproof is that you cannot record running that monster rapid or other hairy and wet conditions that would make for a great campfire story... greg Waterproof Cases? Any Thoughts http://www.adventurecanoe.com/forum/topic/waterproof-cases-any-thoughts#post-414 Sun, 16 Aug 2009 15:53:49 +0000 Dennis 414@http://www.adventurecanoe.com/forum/ In preparation for our next big thing (whatever that is) I have been thinking about protecting my precious camera gear on the river. James has a Pelican case for his camera that seems to do the job but I have noticed there are lots of other manufacturers who have jumped into the hard case business lately. I wondered if anyone has any experience with some of the other brands. I found an interesting video about the HPRC cases here - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IsPp-nlR3U" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IsPp-nlR3U</a> It's sort of funny, so have a look. Cameras... Olympus Stylus-550WP "Water" http://www.adventurecanoe.com/forum/topic/cameras-olympus-stylus-550wp-water#post-136 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 18:03:33 +0000 NEMO 136@http://www.adventurecanoe.com/forum/ <img src="http://digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/olympus-stylus-550wp.jpg" alt="" width="285" height="190" /> It's compact, rated at 10 megapixles, has a 2.5" lcd monitor, can do video with sound, takes a xD card (not included) or micro sd card using an adapter (also not included) and the two things that makes this a great paddling camera... it's waterproof to 10ft and it's only about $170.00. So you don't have to worry about it getting wet and if you do happen to drop it over the side without the floaty wristband attached, you're not watching a $500 camera spiraling down to join Davy in his locker.   Image quality isn't the greatest, but it's not horrible either. What do you want for less than $200? Did I mention it was waterproof?   This photo was taken at high resolution (3648x2736) then resized to 800x600 and compressed to ".jpg medium" using Adobe Photoshop v5.5's "save for web" feature. <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2562/3750938368_d6ba59c99a_o.jpg" alt="" />
