I wouldn`t mins getting a waterproof ccamera. I would prefer a digital but I like film cameras too. I want to buy something fairly inexpensive but something thatt isn`t a peice of poop. I want it mainly so that I don`t have to worry about it getting wrecked when colletiing or camping and doing outdoorsly stuff. Any help would be appreciated.

If you do a search for "underwater camera," you should see several threads about waterproof digitals, general point-and-shoots, and fish photography in general. Many of those threads are multiple pages, they might be helpful. Cheers

Yeah, the waterproof Olympus digitals start at about $100 new and are probably your best bet for a decent waterproof digital. There are some digital cameras out there that are less expensive, but I don't have a good feel for the quality. I got my dad a waterproof Canon Elph Sport film camera. I'm not sure he's ever used it, but Canons are usually decent. The price of this camera seems to have climbed since I bought it...

Hasselblad + Baggie - the perfect combination.

You have to be smart enough to close the baggie. I wasn't, so I had to replace my camera.

Why bother with the baggie? Just slather that sucker with polyurethane. Water damage will not be an issue!
