Re: underwater cameras

My 2 cents for a low-cost "permenant" solution...I have taken over
3000 pics with my Kodak 3.2 Megapixel CX4300 (presently at Walmart for
$99 and my Camerashield http://www.fuertecases.com/CameraShield.html

case that only is $44 dollars! That's it! Whole package for under
$150. It does take GREAT pics and the batteries last for over 300
pics. I have no affiliation with either company I am just a PADI
rescue diver that "Loves" GREAT DEALS on fun stuff like this. I feel
there is no better solution. I have taken it down to 140'. The case
states 100' but it is lab tested to 400' (aircraft grade lexan). The
only control you get is a shutter button but that is all I need! I
keep the flaskh on "fill flash" and just snap away. I'd rather dive
and enjoy the dive than spend all my air playing with
delete/zoom/special effects...plenty of time for that at home on the
computer. Good luck and safe diving in 2004!
