speaking of photography, ive always wanted to take pictures of the surf from the surf. ive been looking for a waterproof digital camera. anyone know of any affordable ones? even if their not that good, like a point and shoot, if its digital and i can hook it up to my computer so i dont have to pay 7 bucks every time i want to see my shots, ill be good.

I've been looking into this for a while.... I've always wanted to do this but my dads yellling at me that i dont actually want to do it, and i just wat to spend money :roll: . Theres some water proof one time cameras for 8 bucks, but there film. The cheapest thing you can get is a case for your camera. You might be able to find a water proof camera, but it wont be too cheap.

get a nicon d70

If you have some money get a nicon d70, £800. You can get a housing from

camerasunderwater.co.uk for about £150. That is if you have some money to spend.

Or get a cheaper digi camera and get a dive bag houseing for about £100 again try cameras under water.

Or suffer the cost of developing and get the fuji water proof one use cameras. They are the best....

good luck
