From: "Robert J. Matter" <rjmatter_at_prodigy.net> > I would like to get a hard waterproof case for my compact 5"x3"x2" digital camera. > Not briefcase size, just something with liberal padding big enough for the camera, > 4AA batteries, and a flash card. Opinions? > The Pelican cases are best, but tend to be bulky. You could take a look at the GSI cases. They're Lexan and are available in four sizes. You could add padding (use closed-cell foam just in case). The GSI cases are quite waterproof. I use one for wallet, keys, cell phone, gps, glasses and other odds and ends and store it behind the seat in my kayak. I've had it sit in water for a couple of days at a time with the seal in the water (i.e. the box on edge, not lieing flat) without a leak. There are loops on the ends of the case that can take webbing. I made a belt out of webbing and a Fastex buckle and use that to secure it to the kayak so it doesn't float off in an upset. They are also affordable at US$17-$37. See http://www.gsioutdoors.com/, select the Lexan page and scroll to the very bottom.
