I second the notion on the Weathermatic. I think it takes pretty good 
pictures with faster film (200 or so), but be real still if using the 100 
speed film. I have seen it for $240 USD on occasion. Type it in a search 
engine for best pricing.

For quality shots I use a Canon EOS and protect it with an Ortlieb padded 
camera case/dry bag. I hate deck loads so I keep it between my legs. Very 
nice bag that features a zip type seal and a roll up feature. It cost me 
about $75.00. The Canon does not come out of the bag in choppy water unless I 
use my greenland paddle as an outrigger or even slide a float on it.
