I just added a Canon Optura 30 camcorder to my digital camera collection. Next project is to build a waterproof housing. I'm going to build a unit based roughly on a design by Andy Zarlengo (http://www.wakeworld.com/articles/2003/housing.asp). The title of his article is "Low Income Housing Project" - which is funny unless you are trying to use Google to find it!

My digital arsenal now includes:
Pentax Optio 33WR -- so waterproof I wear it around my neck or tucked in my PFD in all conditions
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ10 -- which stays in a Pelican case unless the water is calm or I'm on shore
Canon Optura 30  -- soon to be housed in a waterproof case

Once the housing is done (and fully tested!), I need to figure out how to mount it on my boat. Any suggestion?
