What casing for CAMERAS in the water?

[morecruise4me]

Sorry for the misspell. Can anyone tell me if they have used the soft "aquapac" camera casing and how well they have worked? They say they are waterproof up to 15 feet. We want to take some pictures while snorkeling and don't want to spend a lot of money since we only go about once a year. Any suggestions would be great. We have a Fuji F50 point and shoot. Thanks.

The aquapac is kinda hard to use. It sometimes interferes with a lot of the functions of the camera.

 

You could get an underwater housing for your camera and have all the functions easy to use.

 

Remember this when looking at housings. You can use it topside and at home also. I use my housings at the beach to keep sand out of the camera and to protect it from damage when I'm out doing things.

Aqua Pac - definitely hard to use - we placed out Kodak camera in it and tried to use it on our last trip in January. I took it to the shoreline, tried to take an underwater picture, and it was so difficult, I left it on the beach. I did not want to be bothered so much by tryting to get a good picture that I did not enjoy the snorkeling experience.
