Yes! My camera housing came!

 

Maple Lake: What lies beneath?

So excited.

I took the leap and instead of getting a ziplock cheapie "waterproofing" bag for my Powershot camera, after researching and finding again and again how the bags don't work I scoured the Internet for the underwater housing for my camera  and it arrived today.

To back track a tad, the dozen or so reviews of a bag enclosure for the Powershot didn't complain about leakage--which is great. What they were very disappointed in was the quality of the photos--there wasn't any. Obviously, this defeats the entire purpose of using an underwater housing in the first place.

So though I have no big plans to scuba on the Great Barrier Reef, I will be at the lake for a month and who knows what may lie beneath? Additionally, we now have a canoe which I'm excited about using along with the camera but was terribly paranoid about shifting around in to take a shot and plunging camera and all into the lake. No more. I'll put the camera in the housing when I'm on or in the lake!
