What Camera Do You Use?

[flydigital]

That's the one.. I just ordered the other day haven't got it yet but the reviews look good. I'll post here when I have some experience with it. Plan to strap it to my arm.

I've used the cheaper $12 dry paks or whatever they are called. It worked for a few months then started leaking. These DryCase's are supposed to be better made - and they are completely clear so you can use the camera.

I've taken the majority of my pictures with a Panasonic LUMIX camera - not waterproof. It took great pictures. I just bought a Sony DSC-TX-10 that is waterproof to 16ft. I'll post some pictures of my trip tp the Island on Monday.

Curious to know how it works out for you.
For me, my arm isn't big enough for the strap to go around - funny, in the store when I tried it, it worked. Also, by taking all the air out, the suction was so tight on the touch screen I could not get it to work. I was really fed up with it. I guess I can try again (with more sleeves) and not take all the air out.

Fuji XP10 (now the xp20) takes great pics for the price. Its survived an entire lobster season so far. Never had to worry about keeping it dry, just clip it to my pfd and off I went.

Costco has the Fuji XP20 Waterproof Digital Camera going on sale for $40 off starting June 9th. There's a coupon in their flyer, or online. It looks like the regular price is $179.

Quick follow up...

I've been out with the drycase about 5 times now, and I like it lots. The touch screen works fine as long as your hands aren't ice cold and wet (then it works mostly but requires a little more effort). I suck out all the air. The speaker is a bit muffled of course (you can leave a little extra air and it works almost full volume) but still good enough in the vacuum to make calls. Pics and video (incl underwater) have worked great. I am using a neck strap and tuck it into my waders when not in use (mainly to keep those darn sabiki hooks and what not from puncturing it). The material used is better than most similar "pack" cases and I think it will last quite a while. I have no fear of leakage with this unit. Anyway, two thumbs up for the drycase - if you have a non-rolling cursor (blackberry) smartphone and want to use that for the camera its the way to go.

The coolest thing with this so far has been out there fishing and being able to pull up the LJ cam and see what is in store for landing

i would say, that the Go Pro would be a better choice, not only does it take pic but record in HD

I've had a Go Pro HD for a couple years, its pretty good for what it does, action cam stuff. But the fisheye lense, lack of decent audio, and terrible low-light quality make it a one trick pony. Not very practical for taking normal pictures or non helmet-cam type video. On the plus side it does have the cool burst photo feature and the overall video quality is excellent. For me I gotta have both.
