wp-fxf50: underwater photography

9th-feb-2010 - posted by dtra

ok, so i found one of these on ebay the other day, and since i am a certified open water diver, i thought why not. i was also looking into a case for my k200d, but after some research it looked like that would be very expensive, and since diving may be a once a year (or less) thing for me, i thought better just go the cheap option (for now). well, it arrived today, and i've tested it out, in a bucket , and it did seem to keep the water out, so here's hoping it works out in the wild. i've got no idea when might be the next chance i get to go diving, or even snorkelling to try it out, but rest assured it is now part of the travel kit. i did take one photo while i was testing it in the bucket, but won't post it cos i can't be bothered, and it was a pretty stupid photo. i probably should work out my buoyancy control and equalisation patterns before i go advanced with a camera, but since i hardly ever go, it'd be wasted if i didn't take the photos when i do go. that'll all come with experience, i hope.

picture taken from amazon, they won't have stock though, there might be one left on ebay though if you're fast.
