I took my point and shoot Samsung this spring/fall and it's not waterproof, so I just kept in a small zip-lock in my shirt pocket. It never got wet thru heavy rain, but it obviously wouldn't survive a complete submersion. . Rather than a ziplock try a Dry Bag a 1 or 1&1/2 liter (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) I have taken my camera for a plunge 2 times and not gotten a drop on it. Role the top down a revolution or 2 and fold the top down so it is about the middle of the camera and snap the rolled top around the camera.

	I have a Dry-Bag that is a little smaller than my day pack. If I'm in rough water or a heavy all day rain, I'll put the camera in the bag. 99% of the time I keep it in shirt pocket or Napoleon pocket of my Windshirt. I like the zip-lock becasue it protects from sweat/ condensation but my camera is readily accessible. I've only dumped 1 time and that was in a true solo. That Souris Q-16 tandem is stable especially with a load. I'll trade that stability for speed in a solo anytime, at least for the way I travel and the size of my packs and gear load. I need to get a digital waterproof camera. I have a Nikon 35 mm that is/was great, but it's heavy and only has a 90 mm zoom. It's now my car camping camera. With all the new waterproof digitals and the expanding features, I need one and sooner rather than later. Like cars, lot's of choices, hard to decide.
