Hey all! I'd like to use my digital camera on the beach, but want to protect it from sand and water. I've read somewhere about a baggie type bag that you can shoot right through. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and where you can purchase something like that? Any help or info would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

Here's one choice.

I've seen these and another brand that is similar on eBay a lot.

I have never used on so i can't tell you how well they work.

Try AquaPac: http://www.aquapac.net/usstore/#1X0.

L.L. Bean carries it, as well...compact size: http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?storeId=1&catalogId=1&langId=-1&categoryId=49838&sc1=Search&feat=sr

or Large size: http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?storeId=1&catalogId=1&langId=-1&categoryId=49835&sc1=Search&feat=sr

I used this last time down to STT...worked great - MAKE SURE THE SEAL IS TIGHT BEFORE YOU TAKE IT IN THE WATER! Also, if you have any extra silica packs (out of shoe boxes, etc.) stick those in the pack before taking underwater, as they help absorb any moisture that intrudes into the case.
