ok so i was in walmart yesterday and i saw you can get a box of jumbo ziploc bags for like 4 dollars and i think this would work if you put a couple bags over your camera if you wanted to shoot from a tube or something?

except that shooting thru a couple of layers of ziploc bags would produce crappy looking video or still shots. there are some relatively cheap plastic housings you can buy that have some kind of either plastic or glass port for the lens.

Besides why in the world would you trust your camera to a zip lock freezer bag?

hey i hunted around for a while to find the best quality and cheapest underwater housing for my camcorder so i could use it in the water to film, there's a site called keepitdrycase.com they have heavy duty pvc underwater housings with glass ports for the lens to get the best pic, they have cases to fit any camera for around 250$ depending how large your camera is, definitly worth every penny I love it
