Rebreather World - View Single Post - What digital camera casing for 40m+ diving?

Hi All,

Does anyone have any experience of underwater camera cases rated to 40m, specifically have you taken them deeper and what would you push them too?

I ask because I want a digital camera for underwater pictures and want to take pictures in the 60m+ range. For the sake of argument, <=100m. I don't want to buy a camera now to have to replace it later... Cases like this seem to be few and far between - either they or the cameras are very expensive...

Does such a beast exist please?

Got to be digital. Cheap good! Would consider eBay/second hand if people recommend a make...

By the way, is there any way of holding open the shutter on a digital like the Bulb exposure used to be on film cameras? You know, for taking low light pictures of stars etc?

TIA!

John
