My definition of a "Canoe Camera" (back when Tri-X was 85c a roll and
color was $2.35). You are paddling along and the camera falls into 15' of
water..... "Damn! that was color film!!!"

I've been taking cameras on float trips for years. I messed around with
waterproof boxes, the waterproof disposable cameras and even a Nikonos II for
a while. My current solution is the best so far -- a Canon waterproof point
and shoot camera (the red and white one, WP-1 I think it is). I paid $40 for
it used at a pawn shop. It does a great job and I don't have to worry about
it at all. A wonderful solution for the on-the-river party pics and snapshots
(which is all I ever attempt to do when floating)
