best waterproof camera brand image
Alicia
If i put my regular, non waterproof camera in a ziplock bag [etc.] and put it in ANOTHER ziplock bag,
would it stay waterproof?
i know the picture or video would be blurry but would the camera have a high chance of getting damaged?
i put salt in a ziplock bag [only one] and put it in a bucket of water and it didn't get wet.
what do you think?
Answer
The safest way to go is to use OEM waterproof casings. There are alternative casings available that are sometimes a fraction of the cost but at least there is some sense of security with a brand name behind you.
That said, if none of these options are available to you and you must use a Ziplock, know the possible risk involved. You'll get people (people who respect their equipment) who tell you to buy waterproof cameras, casings, and whatnot and maybe some daredevils who tell you to go for it (people who've probably never done such a thing but would be happy to see you do it). It's ultimately your decision; no one can guarantee that it'll work.
If you're going to do it, take the necessary precautions. For example, push ALL the air out of the bags (water pressure may force the air out causing the seals to break and leak). Also, place a thin strip of brown paper or the like, whether it be towel or from a paper bag, between the first and second bag. If water leaks into the first bag it'll serve as an indicator.
For "better" results, try, if you have access to them, using condoms. It sounds silly but it works. If you're not old enough to access these, think it's gross, or don't know what they are then this paragraph and the following link do not exist... http://lifehacker.com/software/gadgets/friday-fun-waterproof-your-electronics-navy-seal+style-252183.php

What is a good digital camera for the outdoors?

I need a durable, waterproof camera that takes good pictures and videos that cost $300 or less. Any suggestions would be great :)
Answer
You were recommended GoPro brand. That is not a name brand camera. Look into Canon and Olympus brands.
