best underwater camera bag image
Alex
Are there any underwater cameras with Manual shooting modes and the ability to capture high-ISO long exposures (at least 30 sec shutter would be ideal)? I'm looking for a camera that I can take camping (involving kayaking, swimming, etc.) and also be able to capture decent astrophotography shots that are often available in camping areas, since they are away from light pollution.
I could always buy a waterproof case for my DSLR, but I try to pack light when camping and I wouldn't want the extra bulk of a DSLR + waterproof case. Also, DSLR housing cases are really expensive!
Any suggestions for a waterproof, high-performing compact camera?
Answer
No. Ruggedized cameras don't have the same capabilities you need. If you are only shooting at or near the surface, and not diving with it, you can get less expensive surf bags for your dSLR. EWA marine makes the best low cost units. I have not used them, but Outex (http://www.outex.com/) housings look really interesting.
If you want to go mirrorless, here is a good deal on a Olympus E-PM1 camera with a housing. You would need to add strobes if you want to dive with it, but it would be good for near surface work as is.

Answer
There is a slight chance you draw the moisture out. Open all the doors and remove batteries, memory cards, etc. Put your camera in a plastic bag and cover it with raw rice. Let it sit for 2-7 days. Remove camera, carefully clean, insert fresh/recharged battery and memory card, say a prayer to your favorite god, and turn it on.
