best waterproof camera bag image
raskolniko
I just got a camera bag, and according to everyone in my family its ugly as crap. Lowerpro adventura 170. I honestly didnt even look at it; I was just looking at how waterproof it was, how hard it would be to steal it, the padding, and essentially function. Either way, do you look for appearance in a bag? Should I?
Answer
a camera bag can be a f***ing eyesore, but if it has padding out the ying yang, that's really all that matters...so long as there's still enough room in the bag to fit all your equipment.
if you have a bag that looks awesome, but little padding, it's not going to avoid damage if someone accidentally kicks it or you bang it against a door frame because you're in a hurry to somewhere.

Could i take pictures under water with a digital camera this way?

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?

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
