Re: underwater photography

I have tried both and would recommend a proper water proof camera. I found
in the housings I had (both for cine and still) that the controls were quite
fiddly. For the stills I bought a Nikonoss and is was superb.

Which is the better way to go:

1. buy an underwater housing for the camera I already have (Canon A2
35mm)

- or -

2. buy a water proof camera?

I'm not looking for the greatest capabilities - I primarily shoot on
the ground and will continue to do so - but I would like to have the
ability to get some water shots. I'm not looking to spend 100's of
dollars - just looking at it like a hobby of sorts - If I get into it
then maybe in a few years I'll spend a $1000 or more on a
housing/camera, but right now I do not want to spend more than $300 -
I'd prefer a solution cheaper than that. Is this even possible given
the $ constraint?

Thanks,
Jim
