what do you use for taking photo's on the water?

[Big-Dan]

I need some help and suggestions on finding a camera to take photos while fishing. Im looking for a digital camera,for ease of loading pictures on the computer, also im looking for one less than like 50 dollars. Some thing i just keep in my tackle box. anyone have any suggestions.

For under $50 the only thing I can think of is buying a disposable camera and get a cd of the pics when you get it developed.  They make some digital waterproof camera's but they are over $100.  I just use an old digital camera kept in a zip-loc baggie.

bummer, i wish i could just find something that takes cellphone quality photos, instead of taking out my cellphone and risk breaking it or droping it. and plus making cd's is just inconvenient

FWIW, I take pics with my cell phone out of my kayak.  Not much room for error.  If your afraid of dropping it, why even have it?  Just pay the $5 a month for insurance on it (which you should probly have anyways) and if you drop it in the water or break it, they replace it.  I think Ive busted or lost about 5 phones in the last 2 years and they always replace them. 

Not trying to be a jerk, just giving you a simple solution.   ;D

If you want decent quality pics at that price point you may want to check out ebay for a used camera that someone is going to upgrade. Cameras that were $200 a couple years ago are probably going for around $50 now. Good luck!

I bought a NIB Kodak Zi8 from ebay $57 ;D

Its a great little camera and is a little beast with HD video. Good photo's and will suit your needs!

I seldom have the need to take a picture when I'm fishing,when I do I just use my cell phone.  I try to keep the cell phone in a waterproof case when it is in the boat.

ive taken lots of pics withit underwater in a pool and stuff at the beach and its a trooper. expensive... but its worth it not to have a heartattack everytime i get a camera near water. we just took a float off an old net and attatched it to the lanyard.....

it's more than 50 dollars but i use one of those flip cam corders so i have a video and you can take pictures from the video when you put it on the computer.
