I posted the message below in 2004, but never took any action. I'm sure
things have changed, so maybe there are new cameras out there I
should take
a look at. Several people mentioned Optio at the time, so maybe they are
still a good choice. I'd prefer digital. I recently went on a paddle,
and
one person had a waterproof enclosure that seemed to do well for him. A
little bulky, but he'd used it many times and we were in class II water
quite often when he used it.

========================
I'd like to take my camera with me more often on kayak trips, but am
always
concerned about it ending up in the water. Are there reasonably
inexpensive,
$300 or less, cameras that are waterproof and have some flexibility in
adding lens? I typically use a Canon Rebel G with two or three
different
lenses. One is a 300mm. Perhaps there is some way to enclose it in a
bag
meant for the purposes of protecting equipment from a dunking?

Yes, there are a handful of 3x waterproof digital cameras available
from Pentax, Olympus, and a few others that are perfect for snapshots
and landscape shots. For more serious photography your Rebel can be
housed in a waterproof Pelican box. The problem I have is that the box
is a few inches too big to fit comfortable between my knees. Measure
carefully before ordering a box.

Who makes enclosures rather than carrying cases?

Canon has them for most of their digital cameras.
