i am wanting to make all if possible of my returns of fish to the river while they are still in the water as i beleive this gives them the best chance of survival ,i have however another pursuit i wish to carry out this season and thats getting pics of my fish , i own kodac z740

which im quite fond of and dont like the thought of it going splosh in the water while taking pics ,what im really looking for is good advice or any little tips or rigs anyone has to aid their photography and camera safety while in the water that reduces the chance of zapped equipment and wasted money , and yes i know "dont get it wet " but any good tips on which ways are best for taking pics in these conditions would be well appreciated

Ideally you do not want to take anything electrcal near water - at some point it will get wet - get a waterproof camera i say (thats what i do)

In the meantime you can get clear plastic waterproof zip lock bags which I have heard are pretty good.

Another option is to get a water proof camera case/bag. Google it and you'll find a lot of options; some inexpensive, some very expensive. The difference appears to be the depth of the water the case will handle.

yeh i think ill look at a few options given so thankyou again

I've got a Cannon 35mm old fashioned film camera; but it's totally waterproof.

I think it's an 'A1' viewfinder model, about ten years old,

I get superb photos with it; 'on land' too, even though the 'refractive index' is adjusted for underwater.

Underwater, it works okay, but fish don't always come out too well.
'Water clarity' must be perfect. ie. 'crystal clear'; forget any 'tea stained' waters.
