So the kayaking bug has bit my dad, who has been a long time photographer. His current camera is a Canon 10D with a variety of lenses.
On his Christmas list he has "a water proof bag for a medium sized camera" which I assume means for his 10D with attached lens.
I KNOW there are a ton of generic "Dry bag" solutions out there that would fit the camera. What I'm wondering about, is how awkward these are in practice, and if there isn't something out there that does as good a job keeping the equipment dry (when it is stowed away), but is a bit easier to access should a good shot present itself upon rounding a bend in the river.
Ideally... something with relatively quick/simple access. Realistically the bag would need to be at his feet in the kayak... so a pop-up top would best since the bottom of the bag would probably get water splashed on it.
Any suggestions or other solutions are welcomed. Thanks!
