Waterproof/Shockproof digital camera

So much to shockproof:

 

My casio dropped from maybe 50cm to the floor. It was in a very soft (case logic) poach. The camera had of course no scratch and was perfect. But the 1Gb SD card had an error afterwards. The cam was of course not ON and there was not any writing when it dropped down.

 

So if you really need shockproof look also for shockproof memory cards.

This is a cheap alternative. Trojan clear, non-lubricated.

Awesome. I guess ultra thin would be best. Don't have any other use for them right now. hehe.

 

Do they sell shockproof memory cards?

I'm very interested in the Canon. It's heavier than my old point and shoot, but I'm not at the SLR stage, plus I need something that's light enough to entice me to carry it around with me.

Or shock proof trojans??

For thursday's method, they should be also unused. And avoid those with ribs or dots. Use also the latex type, the new 0.02 (like Okamoto Nude) are made from a plastic material that doesn't stretch as well as latex.

 

Alternately you can buy a soft waterproof poach. Google for DicaPac :

Yes, there is for example "SanDisk Extreme". They are more expensive. I would rather backup more often then paying those extra ¥¥¥¥. IMHO memory is also not THAT shock sensitive, seems I bad luck that one time.
