I'm just wondering how people who bring their DSLRs into the parks and do water rides protect their camera?

I don't do the near submersion rides (Kali, California River Rapids). But for all the rest I use these:

I don't usually bring my DSLR to the beach or water parks. I do have two options for when I am near/at water

1- My Sony TX20/30: Waterproof P&S camera
2- I own an underwater housing unit for my older Sony NEX 5N [gives me Manual control similar to my Full Frame A7]

Kungaloosh!

Got a panasonic FZ300. Goes for $499

I got it because it is splash/dust proof.

I just put my camera in my bag and go.

My nikons (D7000 and D750) have decent weather sealing, o i just don't really worry about a little water or rain.

So does the Panasonic fz300.

If you are going on Splash Mountain and don't plan on taping the big plug just get a plastic bag from one of the stores. Put it into the bag and wrap tight.
