So, I went into Costco about a month ago and ended up leaving with a brand new impulse buy – a waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof, dustproof camera. I have always wanted to take my photography underwater, as I’ve always enjoyed the cool sense of peace being underwater brings. At the pool, I’m often times doing laps to see how far I can get without coming up for air.
I took my great new camera over to Helen’s pool (thank you Helen, we LOVE the pool!) last week to try out my new toy and was amazed at the cool pictures it was taking. All was going great until I bonked it (so much for shockproof) and the battery compartment came open and got it wet. I was able to pull the memory card and battery out quickly and was hoping to salvage the camera. I got a the few pictures that I had taken off the card, but the camera is toast.
It’s off to Costco to return it and see if maybe the one I had was just a dud.
