 It's surprising how good disposable cameras are these days --

 were taken with an 'underwater' disposable camera -- they'll handle
immersion fine, but the plastic waterproof shell also means you can throw
them off drops and they'll bounce.. I was impressed how well it works
outdoors, too -- I was expecting it to be optimised for underwater use, but
even above water it does well.

a_bay for underwater shots with the same sort of thing -- the water's the
problem, not the camera.
