Waterproof Cameras:- can I still get film developed

[Judders]

I think this might be a wet trip. I was considering getting a waterproof digital camera but looking at the prices in YM this month, it is not going to hppen so I have dug out my old waterproof, but I have no idea if I can still get the film developped, its about three years since I tried!

Does anyone else still use film?

Yes, no problem, usual processors, or Boots.

I still have and use a 35mm Nikonos V - with trannie film - designed as a diver's camera. It's remarkably robust, living as it does in my sailbag....

On a side (but related note) ...

Some family have just returned from the far east and I got them to pick me up the Olympus camera tested in YM.

In fact they got the newer model (725SW - YM tested 720SW and gave it best value for money) - it was under £180 over there!!

The new one goes down to 5 metres - very impressive bit of kit

Of course you insisted that they declare the camera and pay the customs duty for it as they entered the UK Jonny? Thus bringing the price up above the UK standard price /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Of course!! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif (However this model has yet to be released in the UK, and is therefore technically priceless!! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif)

Sony U60...

I have a Sony Cybershot DSC-U60, which is a superb little camera for extreme conditions. Waterproof. Designed for one-handed use. Does the job. No longer in production, but often come up on eBay for about £80.
