People are already using Canon’s groundbreaking 5D Mark II to shoot feature films, but we never thought we’d see the next Jaws captured with a DSLR. ‘Course, whether or not Mr. Spielberg will actually choose to use one remains to be seen, but at least the option’s there now. Famed underwater imaging company Sea&Sea has just outed its newest waterproof casing, promising to keep the 1080p-capable DSLR safe for up to 60 meters under the surface. The only issue? It’ll set you back almost as much as the camera body, or ¥283,500 ($2,998). Good thing you’ve got a Hollywood-sized budget, yeah?

Jimmie went to a bad part of Rio. Jimmie’s nice shiny camera got stolen.
Jimmie uglified his next camera. 4000 photos later, Jimmie still has his camera.
The moral: an ugly camera attracts less attention when you’re shooting in a rough area.
How to uglify your camera:
- Cover the shiny surface with artist’s tape or black photo tape, which come off without leaving residue on your camera.
- Color the tape with black and/or brown markers to make it look dirty.
- Use pieces of duct tape to make the camera look barely held together (layer the duct tape over artist’s tape to avoid sticky residue).
Using your ugly camera:
- Don’t carry a nice camera bag. Use a nondescript bag or a diaper bag instead.
- Turn off the LCD screen (or cover it up) and hold the camera to your eye instead. If thieves think you have a film camera, they won’t want it. Sad but true.
