Hey Bill, I hear you. I got super deals on my Canon A630 and A640's.... so the housing (original cost) would have been more than the cameras ! That's why when they went to 65% off, I had to snag one before they were gone.<br />
<br />
BTW though (not bragging just because I own 3 of them) but I honestly believe the little Canon A-6XX series cameras, were some of the best point and shoot cameras, for the best price Canon ever made. Inexpensive, but very high quality, with excellent photo quality.<br />

Anyway, for those not so lucky to get a high tech, camera specific housing like I got, for so cheap, yes, the "glorified zip-lock" seems totally workable.<br />

For years I've been sticker shocked at the price of underwater housings, and because my cameras are nothing special $200-$400, I could never justify the cost of the housing. Last year I found a product by Aqua-Pac. This item is nothing more than a glorified ziplock bag with a lock seal, but works rather well down to a depth of 15 ft.<br />

Hey Walt, well mine is a Canon brand housing, so of course they don't make one for your Nikon....<br />
<br />
But other companies do. Only thing I hate to have to tell you though, underwater housings for SLR cameras are WAAAAY expensive ! I think most are going to be in the $1000 to $1500 range. And the thing that sucks, is that they are really no more technical, nor neccessarily any better quality than the Canon brand one I paid $77 for.

And the thing that sucks, is that they are really no more technical, nor neccessarily any better quality than the Canon brand one I paid $77 for. It's just that if your using an SLR underwater, they assume your a pro, who's getting paid for his work, and they figure, you'd be more likely to "pay" $1000 to $1500, where a hobbyist using a fixed lens camera, likely wouldn't.<br />
<br />
Here's one for your D70 though; <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/562359-REG/Nimar_NI303D_1617_NI303D_Underwater_Housing_f_.html">http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/562359-REG/Nimar_NI303D_1617_NI303D_Underwater_Housing_f_.html</a><br />

Sometimes the word "awesome" gets thrown around a little loosely...<br />
<br />
But this is truly awesome! It makes me want one <b><i>really</i></b> bad.
