I'm going on a 3 day canoe trip down the Colorado in June. We wont be hitting any really rough water as we will be canoeing down a calmer stretch of the river. I would love to bring my D-80 as we will be going on day hikes with some beautiful scenery. What would you guys recommend for protecting it from the water? There are definitely possibilities of tip-overs, so something that can float and is easily visible in the water is preferable.
I'm currently looking at a dry bag similar to this one:

Alot of people have suggested it and a friend of mine has said he has used a dry bag to protect his dslr without any problems. I wont be taking it out while on the river, so I dont need an underwater housing, just something that will keep it dry in case of a tip-over. I would also have it inside a lowepro protective carrying bag, in addition to having it inside the dry bag.
I'm really not looking to spend more then $30. I've also heard that pelican cases work well, but they are out of my price range.
So would you guys recommend dry bags, or is there something else relatively close to my budget that would work better?
Thanks
