So I have had bad experiences with my digital cameras with either spilling water on them or dropping them...I'm moving up now to more expense cameras that are not as easy to replace because of the price. I was wondering if there was a case out there that could withstand water and dropping even though I plan on being very careful with it things happen. I have not decided on which DSLR camera I will get but I think it will be a Canon. Is there any cases like the otterbox for the iPhone (which I have that is AMAZINGG!!!) but for a DSLR cameras? I have been searching but all I have come up with is ones that keep it protected while not in use. But I want one that protects it while in use and on the go. Thanks so much<3 Will choose best answer

There is nothing that can protect your camera from a drop better than a neck strap or other sling strap device. The Pelican case mentioned above is for storage, you can't use the camera in a case.
The only thing that comes close to what you ask for is 2 different products, and you can't use both together. There is a foam rubber "armor" that sits around the body, but really only gets in the way. And there are waterproof cases for cameras, but they are intended for diving or foul weather use... not everyday photography. They are also very expensive, usually costing more than the camera body to begin with.

Dslr cameras for cheap?
Q. Ive been looking for a camera for quite a while with no luck id like to stay under $400 it can be used.
Answer
Buying a DSLR on a tight budget is problematic, because nobody really tells you just how much other gear you will need/want on top of the camera.
Even if/when you DO find a DSLR plus lens in your price range, there will always be way more expenses ahead.
You'll want and/or need a few other things such as tripod, filters, a bag, sensor cleaning gear, a second battery, memory cards, perhaps a remote shutter release etc.
That's just the small stuff - I can guarantee you that you'll also want more lenses. You'll probably buy cheap ones at first, then regret that, then start saving for the good quality ones, instead.
You'll also want a decent flash some day.
See how that list just goes on and on?
Owning a DSLR isn't cheap - at least not until you have built up a nice stash of gear. When you look at an advertised kit price, you do NOT see all the other gear that you'll need/want with it.
Just some food for thought........ I'm not trying to talk you out of this, just trying to be helpful in case you haven't thought about all this yet.
