I don't make this up folks. Here's a hysterical article about a guy who found a Nikon camera with housing floating around in Key West. It has pics and video on it and he tracked down the owner who lost it in Aruba last November.

It appears the camera was brought to the Keys by a sea turtle who somehow turned the camera on and taped himself. See video below.

Unreal. Here's the full article. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100614/ap_on_re_us/us_camera_s_odyssey)

Mike that turtle has no future in video .... can't hold the camera steady, focus or even make a pleasing composition :D:)

The camera had an ikelite housing, so I guess this stands to make them look good.

Wouldn't it be interesting if it had a GPS tracking device in it.:)
