best waterproof digital cameras under 300 image
xoxo
I want to be able to take pictures when i am on my Jet ski etc. My price range is under $300 but i can't seem to find one. They are all too buldgy or just not nice looking. This is for a teenager so please help me if you have any suggestions. Thanks!
Answer
You presently have 5 choices. The Canon Powershot D10, the Fujifilm Finepix Z33WP, the Olympus Stylus Tough 8000, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 and the Pentax Optio W60.
The D10 ($330) and the Tough 8000 $400), have the best depth ratings, 33 feet. The Pentax is good to 13 feet, the other two are only go to 10'.
The Finepix is the cheapest, $200, and tie's with the D10 for cool looking! (The D10, has interchangable face plates)
The Pentax has the widest zoom range, 5x, but only is 10 mpx, vs, 12 for all the others but the Fine pix which is also 10.
The Pentax and Panasonic record video at 720p.(1280 x 720) The othere 3 at 640x480.
If I were you, I'd chose either the Olympus or the Canon, based in the fact they are probably more water and shock proof.
In your case probably the Canon, it's only $30 more than you want to spend.

Is it a good idea to hold off on getting a new digital camera so I can get a good priced digital diving camera?
All Hail H
It seems silly to get a camera for both diving and personal use, though I've never purchased a diving camera, beyond the 100 feet non-digital throwaways.
If so, any recs for what's now a good priced digital diving camera? I'm hoping to get something less than $300 for the next time I go diving.
Answer
For that price I would recommend 2 options. If you want a 100 ft safe camera, there sealife mini reef is good. It is a unibody ruggedized waterproof camera. And is pretty standard gear around here. Another option is finding an auction for an olympus housing, you can usually find one for under 200. and a camera for under 100. The benefit here is that you can usually find an optical zoom. The mini is only a digital. If you are willing to go a little more (350) the sealife 800 is getting pretty good reviews all around.
good luck
