I want to get a waterproof camera but i probably wouldn't use it that often so i dont want to spend a lot for it. I'm only willing to spend about $50 for it.
i have considered disposable but i want to be able to see my picture before i pay to have them printed and be able to delete the bad or blurry ones.



Answer
Vivitar ViviCam 5188 5MP CMOS, 8x Digital Zoom - $59
Waterproof to 15m/45'

Have you considered a disposable film camera?

Fujifilm Quick Snap Waterproof 35mm Fuji Disposable / Single Use Underwater Camera (5 Pack) - $36.50. Depth given as 17'.

That's five cameras. Image quality would be better than most digitals in your price range but remember it will cost you around $10 to get each one processed (24 pictures).
Available singly at $10

What is the best digital camera under £100 I should get?




=D


I would like to get a waterproof camera that takes the picture quickly after pressing the button (Don't know what that feature is called)
Most importantly I'd like it to be under £100
Thank you for your help :)



Answer
Unfortunately you're asking too much for the money. Waterproof and little or no shutter lag just isn't feasible for £100.

You can get an Aquapac for £25 which will enable you to submerge your camera. I've never used one but looking at the website will give you some more info: http://store.aquapac.net/explore-product-range/waterproof-camera-cases/small-camera-case-418.html

That just leaves the camera. In the sub-£100 bracket have a look at the Panasonic Lumix FS18, Fujifilm T200 and Nikon Coolpix S3100.

Just don't expect miracles :)

Also keep in mind that for a bit more money (£115-£125) you can get the Fuji XP30 and Olympus Tough TG-310, both of which can be used underwater without any bag or accessory.
