I'm planning on going to a water park this year and would like to bring my Canon digital camera but I don't want it damaged. So what's a good water proof camera I can bring but at a good price?


Answer
You have several options.

The cheapest option: Buy an disposable underwater film camera from Kodak or Fujifilm, which is essentially a disposable camera in a sealed plastic case.

Next cheapest option: Go onto eBay and look for a Canon WP-1 underwater 35mm film camera, usually used for around $20.

Next option: Find an underwater case for your existing Canon digital camera. That's what I did for my Canon point and shoot. The case cost about $125 and it's available at places like http://www.bhphotovideo.com for the Canon-branded model. However, you can also buy generic underwater soft cases for under $50 for a point and shoot. Check out http://www.aquapac.net which has cases typically sold at places like REI.

Finally, the most expensive option: a new digital camera that's waterproof. Both Olympus and Pentax make such cameras. For Olympus, look at the Olympus 1030SW or 850SW. For Pentax, try the Pentax W60 or W30.

A great camera for underwater and on land?

I want a camera that is waterproof and can take pictures underwater, but can also take wonderful shots on land. Any suggestions?


Answer
If I had to pick one now, I would buy the Nikon Cooplix AW100. It has GPS built-in

I still use my old Nikonos 35 mm underwater camera with 35mm f2.5, so don't need a digital yet
