I want to take underwater photos in shallow reefs
Answer
Two questions - how deep are you going to go & what's your budget?
Shallow/cheap options - you can either buy a waterproof digital camera (usually ok for swimming pool depths - 2-3m or so) or you can use a flexible housing for a camera you already have (usually ok for 5-8m or so).
Fuji finepix is quite good at around £100;

or the Canon Powershot D10 for just over £200;

A selection of flexible housings;

If you are going deeper than about 10m you need a rigid housing, otherwise water pressure pushes buttons you don't want pushing. A selection of compact camera & housing packages here;

These will be a few hundred pounds for both camera & housing.
At the top end of the scale is housings for DSLR's - these are several thousand pounds worth once you've bought strobes/ports as well.

Need reviews for coleman waterproof digital cameras?
confusedon
They sell a pretty cheap underwater camera for around 80 bucks. Ive never even known that coleman makes cameras in general, so im curious if anyone knows how they are. Its a 12 megapixel camera with only 640x480 video. 33 ft waterproof and 3.2ft shockproof. Looking for reviews or if anyone knows about coleman cameras in general.
One of my main worries is also shutter lag time.
Answer
They are on the do not buy list for amazon, a lot of returns for leaking camaras.
