Jobe3

I am looking for a good waterproof digital camera 9+ mega pixels that is fairly durable and can go at least 10ft down. I want to use it to go snorkeling and other miscellaneous underwater activities. Also I do like to customize my pictures a little bit.

Thank You for your help!

Both a friend of mine and I have Olympus... Hers is a bit different than mine but mine is the Stylus 1030W and I couldn't be happier with it!!! Its Waterproof up to 33ft. Shockproof, Freeze proof and 10.1MP but i think Olympus came out with one thats a little better and more expensive... I have has mine for over a year and have dropped it mannnnnnyyyy times and its a champ!


I know in that line they have a bunch of different models... Mine is also metal and very durable and i just love it!!! My friends is not metal and pink and she has had hers for like 2 1/2 years and still loves it!!!

I can't remember how much it was i think around 175 but i know if you get it on ebay it will be cheaper with a bunch of extras and can get a warrenty (I did). And you can customize a bit to (back&white, Shopia, Frames, Red eye, Crop, label etc...)

What is the best waterproof digital camera currently on the market?

How's My H

I'm a little skeptical on what I should get. Whenever I plan on buying a digital camera all I look for is reviews reviews reviews.

Any suggestions on what I should get? I was thinking on the Olympus Stylus 1030SW, it seems to have nice quality to the pictures and seems durable, but then again I'm skeptical.

Btw I'm going to be using this camera for underwater picture taking only, I already have an SLR and a normal point and shoot for regular shots.

Thanks :]

Ah, best P&S underwater camera ... yes the Olympus is one of the better P&S underwater camera.

Scientists use underwater housing that can cost nearly double the cost of the camera inside ... usually a nice $2,000 to $10,000 camera.
