First things first battery life is important I will not be traveling with a laptop or charging station its just me the camera and camping equipment, So battery life is important or at least low price extra batteries. Also i will be river rafting so could get wet and maybe even submerged for a few seconds. I was leaning towards a Contour HD for price small size and ease of use, just wish they had more mount options.

What do you recommend?



Answer
Have you considered the GoPro HD HERO line of POV cameras? While battery life (about 2.5 hrs) and cost of an extra battery (about $30 on Amazon) is comparable to the ContourHD, the GoPro HD HERO includes a waterproof enclosure that will protect your investment should it get submerged while rafting. There are also many mounting options available for GoPro cameras. Here is a comparison of the different GoPro HD HERO configurations available http://www.povcamera.net/which-gopro-hd-hero-is-right-for-you/

There are a few other POV camera options (http://www.povcamera.net/pov-camera-comparison/) but in my opinion, I would go with either the ContourHD or the GoPro HD HERO.

Enjoy your trip.

Waterproof camera limits?




question


I am going to buy a waterproof case for a camera. The underwater case states that it goes up to 10 ft. I am planning on going on a scuba diving trip. If I take the camera and go to 20ft or more, will the case leak or break? What happens when I pass the 10 ft limit?


Answer
The waterproof enclosure probably won't break but it might leak. If it is a flexible plastic case rather than a rigid one, it is also possible that the water may press on the case hard enough to push one or more of the buttons on your camera. The deeper you go, the more expensive your case is likely to get. Be prepared for some real sticker shock when you get down past 30 m (100 ft) or so, where the case is likely to exceed the cost of your camera body.
