waterproof cameras with viewfinder image
Quintin
...Can you recommend a good one in a low price?
I would like it to fit in my shirt pocket. There are so many on the market that I become overwhelmed.
Answer
I like to give a selection of items in answer to questions about the "best" of something. Hopefully you'll be able to find the one that best suits YOU, instead of just one that I feel fits my own needs. Good luck!

Best ultra-compact digital camera:
Canon PowerShot SD630 Digital ELPH (*est. $250)
The .8-inch thick Canon PowerShot SD630 Digital ELPH is drawing praise not just as an outstanding ultra-compact digital camera, but also as an outstanding 6-megapixel camera overall. First and foremost is picture quality, which is excellent both indoors and out. The feature set, though not as robust as on some ultra-compact digital cameras, still provides the photographer with plenty of tools to produce even better results. Ergonomics are also good, with well-positioned controls and a huge 3-inch LCD display (but no optical viewfinder). The Canon shoots with less shutter lag than most cameras, though a few other cameras are even faster. (compare prices)
Best features:
Casio Exilim EX-Z850 (*est. $280)
Reviews say that the 8-megapixel Casio Exilim EX-Z850, which measures just under an inch thick, offers a great combination of photo quality and features, but what really sets this camera apart is its large range of manual controls, rare in ultra-compact digital cameras. Shutter lag is faster than nearly all other cameras, which means you're less likely to miss a shot. Photo quality is excellent overall, though noise can be an issue at higher ISO speeds, and some experimentation with the camera's many settings may be needed to get the best results. Reviews say that this camera is great for those who like to fiddle with controls, but that the Canon SD630 takes better shots out of the box. (compare prices)
Best budget ultra-compact camera:
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50 (*est. $210)
The 6-megapixel Sony camera is a budget point-and-shoot camera that delivers a lot of performance for the money. While there's not much here in the way of features, and almost no manual control, critics say that the camera offers very good image quality and a versatile sensitivity range in a package that's just under an inch thick. It can also take high-quality movies. While it is not the fastest camera on the market, shutter lag is short enough that you won't miss many shots. (compare prices)
Slimmest digital camera:
Casio Exilim EX-S600 (*est. $240)
The 6-megapixel Casio Exilim EX-S600 is currently the slimmest digital camera (.63-inch thick). While image quality lags slightly behind the Canon ELPH cameras, it outclasses many competitors. The Casio camera doesn't have an optical viewfinder, so all your shots need to be framed using the 2.2-inch LCD. The EX-S600 is strictly point-and-shoot, with no manual features, but its many exposure modes can help you take great photos under a variety of conditions. Although Canon's images are slightly better, the Casio is an ultra-thin, sleek digital camera that doesn't sacrifice overall image quality. (compare prices)
Best underwater digital camera:
Olympus Stylus 720 SW (*est. $280)
Although the Olympus Stylus 720 SW gets merely average scores for image quality, it is one of the few truly waterproof (down to 10 feet) digital cameras on the market. The Olympus is also shock-proof up to five feet -- an aspect that was successfully tested in several reviews. If you want a fun camera for snorkeling or for the pool, reviews say the 7.1-megapixel Olympus fits the bill, but other cameras take better photos overall.

What is the catch with those GoPro cameras?
Christiam
I don't really now much about video cameras, but a couple of days ago i was looking some handy cam, video cameras on the web and the prices went along the 400$ an 3000$ Sony, Canon, Samsung etc... now i found this GoPro cameras for 300$ and the video quality is insane their versatility and all.. so please someone tell me whats the catch there... sorry if my English isn't perfect..thanks
Answer
there really isnt a catch , unless you bought a couple 3 months ago , and then the hero2 comes out .. here is the deal though , they are small , they are robust , waterproof .. but the catch is really what you want to use them for , ultimately I grabbed a couple of extra back pacs for batteries , but this is purely for my own needs and specific use .. they have no viewfinder , so you have to guess where to point it , but they are superwide angle .. I would say there really aren't many cons , I have a few of them , and I really think they are awesome , my only regret is not getting a hero2
