waterproof digital cameras fuji image
=D
I would like to get a waterproof camera that takes the picture quickly after pressing the button (Don't know what that feature is called)
Most importantly I'd like it to be under £100
Thank you for your help :)
Answer
Unfortunately you're asking too much for the money. Waterproof and little or no shutter lag just isn't feasible for £100.
You can get an Aquapac for £25 which will enable you to submerge your camera. I've never used one but looking at the website will give you some more info: http://store.aquapac.net/explore-product-range/waterproof-camera-cases/small-camera-case-418.html
That just leaves the camera. In the sub-£100 bracket have a look at the Panasonic Lumix FS18, Fujifilm T200 and Nikon Coolpix S3100.
Just don't expect miracles :)
Also keep in mind that for a bit more money (£115-£125) you can get the Fuji XP30 and Olympus Tough TG-310, both of which can be used underwater without any bag or accessory.

What type of camera should I get?

I'm 16 and I need a digital camera, I don't think I want to spend more than $300. I like the touch screen ones but I want a good quality camera as well. I was thinking a 12 mega pixel. Any recommendations?
Answer
First of all, the number of mega pixels is the LAST thing you should be concerned about. If you are looking for cameras in this price range you are most likely going to be getting an advanced point and shoot (P&S) type camera and these models usually use relatively small image sensors. That means that, to get a high MP count they have to use smaller pixels which causes the maker to make compromises in other image qualities. See this link if you want more information ~

The main advantage of high MP counts is they allow you to make larger prints from you photos. Generally 4x6 inch is the standard photo size, so unless you are planning to make many prints of photos larger than standard page size (8.5 x 11 inches) you don't need more than 6-10 MP. Also, remember that the higher the MP count the smaller the number of pictures you can store on a memory card.
What you really need to do is ask yourself "What will I use the camera for?"
- If you want to have something that is easy to carry around look at compact models.
- If you want to be able to take pictures at events and parties you probably want one with good flash and/or high ISO capabilities (where lower MP are usually better). And face or smile detection might be important!
- If you want to do videos you want one with good sound recording capability. Again lower MP often means you can shoot longer clips before you have to stop.
- If you do a lot of sports or vigorous outdoor activities you might look at rugged waterproof models.
Consider these factors and then determine which ones are most important to you then find models that have as many of the features you want and are in your price range.
Good brands to look for with P&S models are, in alphabetical order -
Canon, Fuji, Kodak, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic and Sony
I have been impressed with models from Sony, Canon and Olympus.
Here is a link to a comparison chart for a range of models (note there are multiple pages) they do not provide a way to eliminate models by $$$ so look at the price first and you can remove cameras that exceed your price range.
