I dive to about 110 feet. I want audio, video and still capability. What suggestions would you have?


Answer
All the GoPros, from the first to the H3 Black, all have EXACTLY the same 60m waterproof rating.

The H2 versions used the exact same camera for all versions, the 3 versions were packaged with different mounting options (Outdoor, surf, Motorsport)

The standard case for the H2 caused a bit of vignetting underwater, not a problem for occasional use, but if this was your primary interest you would likely want the $40 underwater housing (No change in waterproof performance, it has a different "lens" to remove the vignetting...this is the only difference in this housing).

All the versions of the H3 have an improved case design that corrects the underwater vignetting, a seperate underwater case is not needed. The white approximates the camera performance of the original Hero, the Silver is similar to the H2, and the Black is their top of the line, best -to-date camera capable of getting 35 gigs/hr in 4K video (DSLRs typically get 20gigs/hr in HD).

All of the versions of the H3 include wifi, a $70 option on the H2. The Black includes a wifi remote control.

So, best down for the specific use of underwater photography:
Black H3
Silver H3
H2 with or without underwater case
White H3
Hero with or without the underwater case.

In Underwater Videography are all standard camcorders compatible with an underwater enclosure?

Answer
Its a little hard to say Most of the better cameras do. There is always a but. BUT, your best option is to find a camera or two and see if you can get a housing for it, another but, how deep do you want to go!

a few feet is not a problem but if you are talking about scuba diving, then the deeper you want to go the mre expensive they housings become. my last one was just under $10,000 rated at 100m ( I do it for my living if needed) but for a normal say 60m you can pay as much as a good camera for it.

again if its only for a few feet say less than 10ft there are cheap ones that basically are like zip lock bags with a lens on one end.

Good luck
