I have a price range of no more than $450.
I don't have a camera, so I can't just buy an underwater housing.
When I say underwater camera, what I really mean is scuba diving camera, waterproof to at least 100 ft.



Answer
Latest waterproof cameras are quite good. On very rare occasions they come faulty, but the same is with regular digital cameras.
If you want camera, that makes good quality pictures on land or underwater, then I would suggest to look into these three cameras: Sony TX5, Panasonic Lumix TS2 and Olympus Rough 8010.
And all three of them cost less than $300 on Amazon.
You just need to decide which features you need more:
Sony TX5 is waterproof to 10 ft, when Panasonic TS2 and Olympus Rough 8010 are both waterproof to 33ft. And Sony TX5 has got the lowest resolution from these three. It's just 10.2 megapixels. Panasonic and Olympus have a resolution of 14MP, which is quite a great difference.
All cameras are shock-, dust-, sand- and freeze-proof. But Olympus 8010 is also a crushproof and designed to withstand a weight up to 220 pounds.
Sony TX5 gives you the opportunity to capture panoramic pictures with it's Sweep Panorama feature. Your images are automatically stitched together, which gives you the extra-wide view of the scenery.
Olympus 8010 has got the panoramic shooting option too. It also comes with a built-in 2GB memory, which is more than most cameras available on the market.
Panasonic TS2 has a good quality video recording. Although all these cameras record video in HD format. But Panasonic TS2 seems to be the most expensive out of them.
But if you do not need waterproof camera right now, Sony are releasing a new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX10 in April 2011. It will have a resolution of impressing 16.2 megapixels. And it is going to be the first waterproof camera that can capture 3D still images. You can pre-order this camera and it costs $330.

I am looking for a digital camera for travel.?

I am going to be doing a lot of traveling this year and I want a good digital camera that has a good zoom and is great for taking pictures. Everything from landscapes in Ireland and Scotland, to architect in Germany, to beautiful pictures in the Caribbean. I am just starting out so I don't want anything crazy expensive. I was hoping to stay around $300-$350. I had been looking at the Canon PowerShot SX30. Any ideas or suggestions would be great.


Answer
the fog in ireland and scotland. the spring rain in germany, the sand and salt air of the caribbean, plus the banging around of all that travel.
four simple words - waterproof, shockproof, dust proof and freeze proof.
drop the camera once or get moisture in it and picture taking is done (i know from experience)
not trying to scare you, ok i am. just don't want to see you take a great trip and have nothing to show for it.
Canon D10 or the Panasonic Lumix TS3, they take nice pictures and you don't have to look out the window to see what the weather is like or wrap your camera in 6 layers of towels to keep the sand out.
the D10 has 640x320 video and 3x zoom, @ $250
the TS3 has 1080 HD video. 6x zoom and 3D picture capability but its pricey. @ $400
i have a TS2 and i love it. 720 HD video, 6x zoom. great pictures @ $260
this is just my personal opinion but if i was taking this trip i would spend the few extra bucks and get the Panasonic Lumix TS3. the rest of the waterproof cameras use digital image stabilization (higher iso) and creates noise (snowstorm). pretty sure Canon and Panasonic are the only 2 that have optical image stabilization to reduce noise.
