best underwater camera brand image
Randi
Im going to be spending a month in Panama in a few months, and I want to get a good camera for the trip. I am willing to spend up to $150. I want to be able to get good vivid shots of plants and animals, scenic shots, people, and possibly underwater (but thats not a deal breaker). I dont know a whole lot about cameras, what brands to choose and whatnot.
Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks!!

I would get a bunch of $5.00 disposable water resistant cameras with a flash. They are tough. Don't need recharging and the film can be developed in many South America locations. Although the lens is fixed, as long as the scene is more than four feet away it will take great pictures and are tough as hell.
And nobody well swipe them from your luggage in Panama. Plus you won't have all your photographic assets in one basket. As an added bit of fun you can hand them out to friends in your group and inlist them to help you take pictures.

Scuba could exceed the abilities of many compact underwater cameras. You can get better pictures and better water resistance with a better camera and an underwater housing. You may want to hold off and see what new models come out. The Canon G12 is pretty good, but its getting due for an updated model. Ikelite housings are usually more expensive and optimized for diving. Canon brand housings usually have positive buoyancy (which boaters like), and need an extra weight set for diving. Use silica gel packs to prevent condensation when the water gets colder at depth. Check for availability of an underwater housing when shopping for a camera. Often there is none for superzoom cameras--it creates more design problems.
