Any one know anything about waterproof cameras?




Searra


I want to buy a waterproof camera for a project I am doing. I honestly don't know much about them or where to get one. I really don't want to spend a lot but I want a great camera for amazing photos and I am willing to change my price range which the highest at the moment being $600. it would be great if you could tell me about them, where to get them, what is the best to use, etc. I would really appreciate it.


Answer
There are inexpensive waterproof cameras that cost as little as $125 like the Nikon Coolpix S31.

There is a Nikon Coolpix AW-110 which includes GPS, WiFi and can operate deeper than the S31. 18 m for 60 minutes vs. 5 m for an unspecified time

Sure, you can buy a $300 P&S camera and a $300 underwater housing, but then you will have your underwater camera in two pieces that must be combined when you dive.

Canon, Olympus, Pentax also make such underwater cameras. The cool thing is that they are also shockproof and cold weather proof in some cases.

Spend some time on those websites and see which of those companies make the camera that is best for you

I am trying to find a nice digital camera that is waterproof?

I want to be able to take pictures when i am on my Jet ski etc. My price range is under $300 but i can't seem to find one. They are all too buldgy or just not nice looking. This is for a teenager so please help me if you have any suggestions. Thanks!


Answer
You presently have 5 choices. The Canon Powershot D10, the Fujifilm Finepix Z33WP, the Olympus Stylus Tough 8000, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 and the Pentax Optio W60.

The D10 ($330) and the Tough 8000 $400), have the best depth ratings, 33 feet. The Pentax is good to 13 feet, the other two are only go to 10'.

The Finepix is the cheapest, $200, and tie's with the D10 for cool looking! (The D10, has interchangable face plates)

The Pentax has the widest zoom range, 5x, but only is 10 mpx, vs, 12 for all the others but the Fine pix which is also 10.

The Pentax and Panasonic record video at 720p.(1280 x 720) The othere 3 at 640x480.

If I were you, I'd chose either the Olympus or the Canon, based in the fact they are probably more water and shock proof.


In your case probably the Canon, it's only $30 more than you want to spend.
