best waterproof cameras for the money image
crazzeemon
I am going to the Flordia Key in two weeks. I know all about the camera water casing (they cost alot). I was thinking about buying desposible underwater cameras, but my instructor that the cameras would not take good pictures. I own a Digital SLR camera, but I think it would be risky to bring it underwater, even with a covering. Should I buy a waterproof digital camera (Camera types?)? Any solutions (Not requiring loads of money)?
Also, is there any "rules" to taking pictures underwater? Lastly, is there any procedures to taking good pictures underwater?
Answer
Rubbish. A disposable will be OK if you're only snorkeling, but the photo quality royally sucks (underwater only). I tried using 30(?) meter disposables on 10 dives in Cozumel and NO underwater photos were even a little acceptable.
You reference an instructor, so we can assume that you are diving. Most budget conscious divers go to Leisure Pro for their non-life-supporting accessories, but even there you will see housings aren't cheap. Best bet is to hold off on photography until you can drop the $200 on a good, reliable housing for your digital cam.
Rules- Always be aware of your surroundings. You and your buddies safety is first, getting a shot of the mermaid is a distant second.
It's all about the light. Read up on how to photograph underwater without a strobe (the Net is peppered with articles). If by 'rules' you meant 'laws' regarding photographing underwater, the answer is "if you can see it, you can photograph it" (unless diving Area 51).
Good luck!

Where could I find a hunting camera that streams live footage?

I'm looking for a waterproof, long battery life camera that streams live footage to my computer. Where could I find something like this for less than a fortune?
Answer
Less than a fortune? Don't count on it.
Here's one link that should help you:
http://www.spygeargadgets.com/4g-wireless-battery-powered-utility-box-hidden-camera.html
The device costs $900. To get a 40-hour battery (the unit at $900 comes with an 8-hour battery) you would have to add another $200. Add to that a service contract, which is necessary to utilize the camera. 6 months of service costs about $500.
All told, that would cost you $1,594 for the camera, battery, and your first six months of service.
Now, imagine if your camera is discovered by an unsavory character. They steal it. You're out all that money. Not worth it, in my opinion.
EDIT: For that price, you could buy a dozen good-quality normal game cameras, memory cards for them, and plenty of batteries. Just to put it in perspective, and all.
