Need reviews for coleman waterproof digital cameras?




confusedon


They sell a pretty cheap underwater camera for around 80 bucks. Ive never even known that coleman makes cameras in general, so im curious if anyone knows how they are. Its a 12 megapixel camera with only 640x480 video. 33 ft waterproof and 3.2ft shockproof. Looking for reviews or if anyone knows about coleman cameras in general.
One of my main worries is also shutter lag time.



Answer
They are on the do not buy list for amazon, a lot of returns for leaking camaras.

digital cameras?




sameh h


which are better sony cybershot or panasonic lumix? If there are better digital cameras please list...price no problem...quality main concern


Answer
As far as cameras are concerned, again, it depends on what you want.


The highest quality Digital cameras are the Digital SLRs, and Pentax makes the best with the K10
( http://www.pentaxslr.com/bodies/k10 ) around $899
-These allow you to swap in and out all Pentax lenses, for professional level photography.



However, you may be looking for something smaller (of the point and shoot variety if you dont want to be swapping lenses or buying separate lenses).


If you want a good quality point and shoot, Cannon offers the PowerShot S5 IS which has one of the best zooms out there (12X Optical & 4x digital for a 48x Zoom) at around $379.99

If you want a good waterproof camera, there is the Pentax Optio W30 7.1-Megapixel Digital Camera at around $299.99

If durability is a concern, there is the compact Olympus - Stylus 7.1MP Digital Camera 790 SW which is shockproof up to 5 feet and crushproof up to 220 pounds, and freeze and water resistent to a certain degree for around $299.99

So, it really all comes down to what you are looking for. I would suggest going to a BestBuy and/or Circuitcity and checking out some of these cameras before you make a decision on buying.

Best in quality are the Pentax Digital SLRs, 2nd is probably the Cannon Digital SLRs. For point and shoot, if you want quality I'd go with the Canon PowerShot S5 IS.
My sister uses the PowerShot S3 IS (a couple models ago) as a biologist photographing different animals down in the rainforest, and the zoom and quality are unbeatable for a point and shoot in this price range.

If choosing between the sony cybershot or panasonic lumix, I would pick the panasonic since it has the much better total zoom.

Panasonic Lumix FZ50 ($650)
Optical: 12x
Digital: 2x / 4x pre-select (Max. 48x combined with Optical Zoom without Extra Optical Zoom)

DSC-H9 Cyber-shot® Digital Camera ($429.99)
Optical Zoom 15X
Digital Zoom 0-2.0X (Precision) -which equals 30x combined zoom)

Here are reviews on both the and the PowerShot S5 IS that I mentioned earlier and the Panasonic Lumix FZ50, so that you can get a little bit of a comparison:
