top waterproof cameras under 200 image
Mr. Shar P
Hi guys,
I'm heading to Patagonia next month or a trip. Going to the south of it and there will be a lot of hiking. The last time I did any hiking I was in the Marines ten years ago.
I want to take really good gear. What do you guys recommend to take?
What type of backpack?
What type of clothes/Jacket/Pants?
What type of shoes?
What other things that are handy when hiking in this type of places?
I have very little experience hiking so I don't know what things are a MUST to have. If you guys can give me some advice I will greatly appreciate.
I have about $1,000 budget to spend on gear. Thanks.

If you're doing a lot of hiking, especially if you have a backpack, you need some well-fitting, quality hiking boots that offer cushioning and support. Go to an outdoor store in your area and have a worker who knows what their doing help you find well-fitting hiking boots. You can probably get away with a good pair for under $150 but between $150-$200 would give you a good pair of boots. Waterproof boots are definitely worth it and Keen makes some affordable boots. Before you spend hours hiking in them, break them in so you don't get blisters or painful feet.
I assume you're accomodation is indoor otherwise you'll need some warm gear-sleeping bags, jackets, boots, socks, hats that would bring you over $1000. If this is the case see what you can borrow from people you know.
A daypack is always nice to have while hiking so you have a place to put extra layers, snacks, camera etc. If you can get one with a water pack in it, that's a bonus but not necessary at all.
Get a good, waterproof and windproof jacket and one or too fleeces. Also, hiking pants are good, especially the ones that can turn into shorts. For rainy days, waterprrof rain pants are nice to put over top of your hiking pants to keep you dry.
Hiking socks are good to have, I would get a few pairs, preferably wool or part wool.
if its wet, (I've never been to Patagonia, really try to wear no cotton, so buy some sports shirts. You can get more affordable shirts at sport check than at an outdoor store, you really don't need fancy shirts made by companies like North Face, Nike does just fine.
Bring sunglasses and a hat as well as bug spray and sun screen. A pair of gloves or mits are nice if it ever gets cool and wet.

Best picture quality waterproof camera under £200?

I want to get a camera as I'm currently borrowing my Dads when I need it. I'm doing Geology in college and later on, in Uni so need a camera which doesnt mind being dropped into puddles or rock pools and can withstand being dropped a bit. I've come across a few cameras, but I'm having trouble getting reliable reviews of them which definitively tell me the quality of the prints created. I guess that photo quality isnt the top priority (I'd rather have it waterproof and of slightly less photo quality) but I want it to be as good as it can be in the budget.
