best waterproof cameras under 200 image
Narwhalsar
It needs to be able to be something that won't break super easy. And one that can record video. Also if it is waterproof that would be good. It needs to be under $200 Any suggestions would be great, Thanks!
Answer
You will not find any good ones for $200.
As said previously, Nikon AW100 or Olympus Tough-820.
I have the Olympus Tough-8010 which is a predecessor to the 820 (the Nikon was not available when I bought mine), and it has worked pretty good.
There are some models under $200 such as the Olympus Tough-3000. However, they are not nearly built as well, and cannot go as deep waterproof wise.
Realize also that the waterproof rating is for calm - static water. If you dump your camera into a raging river, there will be more force against the camera, and a camera like the Tough-3000 which is rated only to 3 meters in depth may not be enough.
The 8010 had additional o-ring seals, which is why I went with that one. Also it has an all-metal case, and I think part of it might be magnesium, but I am not 100% sure. At any rate it is heavy (at least for a compact camera), and well built.
Also, Olympus has more than one camera with the same model number, so make sure it is the "Stylus Tough" series, as those are the waterproof and ruggedized ones.

What's a good, new brand, and water proof video camera under $200?

I've got $200 and I'm trying to find a good camera for tornado chasing. So, I have a few questions:
#1. What's the BEST brand?
#2. What's the video camera called?
#3. How well does it do when wet (I really need a waterproof or water resistant)
#4. How much does it cost? (Has to be under $200)
#5. Where can I get it?
#6. Does it need an SD or SDHC card?
Answer
Kodak PlaySport is the camera you are looking for, it's priced $140 on Amazon (see the link below) and can record in Full HD 1080p! And of course, waterproof for your needs. It needs SDHC memory card. Buy it together as amazon suggests with additional battery and 16 GB card and you are still under $200. And reviews of the users are awesome...
I am stormchaser as well, but here in Europe, I have purchased this camera yesterday from amazon UK, can't wait to arrive :)
