best waterproof video camera reviews image

Gabrielle

I need a camera that isn't too hefty, takes good quality pictures and videos, and is waterproof. I am doing a lot of traveling soon and would like to be able to make a short film about it afterwards.

Answer
You are asking too much of a single camera and we do not know your budget

You can buy an underwater camera (10m) with a built-in GPS for under $350

But for shooting video, you really need a video camera

What Are Some Recommendations For The Best Portable Video Cameras?

mrfrudd200

I would like to get some recommendations of the best portable and less expensive video/audio recorders for mainly making online type videos and tutorials. The camera could use SD cards for data storage, USB jump drives, etc. Also the audio quality is very important, so the ability to use an external microphone that can be plugged into the camera's audio port would be a plus.

There are so many products on the market now, it is a bit overwhelming. Thanks for any help and links.

Answer
Get the Kodak PlaySport Zx3, it's a Consumer Reports recommended choice. Good quality pic, easy on the checking account, cute to look at, different colors available, perfect for YT videos.

Highs
Good HD pocket camcorder with very good video pic quality, waterproof to 1 meter, display quality and user-friendly; good pic in low light, pic stable, versatile and works like a digicam too (5 Mpixel). Won't vaporize your checking account. Different colors.

Lows
Average audio and battery life.

If you have around 500$ to spend, the Sony HDR-CX110 is a good mid-end that does a good job, is a Consumer Reports' "BEST BUY".
