Tea

I would like to buy waterproof camera and I am in dilemma between PANASONIC LUMIX DMC-TS2 and OLYMPUS STYLUS TOUGH-8010. Please tell me which one do you find better and why.

Or you can suggest me something else. It is important to me that it is waterproof 10m, have wide angle, make quality videos and make great shots underwater...

Thanks!

Answer
These are main features difference :

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS2 : 4.6x Optical zoom, Dustproof = Yes, Crushproof = No, Continuous Drive = 1.8 fps, Storage included = 40 MB Internal.

Olympus Stylus Tough 8010 : 5x Optical zoom, Dustproof = No, Crushproof = Yes, Continuous Drive = 5 fps, Storage included = 2 GB Internal.

For the spec Olympus Stylus Tough 8010 is better, but rating review/popular camera a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS2 is better, The final is depend on you.

Is it a good idea to hold off on getting a new digital camera so I can get a good priced digital diving camera?

All Hail H

It seems silly to get a camera for both diving and personal use, though I've never purchased a diving camera, beyond the 100 feet non-digital throwaways.
If so, any recs for what's now a good priced digital diving camera? I'm hoping to get something less than $300 for the next time I go diving.

Answer
For that price I would recommend 2 options. If you want a 100 ft safe camera, there sealife mini reef is good. It is a unibody ruggedized waterproof camera. And is pretty standard gear around here. Another option is finding an auction for an olympus housing, you can usually find one for under 200. and a camera for under 100. The benefit here is that you can usually find an optical zoom. The mini is only a digital. If you are willing to go a little more (350) the sealife 800 is getting pretty good reviews all around.

good luck
