waterproof digital camera for snorkeling image
AbeLincoln
We are going on a Caribean cruise. We want to take underwater pictures of our snorkeling adventures. We have the choice of buying lots of disposable underwater cameras or buy one decent real digital camera. Is the image quality of a real digital camera worth the $250 vs buying several $12 disposable cameras? Basically how good are underwater disposable cameras?
Answer
I would rather trust my memories to a good quality camera in the $300 price range than to some "Made In China" disposable camera that might work - or not - and cost you those special memories.
IMO you should consider investing in the Olympus Stylus 770 SW camera. Shockproof to a 5 foot drop, waterproof to 33 feet. This is a camera you can use for years to come and never have to worry about it.
A quick perusal of Yahoo! Shopping found it at Abes of Maine for $299.99, at Monitor Outlet, Inc. for $323.99, at Amazon.com Marketplace for $316.77.
Olympus offers several models of their SW line so you might want to do a comparison of the features and benefits of them before making a decision.

What is the best underwater digital camera to buy that doesn't need an underwater housing?

I was in Mexico last week and while snorkeling I saw guy with a tiny digital camera (without housing). It was very small and skinny (like the Sony T10). Does any know which camera this could be? I loved it because it doesn't require a separate housing! Thanks!
Answer
it's likely it's a recent Olympus model: the Stylus 770 SW, announced in January '07 (for availability "in March").
This is a 7.1mp camera, with a ho-hum 3x zoom starting at 38mm, and 0.8in thick. Nothing special except that:
- it is waterproof to 10 meters (30ft)
- it is shockproof for falls from up to 1.5 metres (5ft)
- it is crush proof for loads of up to 100 kilos (220 pounds)
hope this helps
