Waterproof Digital Camera????

Amber N

Going to buy one, just for playing in the pool with my daughter, nothing crazy like scuba diving or anything like that. I am look at the Olympus Stylus 850. Any advice?

Answer
Hi I bought the Olympus Stylus 850, I think is a good camera for what you want it for, It takes really good pictures, good close-ups also, I ended up returning it and I exchanged it for a Sony Cybershot DSC H-10, just because I wasn't too crazy about the video audio on the Olympus, you can barely hear your voice, and it sounds muffled, my guess is because the mic. has to be covered up, so water won't go inside of it. I'm sure you would enjoy that camera, I would of loved to have kept it, but I am more concerned in the videos, so for a fun camera to take to the beach or to a pool, I think is a good choice.

thinking of buying a waterproof digital camera... suggestions?

I can't speak from personal experience, but I always trust B&H for reviews and purchases. Here's the three best-rated underwater cameras on their site. The Olympus cameras I looked at weren't rated very well.

$289.95 - http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/605229-REG/Canon_3508B001_PowerShot_D10_Digital_Camera.html

$249.95 - http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/602299-REG/Panasonic_DMC_TS1S_Lumix_DMC_TS1_Digital_Camera.html

$129.95 - http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/600944-REG/Fujifilm_15939983_FinePix_Z33WP_Digital_Camera.html

The Panasonic looks to have the best video capabiltiy and has image stabilization, the Canon has image stabilization too and can go the deepest underwater (not that important unless you go scuba diving or something), and the Fujifilm does not have image stabilization, but can go as deep as the Panasonic.

Since you already have a regular camera, you might want to save some money and just get the Fujifilm.
