I'm looking for a waterproof point & shoot camera to use primarily when we're out surfing, but also as a pocket camera. I'm looking at the Sony TX5, the Olympus MJU 6010 and the Canon D10, but wondered if anyone had any other suggestions or experience of these types of cameras. my budget is up to £250.
Answer
Among those choices, for a camera that you expect to get wet but will not take very deep the Sony TX5 may be a good choice.
Here is a review

It's advantage is the 10 MP CMOS sensor that will give you less noise or artifact as you turn up the ISO to capture action. It will also give you better video.
I have one concern about this camera. As seen at
http://www.sony.co.uk/product/dsc-t-series/dsc-tx5/tab/technicalspecs
I see an absence of a sport or action mode. Years ago I had a Sony W70 that I used with a light duty underwater housing for kayaking. In Program mode it had an annoying habit of selecting small aperture, slow speed. It had no sport mode per se. A background blur mode favored wide aperture, but was limited to ISO 100.
So I don't know if Sony has ever fixed that problem.

I need a waterproof camera that I can attach to my kayak that has a remote option where I can turn the camera on/off and take a picture. Needs to be at least 4mp would prefer at least 5 and be no more than 200.00.
is there one thats any good that even exists?
Right now Ive been trying to find a used go pro with a remote but when you add in the 80.00 remote it always goes over 200.
Answer
The best I could find is Pentax Optio WG-1 ($199) and Pentax 39892 remote ($24). This camera is better than those GoPo even it cost you $24 more. Couldn't find anything cheaper. But Pentax site says this remote works with their compact cameras made after 2010. So u might need to do little bit digging and find a older model which works with this remote.
