What are good waterproof digital compact cameras?




James


I'm looking to spend about £150-200 on a new camera and I'd like one that's waterproof (for hiking/trekking), freezeproof (for snowboarding) and fairly good low light performance.

I know I'm asking a lot and I'm prepared to compromise a little, but not that much. Any help much appreciated.



Answer
Nikon AW100 has just been announced, seems like a wonderful camera, but it's pretty expensive.
Take a look at Olympus 6020, Panasonic TS3 or Kodak C123.

Thinking of buying a digital camera...need some suggestions...?

I'm thinking if buying a digital camera...anyone have any good suggestions?

Here are the requirements or preferences:

color: red, light green, light blue, black
price: $200--$450
features: take pictures, screen, flash, video, etc...



Answer
In that price range, you've got a lot of good choices, so it depends on your priorities:
The Pentax Optio W30 is an OK camera, but it's waterproof and dustproof and has a cool time lapse mode. If you want to take your camera with you on exotic vacations, this might be a good idea.
The Fujifilm Finepix F30 has really good low light performance because it has a larger (1/1.7") sensor than most compact digital cameras. It also has good battery life.
The Canon Powershot TX1 has a 10X optical zoom, and will shoot motion video at 1280x720 resolution! Most compact digital cameras just shoot motion video at 640x480.
The Olympus SP-550UZ has an 18X optical zoom, will go up to ISO 5000 (at reduced resolution) for extreme low light photography, and has a bulb mode that will take a picture up to eight minutes long! You could start doing astrophotography with one other these!

If you'd like a more specific answer, decide what your priorities are (what types of pictures or vidoes you'll be taking) and we'll narrow it down your you.
