Best waterproof/shockproof/etc. digital camera?




Judge Judy


I'm looking for a good digital camera to take on vacations and trips when I will be in environments that include rain, sand, snow, etc.; and to take to the beach and stuff like that. I already own a Canon SX 230 HS that I use as my regular everyday camera, which I love, but I don't want to risk bringing it to the beach or anything because of sand and water dangers plus I want to take pictures in/under water.

I've been doing a lot of research lately and so far, I like the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 and the Olympus Tough 8000 (I know there's a newer version of the Olympus out but it can't go half as deep as the 8000, which would be bad for scuba diving trips).

I just wanted to get opinions from some people who have experience with these waterproof etc. cameras and see which ones you all might recommend I check out. Price isn't really a factor either, but I'd prefer one under $300. Thanks! :)

The new Nikon AW100 is Waterproof/shockproof/dustproof, etc.even has GPS, so you can geotag all your shots.

Both Canon and Pentax also make such cameras.

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.
