Waterproof digital camera?

mommyof2

I wanted a waterproof digital camera that is a good quality camera. I also would like the option of recording video clips with sound. Any suggestions?

Answer
Look at the Pentax W30 or the Olympus 1030 SW or the Olympus 790 SW cameras. Those are all waterproof to about 3 meters (10 feet). While they all will record video, I don't recall if they also record sound as well, given the waterproofing that has to be in place.

The Pentax website does say that the W30 records sound, but it's unclear if that's in conjunction with the movie mode or not.

EDIT: Ah, I found it buried in the specs. It does record sound. Even has an underwater movie mode.
Quoting Pentax:
"Movie - MOV (QuickTime Motion JPG), 30/15 FPS w/ sound"

OLYMPUS waterproof & shockproof camera: Which model is better?

Answer
At present there are two. Olympus "SW" P&S cameras and a couple of Pentax shock and waterproof P&S cameras.

If you don't need the camera right away, PMA is being held in Las Vegas the first of March .. many new cameras and camera accessories will be introduced at that time. There are rumors that other camera companies will be introducing shock and waterproof P&S cameras.
