Thought it might be fun to have a thread to post your favorite underwater pictures!

I am "water-proof camera" obessed right now:D...looking to buy one for upcoming cruise! Any feedback or suggestions would be great!

I'm also curious for this thread. I think I'm going to have to buy disposables for our cruise.

Went snorkelling for fish and this duck swam over me so had to take the shot. Much better than my fish shots

Hilarious......... I thought the ducks feet were some sort of sea horses attached or feeding off some blob in the water haha.. ;)

I don't have any shots to share (yet) but I have been researching waterproof cameras and will soon be picking up the Fuji Finepix XP10. It just came out last month and replaces the W33 which some other people have mentioned in other threads. Runs $199 - pretty good deal IMHO.

They had one set up in Target and I played around with it - seems to work real well, controls are easy, small so it fits in your pocket, takes 720p video... seems perfect for a snorkeling or beach excursion.

Looks a good underwater camera mine was the mju850 which my son sadly destroyed in the red Sea (he forgot to wash it in fresh water after a dive) so I am looking to replace this year. I tend toward the new Olympus mju Tough 8000 which retails at £250 (approx $380) so the Fuji looks a good deal

I just got my Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 in the mail, I can't wait to use it on (and off) the Glory on May 2nd.

Yes...I would also like to know your camera. The brightness of the Roatan pic is amazing. We are looking at getting an underwater for snorkeling and had decided it would probably be the Olympus, but having other options to look at and hear from actual users would be nice.

You mentioned that you bought this at Target. I was checking my local Target and was told that they do not carry water proof cameras...just wondrerd if you got this recently (in the past month)...And is there any other retailor that might carry it that you know of?

Sea Turtles and Flying Gunnard from Barbados.

 

My camera is an Olympus C-5000 in a PT-019 case purchased on Ebay for less than $100.
