Waterproof Camera

[Lady_Bayou]

Looking for advice on a good waterproof camera no more than $250. I'm clueless as to what to look for.

I have the Olympus tough.

I have a pentax w80 and a Nikon Coolpix AW130, both work well.

 

I have used both at over 60' underwater without problems.

The Olympus Tough is good

I was looking for a waterproof camera about a year ago. But since I don't need a "camera" for non-water, I looked into a camera mask after reading about it here. It is $120 from Liquid Image. I did get it and it works great. Have taken it on snorkeling trips in Grand Cayman, Grand Turk, Bonaire, and Aruba.

I have 2 of the Olympus Tough cameras and LOVE them...not only the underwater settings and clarity but the additional settings they have on them (like the tilt shift feature). I have the models 620 and 830...830 is of course an upgraded version (and there's many more models to chose from now) and what I do like about it is that you can be filming and hit the button and still take still pictures as well. I think the pictures come out pretty awesome (and all my reviews are done with them over the last few years) and they don't give you that ugly green water look that some camera do (like the picture posted above). :)
