camera for water sports image
Q. I like water sports. I don't have a underwater camera.
Answer
I own a Canon A720 IS that I have an Ike Lite underwater housing for.
Here's the camera: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=183&modelid=15657
and here's it's housing: http://www.ikelite.com/web_two/can_a710.html
I use the camera for both above and below surface. The housing is rated to 200 feet depth, which is probably a little deeper than you plan on using one. :)
There are underwater digital cameras at Walmart that are rated to something like 45 feet and cost about 60 bucks, if you're interested. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=9604830#Item+Description

Is a go pro hero 3 worth it for mostly water sports?
sydney
I have been dying to get a go pro 3 (silver or black) but before I buy it I want to make sure it's worth putting my money in to. I would be using it mostly for water sports and under water such as snorkeling. How is it for shooting underwater and is there anything I should know before shooting underwater? Thanks.
Trying to decide between go pro hero 3 and nikon aw110
Answer
Are you planning on mounting it (to you or anything else), or just holding it? If mounting is in the plans, it's a great option. If not, it's still a good option since the 3's have a flat lens for sharp underwater focus, etc. There are tons of 3rd parties making diving accessories for it - look at BackSkatter for some sweet filter options, etc. The link the other guy showed had many SeaLife camera options, and I've read they don't produce very good image quality. Also, not sure if any of the ones on that link are mountable, besides maybe a 1/4-20 thread.
I used my 3 for the week I was just in Hawaii. Snorkeling, kayaking, hiking, driving around, timelapses, etc - it was great. Probably had it in a mount 3/4 of the time - an extending pole mount was awesome for much of what I was doing.
