I am looking for a WATERPROOF HANDHELD CAMCORDER for a trip that I am going on. I need tips and advice for what to look for when buying the camcorder. It doesn't matter about cost, I just need to know the suitable quality for going on a vacation, where there is great quality of sound, good picture, can be used when snorkelling, good battery life, etc.

If anyone could give me tips, advice, or their knowledge from personal experiences on what to look for and what sort of brands are good or bad when buying them. Also websites of places I could buy one is good too. Any sort of information or websites where I can research more would be greatly appreciated too.

I would like the style of all of these to see but being waterproof.

Amazon/EBay

recommend some good camcorder? that's able to shoot at 300 fps if possible 1200 fps? and how much does it cost?

Hats On!

I've heard of the Casio EX-F1 before it could shoot 1200 fps but it looked like a camera so I'm not sure is it really a camcorder or a camera? I'm looking to buy a good HD camcorder with 300 fps and if possible 1200 fps my budget is 999$ dollars any recommendations?
