GOOD UNDERWATER CAMERA?

Sunny

I want to get an underwater camera that can get roughed up a lot, stand being in a car in freezing temperatures all night, be dropped, etc, and be ok. I don't do any extreme sports, but whenever i go diving or kayaking or bouldering when hiking or something my little kodak easy share isn't really ideal. I also really want to be able to take underwater photos. I really like using zoom so a good zoom feature would be nice, but i take a lot of distance photos too and video, so 10+ MP. Price should be around $150-200.

I was looking at the Pentax Optio W90 12.1 Mp waterproof, but I want to know all options before i choose this one. It says shock proof to 4 feet but i have accidentally thrown cameras before. And stepped on them...

Thanks!!!!

Whats a good waterproof camera?

Darlene

It needs to be digital, waterproof as in submerging fully underwater, and has the ability to hold a memory card.
I'm not looking for anything more than that, and I want to be able to buy it off amazon for no more than $100

Answer
How does "up to 140 feet under water", "accepts up to 32GB microSDHC" and "shoots both photos and videos" sound to you?

What is the best digital camera, under $300, for low light and movement shots?

I have owned a Canon and the night and movement shots were incredibly noisy. I have heard the Fujifilm may be a good brand to avoid this. Does anyone have any knowledge of that brand?

Also, waterproof would be great.

thanks!

Answer
If you are really on a budget and want the best quality for the money, check out the P&S Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 [with a Leica lense] which has more features than most pro DSLRs that require auxiliary lenses not even equal to the single initial full-range lense that comes with the FZ28. It is reviewed at:

http://www.steves-digicams.com/2008_reviews/panasonic_fz28.html

It just came out on November 4, 2008.

It's an all-in-one 10.1 megapixel digital camera which includes (i) built-in image stabilization; (ii) HD720 quality video [Quicktime] which permits zooming while videoing skateboarding, action sports; (iii) a 18x zoom [27 - 486 mm (35mm equiv.)] "Leica" lense for nature and concert photography; (iv) up to 0.39 inch macro option; (v) up to 6400 ASA; (vi) takes up to 380 pictures per 120 min. battery charge; (vii) has a "burst speed" of 13 fps; and sells new for $270 at amazon.com. in the U.S.

Good luck!

can you use a coleman xtreme sports waterproof HD wearable helmet video camcorder to record normal videos?

Katie Fort

If I get this, can I use it to record normal videos, like of my friend singing and stuff for youtube?

Answer
The camcorder does not care what the subject is. Start recording and point the camera at the subject.

Video and audio quality may not be ideal. Just because the camera is being used to capture something other than sports stuff is not going to have the camera stop working...
