I am photo tech for 30 years.
Currently, I am freelance photo for Yahoo's rivals.com and NCAA Football

Normal for me, I do not like discuss about inexpensive camera or junk camera.
My suggest to research at Digital Camera Reviews and News: Digital Photography Review: Forums, Glossary, FAQ
Good luck for your shopping


How much budget?
What is your purpose to use waterproof camera?
How often go to underwater?
How deep?
Hmmm, maybe, you want to use photo during rain? I did shoot at NCAA football with heavy pour rain.

My experience... I did underwater photo in Hawaii and Cayman Island near Cuba. Most time, I got blue-ish due to weak flash and can't get good rich color of fish due too distance like 6 feet away. I need very powerful flash for underwater.... Mfr Catalog #

That's why.... we guess what you want camera for underwater or heavy rain? First thing, you need to think before speak us that you want to have waterproof camera for purpose?


Let share my photo. I used to shoot NCAA Football and Bowl.


You can tell how much heavy rain. It was heavy pour rain.

This guy did not want to spend expensive rain cover for his photo gears. Look at white plastic cover his camera/lens

No allow flash at NCAA's sideline. Nice to capture. He was going to catch ball. Tackle attacked Ray Rice.

Biggest upset game. Beat rank #2. This is QB Mike Teel is best player to avoid sack. Fewest allow sack in NCAA. Still play game with injury hand.

International Bowl - my good friend #27's mom. She is sweet person.

I love this head coach. He has big heart.
Few other college (U of Miami and Mich) offered him for higher salary. He turned down. He is happy with Rutgers. He built better team from worst record to best record in few season. Also, he focus all good student-athlete. Stay out of trouble maker or poor grade at class.
Usually, we heard rumor that Penn State still interest this coach. He used to work with Joe Paterno for few season.

^^ Darkage, let's not hijack her thread showing off your pictures. All she want is advice on getting which is the best basic waterproof camera. I don't think she needs a fancy camera for professional use.

Best Buy has 6mp Sanyo underwater camcorder. But it costs $499.
 
That's better explained. We know what you need something protection digital camera from wet like rain, boat and water sport.

Now, I know what you need....

If, you already have digital camera.
Why not buy cheap one waterproof bag for all purpose - great for Water Rafting. To make sure 100 percent tight.

If, you are into rough water then use hand or neckcord. Do not careless drop at rough water. Hard time to chase.


You will see waterproof bag.
