waterproof camera

[fishman2]

Any recommendations for snorkeling and in tank pictures?

There are several waterproof cameras available (that don't require a 2nd mortgage to purchase).

The ones that immediately come to mind are the Olympus Stylus Tough 6000 ($299.95) and 8000 ($379.95). There is also the Canon Powershot D10 ($369.95)

If you have an SLR camera, there are waterproof housings available for significantly more money than just purchasing one of the point-and-shoots listed above.

Thanks, I'm looking at those

I have heard from 2 people with problems with the 6000 malfunctioning

My brother has the Cannon one, and he likes it very much. He use to work for Cannon

HI Udo,

If you have an SLR digital - Vistek is selling an underwater housing for about $125 currently, maybe of interest to you.

Thanks

John

PS how come you weren't at the X-mas party ?

Hello John,

good idea!

thanks,

could not make it due to clutch melt down in the morning

Well I don't recommend the Olympus 6000, almost impossible to get close ups that are in focus under water. I will be returning it and trading it in for a D-10

I am getting the D10 this week.

I picked it up last night.
All I can say is , what a difference! I will be posting some shots over the next weekend

Highly recommended camera!
