What are some good waterproof digital cameras?

by I am Mike’s photos

I’ve always thought it was a really cool thought, and lately I’ve been looking into getting one. I’ve looked at some from Canon and Olympus. I’m leaning towards Canon’s D10 because it gets excellent reviews, is slightly cheaper than Olympus models, and because I really like Canon cameras.
Anyone that owns this camera or another waterproof camera-
Is it excellent price considering that it would only get moderate use?
Do you recommend this camera, or another one?
Would I be better off getting a waterproof case for my current camera (a Canon powershot a570)?

Thanks so much!

Here are 5 top rated waterproof cameras:

1. Canon PowerShot D10

$ 330, 12.1MP; 3X optical zoom; waterproof to 33 feet
Canon's first foray into waterproof digital compacts looks like a cross between a Digital ELPH and a diving bell. With a waterproof rating down to 33 feet, it's among the deepest divers in this category, but its 2.5-inch LCD and optically stabilized 35–105mm (equivalent) f/2.8–4.9 zoom lens aren't at the front of this pack. Like the other cameras here, the D10 is freeze- and shockproof, in this case surviving temperatures down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit and falls of up to 4 feet.

2. Fujifilm Finepix Z33WP

$ 200, 10MP; 3X optical zoom; waterproof to 10 feet
Borrowing design cues from Fuji's teen-targeted Z30, this underwater handgun is one of the tiniest and most stylish, as well as the most affordable. Its 2.7-inch LCD is as large as they come on this type of compact. But it's waterproof only to 10 feet, and its 10MP and 35–105mm (equivalent) f/3.7–4.2 optical zoom aren't groundbreaking.

3. Olympus Stylus Tough 8000

$ 400, 12MP; 3.6X optical zoom; waterproof to 33 feet
Olympus offers some of the most rugged compact cameras you can get, and its latest fits the mold. You can shoot down to 33 feet underwater, drop the camera from up to 6.6 feet, and use it in temperatures down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Plus, its metal construction can withstand up to 220 pounds of pressure. Sensorshift image stabilization combats hand shake, and the zoom, while not league-leading, spans an equivalent 28–102mm f/3.5–5.1.

4. Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1

$ 400, 12.1MP; 4.6X optical zoom; waterproof to 10 feet
Panasonic has stepped up to the pool in a strong way with its first waterproof digital camera. Its optically stabilized 28–128mm (equivalent) f/3.3–5.9 zoom offers a nice balance of wide angle for underwater and midrange tele for land-based adventures. At 12.1MP, it affords plenty of resolution, and it has an ample 2.7-inch LCD. While we wish it could go deeper than 10 feet, its 720p video recording should make playing in the backyard pool more fun than ever.

5. Pentax Optio W60

$ 250, 10MP; 5X optical zoom; waterproof to 13 feet
Pentax was one of the first to offer dunkable digital cameras with its WP series being ago, and now it's a major force. This model has plenty of room to the left of the lens to hold onto, and we like the 720p video recording, though we'd rather have a quicker rate than its 15 frames per second. Its Super Macro mode should be a boon below the surface, letting you focus as close as 0.4 inches from the front of the 28–140mm (equivalent) f/3.5–5.5 lens.

Olympus 1050SW. Fantastic quality in a tiny compact.
I like my camera soo much.
It’s 10.1 megapixels and waterproof up to ten feet and shockproof up to 5 feet. There is built-in camera stabilization and no interchangable lenses. (sorry!)

About a year ago when it first came out, I got it for about $ 150. I don’t know if the price has risen, but it’s really worth your money.

This camera has some flaws, including slow auto-focus, but in all honesty, it’s wonderful. I took it on my trip to Hawaii and brought it on Waikiki beach with me. Sand was not a conundrum at all and the brine didn’t effect it. It’s nearly indestructable too; I’ve dropped it soo many times and it still works like a beauty.

It has a panorama feature and in-camera edits. Low set alight shooting is slightly problematic and makes a lot of noise, but if you take the time to fiddle with the settings, it comes out fine.

It has very excellent video quality also.

I would reccomend this camera to anyone. It has a very nice macro setting and presets for shooting certain subjects and for shooting in certain situation.

I hope I’ve helped and you consider getting this camera.

(P.S., it comes in 3 colors and it a rather stylish looking camera. )
