What are some good underwater cameras?

Bill Jense

I have a price range of no more than $450.
I don't have a camera, so I can't just buy an underwater housing.
When I say underwater camera, what I really mean is scuba diving camera, waterproof to at least 100 ft.

Answer
Latest waterproof cameras are quite good. On very rare occasions they come faulty, but the same is with regular digital cameras.
If you want camera, that makes good quality pictures on land or underwater, then I would suggest to look into these three cameras: Sony TX5, Panasonic Lumix TS2 and Olympus Rough 8010.
And all three of them cost less than $300 on Amazon.
You just need to decide which features you need more:
Sony TX5 is waterproof to 10 ft, when Panasonic TS2 and Olympus Rough 8010 are both waterproof to 33ft. And Sony TX5 has got the lowest resolution from these three. It's just 10.2 megapixels. Panasonic and Olympus have a resolution of 14MP, which is quite a great difference.
All cameras are shock-, dust-, sand- and freeze-proof. But Olympus 8010 is also a crushproof and designed to withstand a weight up to 220 pounds.
Sony TX5 gives you the opportunity to capture panoramic pictures with it's Sweep Panorama feature. Your images are automatically stitched together, which gives you the extra-wide view of the scenery.
Olympus 8010 has got the panoramic shooting option too. It also comes with a built-in 2GB memory, which is more than most cameras available on the market.
Panasonic TS2 has a good quality video recording. Although all these cameras record video in HD format. But Panasonic TS2 seems to be the most expensive out of them.
But if you do not need waterproof camera right now, Sony are releasing a new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX10 in April 2011. It will have a resolution of impressing 16.2 megapixels. And it is going to be the first waterproof camera that can capture 3D still images. You can pre-order this camera and it costs $330.

What type of video camera is best and easiest to use?

Nalalady

My husband and I are expecting a baby in 8 weeks and are looking into purchasing a video camera. So many options out there right now. We need something more on the simple side. We were thinking about a Sony, but not sure..any suggestions? Hard Disk or DVD style?

Answer
You should buy either a hdd or a mini dv tape recorder. Alot of people say mini dv brings good quality. But so does HDD, hard disk drive. Dvd isn't great because it doesn't record for a long time and that a special moment might be missed because the dvd ran out of space. Furthermore, Hdd is better because you don't want to be dealing with messy tapes and an hour recording for each tape. Hdd has good quality also. I suggest you also buy sony camcorders because they last long and they do have good quality. Also get standard defintion because high defintion isn't great, you can't watch it on normal dvd players and your computer must pack some punch or a good processor to handle hd. So go with standard defintion.
For sony, I would recommend you the dcr-sr300 and i have it for about a week and its great. If you live in New york city, you can go to J and R world, or order online at jrworld because its alot cheaper. about 100 dollars cheaper. Also, its the same thing as circuit city and best buy. To me circuit city and bestbuy in stores suck because their return policy isn't that great, 15% they keep when you decide to return the camcorder. Also, their modals tend to be old and aren't that great. So either order online with bestbuy, etc other companies or find a camcorder near a store near you. Don't go to those store that aren't well knowned, such as those stupid stores on the corner selling electronics.

Addition: go to cnet.com and check the reviews and peoples' opinion before buying a camcorder. Maybe another brand than sony might be better. Camcorders varies but I think Sony is one of the best out there.

Hoped I help you and have a safe pregnancy with your wonderful baby! =)
