Underwater Camera
Anyone got a good tip for an underwater camera?Doesn't need to go down to more than 10 metres (it is for a friend who wants to go snorkelling).
He had one of those disposal ones but says that the pictures were rubbish...so I'm going to buy him a new one.
Not TOO expensive though ;-)
Thanks Luc

Hey Luc,There's a great online resource that should answer most of your questions:

Well for my money lucapal there is only one camera to buy these days. http://gopro.com/activity-shopNothing compares to it for an all round travel and activity tool.
Check this video, shot entirely using a Gopro. http://gopro.com/
You could buy him the cheaper model or just a case (fits all) and let him buy the camera. I never believe in buying cheap junk. This camera is now being used by all kinds of professionals for shooting activities.

What other camera has a surfboard mount available? If you watch news programs carefully you will even see US troops wearing these on their helmets in Afghanistan, etc.7
I bought a Nikon coolpix AW100 that is waterproof to 10m. I used it in the rainforest in Nicaragua, and on a kayak trip in the rain. It works great.8
What do you define as not 'Too' expensive?http://www.squidoo.com/the-best-cheap-waterproof-camera

Looks good micky. I found one online for $200 so that seems reasonable. I just can't get past the versatility of the GoPro Hero cameras though.Kind of like settling for less if you know what I mean. I hate it when the budget makes you look at doing that. Almost invariably, I say to hell with the budget. LOL
