What's a good water proof camera?

13 years 6 months ago #128 by Perry
I just posted a post in Sony section about the wife and I heading to Hawaii next month. I case there are no safe ways of water proofing my Cybershot camera, I would like to see what water proof cameras are good? We will be doing a bit of snorkeling and scuba diving during our 2 week vacation there.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Never been to Hawaii! The only underwater camera I know of is the Olypus Stylus Tough. It's suppose to be water proof and shock proof. I want to say it's water proof up to 33ft.

Post some photos up after your trip.

I've heard those are super slow in normal shooting conditions. My friend has one and the battery dies so quickly.

Thanks, I had a few others mention that camera also. I'm not sure yet, might even just get a disposable one for the trip
