Need A Camera That Will Survive The Tough Outdoors

13 years 5 months ago #4749 by littlered
Ok I am also looking for a camera, my cousin lives in Alaska and she has invited us to come and visit her. She has lots of things planned for us to do, and I know that I want to take my camera with me. But I just do not think that my current camera would be a good choice to take. So what I am looking for is something that is waterproof and will last outdoors in the extreme alaskan weather. Thanks for the help.

Are you looking for DSLR or point and shoots. If you are looking for point and shoots there are a number of "freeze proof" waterproof shock resistant options on the market. I purchased a canon D10 because it was among the best in bright light and also the deepest swimmer on the market. There are more options since I read this article but it is pretty thorough and helped me make a decision.

If DSLR is what you want to take then I don't have enough knowledge to help. Cheers.

Any of the "Pro" line cameras will be weather sealed. Now if you are going to be out in Arctic "White Out" sub zero conditions, then send the camera you are going to use to the mfgr & have them "winterize" it for those conditions.
