What's the best underwater camera today?

Hi there,

Sorry, couldn't help it!

On a serious note, "the best" is always subjective. Are you talking about video or still photography ? How deep do you consider to be "under water" ? What's your price range ? What subject are you shooting ? etc. Would be helpful to maybe narrow down your criteria for "the best".

I used underwater cam with film during 8-9 years, but it seems now no one does. Last years i use underwtr my "dry" (digital) Olympus + housing. I'm pretty satisfied with it, but for now - its 5years old model, so no relevant. I know that i'd like it being a bit smaller, lighter and having bigger display. Come on, "the best" not only subjective, but it just cant b constant. U may call it "the best" today - until tomorrow morning new models and new technologies come into market. Changes come faster then u could update. For research - go into underwater photography online and compare results. They always mention which camera and other details.

Hi,

Thank you for your thoughts, I will take note of what you have said. Their is truth that technology comes into the market so fast nowadays and is evolving everyday. In a matter of weeks and months the brand new device you just bought seems obsolete to the newer ones that just came out. Thanks again.

Cheers

Just a follow up with these underwater cameras, does anyone have any experience with them? I had a Panasonic DMC-FT1 (DMC-TS1 in the US) and after working for about a year, took it snorkelling a few weeks ago and it leaked water. Alot of water. Not keen on buying another Panasonic, the reviews on the internet indicate leaking is a common problem so looking at either the Canon Powershot D10 which looks a bit like a toy but having had other Canon cameras can vouch for their quality or an Olympus but haven't had any experience with them... So, anyone own a good "tough" camera?

Fuji's XP 10 and 40 are great cameras, but I still prefer the old standby, the Nikonos V

underwater as in how deep?
a splash or 2m deep one or for the good stuff, it's usually a waterproof housing.
