GoPro is good for outside during the day. room lighting and evening shots are kinda shitty with the GoPro
I have the Fuji XP30 and Panasonic TS25! They both work great for me. Like the pics they produce! Only problem I've had was condensation on lens do to having it in the warm sun and then putting it in the cool water! I keep it covered now!! :wink3::wink3:
Forget the shoe box camera, I mean GoPro.. Just because they spend all the money marketing doesn't make it the best. For helmet-cam type video, the Contour camera is sweet. The Contour Roam is waterproof to 30 ft without a case. I think its $199.. For stills though, we have one of the shock proof, water proof, apocalypse proof Olympus cameras. Its great for those underwater bikini shots, as I have many..
That is the one we just got. Our first nikon took a crap, so we got this new one, it's amazing. And it has GPS on it to show where u took each pic
Athough I have a lot of Nikon gear, I'm partial to Sony these days - have a look at the Sony Cyber-shot TX30 18.2MP Waterproof Digital Camera Waterproof to 33ft and shock resistant from drops up to 5 ft
Go pros really aren't good under water. Unless you replace the lens on the water proof case the pics are distorted. Definitely get a digital as the disposables are crap.
We too are looking at which waterproof camera to purchase, I normally go Nikon but don't think I will be doing on this occasion. I have narrowed it down to two both Olympus the TG-850 and the TG-3
