I got a Nikon AW130 on a good sale last Thanksgiving. I'm very happy with the snorkeling and beach pictures I got this month. It's a good option for the beach.

I also have a Nikon AW130 for underwater and rugged uses. I love it for those purposes.

I researched this a TON around Thanksgiving. All signs led me to the Olympus Tough TG-4. We haven't had a chance to use it underwater other than a pool, but check out Mitsugirly's latest review where she used it on her cruise. She took some amazing pictures and convinced me! We've been happy with ours for regular pictures and underwater in the pool so far, but her pics on her cruise were fantastic!

I bought this olympus gt4 last year for a 12 day cruise after my new Nixon got one small knock and brook. This camera if absolutely great. Still learning about it. Word of caution the floats you buy to ensure if you drop this camera won't hold this camera to float. We custom made a float and added a wrist strap that snapped onto my wrist. Otherwise when snorkeling it would drop to the bottom of the ocean. Underwater pictures came out good figuring I got the camera 2 days before the cruise and it was new to me and I didn't know to set the underwater mode on. Have fun.

I have the canon power shot d30 (had the d10 and loved it until it filled with water) and hubby has the GoPro 4. I have had other canons, Fuji, sealife, etc, but the d30 seems to give lovely pics - both in and out of the water. I will say however, when I load the GoPro videos on to the iPad and grab an image from them, the image quality seems even better. [emoji5] (I picked med quality for the upload)

I like using a go pro with waterproof case!

the new gopro 5 hero is waterproof, no case needed.

I have just bought a 5 Hero, used it a fair bit but haven't taken it underwater yet. It does say that it is OK for 10m.

For those of you with the Olympus, how is the sound when you record video? I read reviews that said its really noisy. I have had a canon d10 for about 7 years and love it, but it's starting to fog up. I just purchased 2 canon d30 from Best Buy and both made a rattling noise when moved around so I returned them.

I'm curious about this too, as I really wanted to get the Olympus tg-870 (I think that's what its called) but have heard about bad rattling/clicking noises when watching video playback :(

bought new go pro hero 5 it is suitable for under water but I also added a waterproof case the case makes battery changes difficult on the go still learning the coordination factor of swimming and shooting needs perfecting

I previously had a Nikon AW100 and really liked the underwater photos. Above water photos were ok for that model. I have no doubt the AW130 would be good for underwater and everyday land photos.

I currently have the Olympus TG-4 which I used on my last trip in March and was very happy with the underwater photos. I took a few short videos and the noise level did not seem to be exteme. The pictures outside of water are very good as well.

My wife has a Canon D30. The underwater photos are very good but she doesn't like the lag between pictures. She thinks it takes too long before she can take another picture. Hasn't used the camera much for regular photos.
