Friscorays Posted September 9, 2011 #4 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Good link Chipmaster. There you have it: Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 or Sony Cyber-shot TX10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougBear Posted September 11, 2011 #5 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I'm sure they all have pros and cons. I bought the Lumix TS3 and I'm happy with the pics and depth capacity. I just used it a bunch on a cruise last week for 3 dives. The colors seemed to change a bit after the first several pics underwater...not sure if it's a temperature thing or what. And the lens would fog up after a dive once the camera got hot again in the air. But overall, I'm really glad I can take it to 40 ft below.

goldne Posted September 16, 2011 #6 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I use a dicapac for my regular digital camera. Its kind of like a waterproof bag for your camera. Works great! I bought it on amazon, only cost around $20-30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
