waterproof camera for new dfw HOW photographer

Post by basscowboy1986 »

OK guys, Jim dolan gave me the great honor of being the new photographer for the dfw chapter of Heroes On the Water. I'm searching for a waterproof compact still frame camera, any ideas? What are some good ones? Anybody seen one for sale? Any and all info would be appreciated.

I like my Sony DSC-TX5 (the DSC-TX20 I think is the latest version). The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS4 is also a very good waterproof camera.

If you want to spend a little more you can get a Canon G12 with a waterproof housing. It'll allow you to have more options like a SLR.

I picked up a waterproof, shockproof and dustproof Fuji at Target for about $189.00 and it is easy and takes great pictures.

I have the Canon Powershot D-10. Great camera. One of the fastest to power up when you need to get the shot quick. Amazon has it for like $249.
