LF: Cheap Underwater Digital Camera

[icedtee]

I'm looking for an inexpensive digital camera that I can take snorkeling no more than 20 feet deep.

Thanks

we used an underwater disposable camera... good pictures, but not great...

I have one of these, that I use for my Canon A570. It's great and cheap. It's a little difficult to control all the functions when the camera is in the bag, but all you really need to do is press the shutter button.

There are several versions, so get whatever fits your P&S.

I use a Pentax Optio W10. Takes Decent photo's as a regular camera as well.

There is also some from Olympus but they use xD cards and I like SD cards.

As for 'inexpensive' one's not too sure, it really depends on your budget. I would say $250 for a decent camera that was also waterproof to 10' is a good price. I paid a bit more 3 years ago for mine, but they were a new thing back then.

I'm looking at the Pentax optio w30 or the olympus 720SW.. both in the low $200s. I have one of those waterproof bags but it gets annoying to zoom or change settings.
