Post your waterproof camera pictures =) - The DIS Discussion Forums

Hey there!

After my last cruise I have decided that I definitely need to invest in a digital waterproof camera. What I am hoping is that those of you who have one could post some of the pictures you have taken with it, both underwater and normal shots. Also if you could name the camera and model and maybe a little review about it, what you like/dislike. It would be much appreciated!

I'm not sure how to post photos yet, but we bought a Fujifilm FinePix Z33WP and love it. It takes wonderful photos and videos in/out of the water. It's a great size, too.

Here is a link to a pretty long thread already on underwater digital cameras with pics.

Thanks, I had seen that before, it is mostly pictures from the Canon D10 though and then a couple from the Olympus 850. I was hoping to see a variety of pictures from the other underwater models out there.

No problem and you may want to also post on the Photography Board.

These were taken with the Vivitar Vivicam 6200. I believe there's a new version out now that replaced it. We like this little guy a lot for the price. It does videos & has a pretty fast recycle time inbetween shots. Nice neck / wrist strap. The LCD display is hard to see in bright light but they pretty much all are.

These are with the Olympus 1050...great price on it at COSTCO.

Takes even better pics above ground, with easy to use options for changing shooting modes.
Like all the underwater cameras with an LCD display, it isn't easy to see underwater, in the sun, but better than the other cameras I've had.

Yes! All of those were taken during our Wonder back-to-backs in summer '08.

This thing is housed in a rubberized casing and has a really long adjustable neck / wrist strap which worked out really well for all of these activities. We didn't have to worry about it getting banged around or slipping off. Took it on the jet skis too.

Thanks for sharing all the pictures/reviews so far. It is really helpful when trying to decide between all of the options.
