Underwater P&S
May 31, 2015 19:32:51 #
It seems most here may be a bit advanced for this question, but does anyone have a recommendations for a budget Point and Shoot for underwater. Housings are too expensive for my D7100 since I only need an underwater camera once every couple of years. I might need one more in the future, then I would invest. I see a lot of waterproof point and shoots but can't separate the good from the bad.

Thanks, but I did not have one. I was looking for recommendations for someone wanting to take a few underwater shots on a budget.

Sea Life cameras are reasonably priced (I own 2 and killed a 3rd), and work well for snorkeling/diving down to recreational limits. They also have video and flash capabilities. My Avatar photo was taken with a Sea Life 1200 snorkeling in Akumal Mexico a few years ago. It's a longer shot as this guy is over 5 feet long and would get grumpy when I tried to get closer.

OK. Now that the trip is over, here is a sample. Ended up with a budget underwater P&S but it worked out for what I needed given the budget I had to work with.

Thanks. I really enjoyed being able to continue shooting even when in the water.
