Not sure if this is the right spot for this but here goes:

I've dropped my phone in the river once whilst taking pics and took a little dip in the Taff on Saturday, my 1 day old new phone looked like it had a short life but luckily started working ok after a couple of days.

Think it's about time I got a waterproof camera?

Anyone using one already or have any recommendations?

Thanks guys, reasonably priced as well, I'll go and track one down in the shops and have a closer look.

Any other ideas welcome from all.

I've had a few - pentax optio, olympus mju etc and at the end of last year got a panasonic lumix waterproof - the Panasonic beats the other ones I had hands down, but is a little more pricey - much quicker shutter speed, clear images and decent HD video. Well worth a look before you commit.

Think the issue is going to be tracking down somewhere where I can have a dabble with them all in the flesh; thanks for input.

What I'm after is simple, good quality, fast one handed pic taking; no frills necessary really but I'm a sucker for nice kit!

Splash,

You want an Olympus Mju 850 SW or the newer version! Believe me you cannot go wrong! Water and Shock Proof.

M...... they are now called "Tough" here is a review of the 8000

I use an Olympus Tough. Whilst I find its speed a little lacking, with the image quality set at its highest, it's proving a worthwhile addition.


Check Ebay - there are some deals out there... somewhere
