Underwater Camera Advice Needed
Submitted by Simo_ on Mon, 2008-11-24 10:37
Im looking at buying an underwater camera for snorkelling, Im looking at spending around $400.
Ive been looking at the Olympus Tough 1050SW http://www.olympus.com.au/component/option,com_product/id,325/task,detail/Itemid,69/
Does anyone here know anything about this camera or can recommend something good.
Cheers
Simon

1030sw
G'day Simo
I have the olympus 1030sw and rate it highly for pic quality and for the size of it.
Most of the pics i have posted up here were taken from the 1030sw, have a look for yourself

Olympus
I have one of the models rated to 3m. They take some good pics but they do go grainy in low light. Other than that all good.
