Have been using an Optio W10 for years, which is great. Also have an Oregon Scientific ATC2K which takes horrible video. After much research, I have just upgraded to the Panasonic DMC-TS1. I was waiting for the Go Pro HD Wide to come out, but its still not shipping yet (11/30/09 after an original release date of 11/1/09) plus after reviewing some video from a regular GoPro wide, the super wide angle lens distorts to much at close range

I posted a couple of videos from the Pentax W10 on Youtube

I guess I should add some from the ATC2K for comparison, but im not rushing to use that again as the quality is just nasty

I use the Olympus Stylus 1050 SW camera because it is waterproof and shcokproof. I love this camera bought is just a couple months ago. I do with the zoom was a little better, but besides that I think it is great.

I use the Sony Cybershot DSC-U-60 Waterproof Digicam since 5 years. It’s just a 2 MP-camera, but still unbeaten in handling and picture quality. It’s a pity Sony never came with a successor. For replacement (just in case…) I am considering the Pentax W-60.
Greetings,
Hans

I use a Canon G9. On a neck strap, it fits nicely dropped down inside the top of my PFD where it’s protected from splash. No good for rolling practice, however.

I use a nikon coolpixP5100. I keep it in a ziplock in a soft case.
I’d like to know a good SAFE way to take photos in rough conditions.

Pentax W30 has been my choice because it can take 30fps video. W60 would be my option but it shoots only 15fps on HD, and stores HD video with MJPEG. I would have it immediately with 30fps and MP4 storage. Now I am waiting for next generation. Example video made with W30:

I now use a Vivitar ViviCam 6200w. Rubber armored, shockproof to 6′, waterproof to 10 meters. 6megapixels, color viewscreen.

Have also used GoPro Hero in the past.

I also take, on calm rivers, a Nikon D200 with a 70-300. With a dry bag for storage.

We use two Optios – mine is a WPi, my wife’s a 43wr. The 43wr, with it’s viewfinder and use of AA batteries, is a valued antique these days. Wish someone would bring out a new generation of waterproof digital with those two features…
