 Just remembered, I also own a Oregon Scientific ATC9K, while more a video camera it is capable of taking photos.  Oregon Scientific and a few other companies (GoPro, Contour etc) make small little cameras designed for extreme sports. Unlike same of the others the ATC9K is waterproof (20m) without a case, my standards might be higher then many peoples (or I got a poorer then average copy) but I consider the video and photos are only just usable.    So unless small size is essential the money is much better spent getting a camera from a tier one manufacturer and placing it inside a waterproof case. 

I was so disappointed in the quality I have only used it a couple of times.  But here is a untouched photo from it.

I've got an Olympus FT10, bought it in november for my trip to Oz and it's been fishing, waterfalling and canyoning aswell, not a complain yet.
 
720hd video and 14megapixel stills. waterproof to 3mtrs, shock and dust proof and freeze proof. simple as to use.

I have currently been using my Motoroal Defy phone of all things, and the photo quality is terrible   borderline even by phone standards.  Also  Touch screens are next to useless when they get wet, so keep that in mind.  I have been unable to take photos due to the touchscreen becoming unresponsive, although I beleive most cameras have a dedicated shutter button which would make a touchscreen less of a liability on a camera then on a phone. 

I uploaded a few size photo if anyone is interested.

edit: Also worth considering a compact in a wateproof housing, for example the Canon S95 or S100 ,

Currently have a Canon D10 and it's a very tidy piece of kit.  I've also used the Olympus but in my experience the Canon takes better pix and the video option is great too. Also read a couple of good reviews on the latest w'proof pentax but I'd happily own another Canon D10.

Just had a idea, could be useful if people own these cameras to post a few images taken with them while being used in 'normal fishing conditions'. Would help give potential buyers slightly more to judge on before they make a purchase. 

Website reviews and Studio charts are good to see the technical flaws and to compare cameras in controlled environments but its still useful to see how camera's preform in the real world.

I've been using the new Olympus Tough model Herb and would have the same comments - great little camera, excellent quality shots and it's really good not having to worry about giving it a dunking.]]> Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:57:12 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40189&PID=671703&title=waterproof-camera-overview#671703 <![CDATA[Waterproof camera overview : I have had a Olympus WP 10mp for...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40189&PID=670620&title=waterproof-camera-overview#670620 Author: Rainbow

I have had a Olympus WP 10mp for over a year on the kayak and trout fishing.   It has been rained on splashed on with sw and even dunked in a turtle and is still working perfectly.   I just wash it under the tap to get rid of the salt and never have it in a drybag.    It is always handy to shoot without having to dig it out of any protective cover.    Best thing I ever bought after drowning two other digital cameras and all the holiday photos fishing around Akaroa, Colleridge and Rotoiti.
