Digital Cameras? - 12/22/07 04:53 AM
OK, it's Christmas, so before I buy the wrong camera, do any of you have good or bad to say about the following:
1. Sony Cybershot, 3x zoom, 7.2 mg pxls., Zeiss lens, $179. Not waterproof but good, and cheap.
2. Olympus, 5x zoom, 8 mg pxls. WATERPROOF to 10', $269.
3. Olympus, 5x zoom, 8 mg. pxls, Waterproof to 33', $339.
Q. Do any of you have one of the above, are you happy with it?
Have you had any problems with the "waterproof" Olympus cameras? Are they really waterproof? They cost more than I really want to spend but being waterproof would be nice to take out on the boat and get some action shots while racing.
Or is there some other camera in the $200-$250 range that does all that and is reliable too?
PS, I don't know squat about digital cameras so I don't trust the sales men when they say, "they are all the same..."
Any sugestions would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.
