Just woundering who makes them and which models they are. Also who carries them and price range, any response would be great. Thanks

I use this site whenever I have a question about digital cameras and what real users think of them. Good luck.

High marks for the Pentax Optio 43WR.... field-tested in Alaska 2 weeks ago.

Camera paid for itself on the first day out. One of my companions was stepping out of the boat to take a picture and FELL.... head to toe dunking, including my camera. This camera lived up to its submersible claims. Got lots of awesome pics afterward:

eyeFISH Alaska, Part 2

eyeFISH Alaska, Part 3


This is the only digital camera on the market that can be submerged without having to purchase a special waterproof housing.

I love it!

FNP, those pics are a great testimony! Terrific shots and a great story as well.....enjoyed them all. Not nearly as much as you did, THAT'S for sure.

Hey thanks for all the responses.

I have the Olympus Stylus, and I love it. I get extra water resistance by storing it in a Pelican case.

Are the parts for these waterproof cameras corrosion proof? If not then I'm not totally sure I'd want to take one on a saltwater fishing trip. Anyone able to give an account of whether these waterproof digicams can take some banging? I for one can't ever seem to be careful with my cameras and inevitably they get jostled around sometimes, but don't ever take serious damage.

I have a Cannon A70 That has a water proof case thats good to 200 FT

I guess I have messed up my share....

I was waiting for that one H2O

Most of the pix I've had up over the past year come from a Pentax Optio 33.

Same as the 43 mentioned earlier but earlier model with less res.

I don't use a case for it. It's small enough I just put around my neck and carry with me everu day in the winter time inside the hooded sweatshirts I wear in the winter.

Great pix, small size and it made it outdoors for an entire winter in Forks, need I say more
