    Default Need recommendation for waterproof compact camera

    Hi,
    I already have a DSLR camera so I don't really want anything too expensive but would like a small camera to take scuba diving up to 60ft/18 meters. Here's what I need it to be:
    - Waterproof up to 60ft, but will take 50ft
    - Compact because I'd like it to be small enough to fit in my pocket
    - Shoots HD Video and pics
    - A minimum of 5 megapixels (do they even make anything less anymore??)
    - Not too crazy expensive because it's for personal pics not professional
    Any suggestions?

    I haven't tried it but this GoPro Official Store: Wearable Digital Cameras for Sports may do.

    That may be just what I'm looking for, and the ability to mount it might come in handy.

    After reviewing that camera, it is exactly what I am looking for! And it's waterproof up to 180' which is way deeper than I'll ever dive to. But it's the video it takes that sold me. Here's their promo video:


    And my stomach drops when I watch this one


    Gosh, I sound like I work for the company or something lol but if I'm end up not being happy with it I will repost my own review.

    Holy crap! Now, that's definitely what the kids call "sick"!

    I've seen these on sale in one of the malls. Pricey but would be pretty versatile for lots of uses. Be sure to post some results.
