Going to the Bermudas and looking for a camera that will resist the splish splash of your boat trip, looking for a camera to take pictures of your next snorkeling trip that will impress friends and family or wanting a good camera to catch your little one puddle jumping in their new cute rain boots under the rain? Choosing a good waterproof camera isn’t easy, and choosing a digital one, a nightmare! Indeed, it is not easy to combine technology with water. While you can find plenty of options for regular cameras, finding a a waterproof one can be a real challenge.
Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-TX10 16.2 MP
You will learn quickly that if you want something that resist shocks and the salty water, you may have to spend a little bit more to get a great quality camera. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX10 is our first main pick.
Certified, waterproof, dustproof, shockproof and even freeze-proof, this digital camera is basically good in all conditions, in any part of the world! This camera is so slim, but also extremely sturdy. It is a very responsive camera that will catch any precious moment on picture or on video. The DSC-TX10 has a touch screen with fairly intuitive functions and can capture full 16.2 megapixel resolution images at up to 10 frames per second. There are some limitation to the zoom strength, due to the size of the camera, but overall the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX10 offers a great picture quality, including a spectacular underwater performance.
Canon PowerShot D10
Our second pick is the best-selling waterproof digital camera Canon PowerShot D10. This camera is more “cutsy” and is a fun family camera. An image is worth 1000 words… why not check out the pictures and video at the bottom of this article of the Canon PowerShot D10 waterproof camera.
But in more technical terms, the Canon PowerShot D10 has great features. The camera can go as deep as 33 feet underwater and can tolerate temperatures as low as 14°F. The camera has a Smart auto mode that detects what scene is should pick and the optical image stabilization and motion detection work amazingly to prevent blurry images. Slightly bulkier than the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX5, the D10 is not as sleek and fancy looking, but its rounder shape is made to take a fall or two. Overall, this camera offers great pictures and features and sturdy enough to let your younger one play with it at the beach.
Olympus Stylus Though-6000
The toughest of all cameras is probably the Olympus Stylus Tough-6000. This camera is great to bring anywhere and this model has vast interface improvements over previous Olympus waterproof models. Users will love all the new features, such as the tap control and the better image stabilization. While it may not give pictures as sharp as the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX5 or the Canon PowerShot D10, the Olympus Stylus Though-6000 is far the most robust model and will suit any clumsy hands.

Waterproof cases are also a good alternative to waterproof cameras. However, the plastic can become foggy, leading to blurry pictures. A waterproof camera will give you some peace of mind when bringing your device underwater, without the worry of a leak or damages to an expensive SLR camera.
