I highly recommend the Olympus Stylus Tough models. I own two. The first one I bought about 10 years ago. still works like a champ. And my new one I bought 4 years ago. I am not easy on my cameras. I take them to the beach ever weekend, camping, in the rain and I use them a lot in our pool. I have even dropped mine when riding my motorcycle. Sure it's a little scratched hear and there. I even have a deep nick on her but the camera still works like a champ.

I bought the Panasonic DCM-TS1 after checking out this blog: http://waterproofcamerareview.blogspot.com/

I have 4 of these cameras but only have them inside my home. I am thinking about putting one in an outside gazebo without the shell. I't covered and the location has never gotten wet before. Hope that helps.

The camera is somewhat weather-proof but not exactly waterproof. It can withstand getting a bit wet in the rain or some splashes in a kayak but if it were submerged in the water, it will almost certainly get ruined.

When on a paddle boarding trip Lake Powell with an SLR it's pretty much the best thing next to a very expensive water proof case. Go pro and iPhones just do not take the same quality photos.

The unit is water SEALED, not water PROOF. Further, many of the OlyPana lenses aren't weather sealed at all. I used mine extensively in rough weather and kayaking. It has been splashed and sprinkled on without issue. But if you fall in the water and submerge the camera, both camera and lens are going to be toast. Don't let this discourage you from taking it with you, just be aware of the devices limitations. There are many waterproof digital cams out there, but I know of no m43 or DSLR's that are.

I have had mine for 3 weeks and it has been in the ocean at least a dzoen times for more than an hour each time--both surfing and snorkling. I put my old camera in it and it fit perfect and pictures are awesome. NO leaking so far. BEST 12 dolllars I spent. I do not see many good reviews for waterproof cameras...they seem to brake alot and out of water do not take good pics or vids. Mine works awesome in and out all the time. What a genious invention!!!

The camera itself is not waterproof, but its case is. So as long as you have it in its case, then yes it is totally waterproof. Has it gotten wet without its case? Ya I've accidentally splashed it a time or two, if that happens I immediately turn it off and check to make sure I didn't get the internal parts wet. So try not to get water on it when its outside its case. I've taken it free diving in its case to depths deeper than 60 feet and, it can go down about 200 feet.

I have the older version of the Pentax waterproof camera, the Optio WR43. It has worked great for me. I was thinking of upgrading to the new Optio 90. It supposedly does HD. I used my older optio WR43 for taking kayaking. I have special helmet that I strap it onto so I can film going off of waterfalls and stuff, 20 to 25 footers. I also used it Paragliding one time. Here is my Kayaking video using the Optio 43WR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udX2ERY7R0s-Scott

The cameras are Weather proof meaning they can be mounted outside and are able to work on normal weather conditions such as rain, and sun. the camera cannot be submerge in water. They are not water proof. they are weather proof.

Water resistant. Very few electronic items will claim to be "water proof" for liability reasons. Even underwater cameras are only water resistant to a determined depth.

Not sure what you are looking for. Water Proof....you gonna be shooting under water? The battery, elevation, and windage adjustments have little rubber seals. I have shoot in the rain with it. It has gotten plenty wet, but I don't think it is rated Water Proof......you know, depending on what your shooting the best you can hope for is a range of between 2 to 9 feet underwater....that close you should not need an optic...oh and you wont have enough speed or energy to penetrate more then a cardboard box top.......Just goofing....this optic is built well and no need to worry about the rain and so fourth.

No it is not, an excellent camera, i have it outside for 2 years now under a roof bezel, so water doesnt really get to it. It works to this day 100% perfect. I have bought 3 more since.

Hi Paula, My name is Lonnie. I also bought the camera and waterproof housing. Mine is still good. Try here for a case. http://www.intova.net/ . If you can't find the case contact customer support and I'm sure they can help....

It is the newest, least expensive and I think the most attractive of the rugged series (720, 770 and 790). I think the 720 screen could be viewed better in direct sunlight, the 770 you can have in deeper water (waterproof 33 ft vs. 790's 10 feet). But of the three, the 790 is the one I'm buying- it looks the best and fulfills my need of being a camera I can take to the pool and on vacation and can even drop (having previously broken a Kodak and a Canon camera due to my clumsy nature) without ruining.

Yes! This is a terrible camera! I bought it because I was going to a water park with my family. After it went underwater (less than 3 feet) a couple of times it stopped working. I opened it up and noticed water had gone in through the casing even though it was closed correctly. Besides that the focus and zoom is terrible! I took it back and got my money back right away. There are newer and better waterproof cameras out there and I would invest in a different model/brand. Sorry for the delay in my response.
