Hi all, I want to lift underwater photos, and the waterproof digital cameras I enjoy seen so far with the sole purpose have digital zoom. Are they available near optical zoom?
Answers:
Check the Olympus Stylus SW series of cameras.
770 SW, 790 SW and 850 SW = 3X optical zoom
1030 SW = 3.6X optical zoom
All four are shock proof to a five foot drop and marine proof.
try the investigational water proof olympus digital camera
else u can consider getting a sea proof casing near a canon cam.. works too ..
as for olympus, i cam across this deal at audio house, u may bring it as reference; Olympus FE 300 (12 MP)

Olympus. I have one. It really works =] Both Pentax and Olympus make underwater cameras beside optical zoom.
Try the Pentax Optio W30 or Olympus 1030 SW (or the older 790 SW).
