no more than 20 feet max, probably 10 though
Buy an Olly Stylus Tough TG-810 - one of the new ones with the double locking 'better sealed' doors. It even does HD VID with one press of a button.
this Tough camera is virtually indestructible. It's waterproof, shockproof, freeze proof and scratches resistant to an unprecedented degree. A sliding double lock mechanism for port and battery protection mean your Tough will survive just about anything, from a food fight at a kids' birthday party to an unexpected fall when you have to juggle your phone and camera to take a call. What's more, the Tough camera offers a host of cutting-edge features that deliver excellent image quality, usability and connectivity in any shooting situation. The 3.0" HyperCrystal III LCD display features an extra high resolution that generates beautifully bright and clear images. It also has a special layer that reflects light from external sources, thus reducing reflection even in direct sunlight - for outstanding visibility in a variety of shooting situations. And of course it's super-tough. A triple-coated acrylic finish makes the LCD more scratch-resistant than ever before. The Face Detection technology searches for faces in a composition and recognizes them as the main subject. It then automatically puts them in focus and optimally adjusts exposure to create an image that's sharp in the right places and ideally exposed. The AF tracking system tracks a moving subject automatically and keeps it continually in focus - for optimally focused and exposed pictures. It even memorizes the subject when it goes out of frame and resumes tracking when it reappears. Providing two-fold protection, the dual image stabilization function helps to avoid image blur caused by camera shake or fast-moving subjects. It combines high ISO values with a CCD-based mechanical image stabilizer, where a built-in gyro sensor detects camera movement and adjusts the CCD accordingly. The "intelligent-auto" mode uses advanced automatic detection technology that enables the camera to automatically recognize the most commonly shot scenes. This makes it possible to capture perfect photos without the need for manual settings. In the i-Auto mode, the camera detects when it is underwater and automatically activates the i-Underwater Snapshot, adjusting the tricky settings required for top-quality underwater shooting. It's perfect for portraits shot in shallow water and captures the subject and the background vividly. The scene mode offers a choice of different scenes to suit the subject being captured, for example, landscape, night, beach and snow or pet. The camera automatically adjusts a host of parameters to achieve the best possible result for the chosen scene. The Shadow Adjustment technology is designed to improve exposure for pictures with dark areas. Using a sensor that works much like the human eye, dark parts of a composition are identified and the camera then adjusts the exposure settings accordingly for those areas. The result is a more realistic and detailed picture. Quick view mode, shooting mode, a user-defined feature, and snow mode can be accessed by tapping at particular points of the camera. Tilting the camera scrolls through images in playback mode. The TruePic III+ image processor automatically enhances important aspects of image quality, including color reproduction and picture sharpness as well as processing data faster.
DOWN SIDE from switch on to 'focusing and capturing an image' takes TEN yes TEN seconds
Flooded three housings now and ruined three digital cameras
I would not under any circumstances take my 'main' camera U/W
And yes i was ULTRA Careful with seals and cleaning and lubricating the O rings just not with the risk really.
Give me a shout and i can post some UW shots here ASAP
