bangkokburning Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) I like Canon, Id get a Canon. My Olympus 8000 was horrible. 8010 which they replaced with has serious quality issues but at least does not leak. On land its a total turd, I just use it for snorkeling. If you plan on any depth, you need a 10m camera - snorkeling. 3m cametas are for splashing about on the surface. I would get a camera, housing will be total hassle unless you are diving. Housings are a real hassle. Edited November 20, 2012 by bangkokburning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koolbreez Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 What do you plan to do with the pictures? That depends greatly on what you will need. If you just want something to take underwater pictures to put on Facebook, or show your friends then a cheap point shoot camera, and a soft plastic bag/case works. There are underwater, and water proof cases at all levels, for all cameras, and at all costs. You have to decide what you want to do with the pictures. One thing to remember is everything turns blue as you go down, then once you get below about 50 feet all color turns grey/black unless you have lights, or good flash. Water requires expensive lights, and flash to get shots at more than a few feet away. A good setup for down to about 30 feet without extra flash, or down to 90 feet with lights, is the Sony NEX cameras, then you can get a good hard plastic case good to 100 feet for bt4500 at a little shop at the back of the first floor of Pantip Plaza on the right as you go back. The hard plastic cases are allot of places, but they seem to have the best prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangkokburning Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Not recommending Koh Tao for coral, marine life or island beauty. The gulf aint much compared to the Andaman in general.imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
