...and I'd like to get a model for which an underwater housing is available.
I'm not a photographer...I just want a new compact digital (something along the lines of a CoolPix or whatever those cameras are called) to use to take pictures of my kids, pix of family vacations, etc. Just your basic, everyday, $200 or less digital camera...the kind of thing you get at Costco or BestBuy.
However, I figure I might as well get one for which an underwater housing is available so I can snap some pix when I'm diving. I know there are many models for which the housings are available, but I just don't know where to start.
I've looked through the threads on this site, but frankly I'm a bit overwhelmed, so I figured maybe if I started my own thread, one or two of you nice, helpful folks would give me the 411.
Again, I'm not an underwater photographer (or even much of a topside photographer) and I'm not talking about publication-quality pictures of fish, coral, etc. Mostly, it would just be cool to take pictures of my dive buddies, some posed and candid shots while diving, etc.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
