Re: need new underwater camera
For an entry level camera I would go with a GoPro, it's a great little camera and it has so many uses I use mine for Spearfishing and surf photography. If you are going to use it for only underwater I would get the replacement flat lens. But for anything else I think the wide lens looks better, also it is very durable and you can always use video mode and most video players have a snapshot mode where you can take a snapshot of the video and get pictures.
