Hi guys, just after some info really. I am looking to replace my O[b]lympus mju 720SW[/b] waterproof camera with another (Mine got a tad too deep on holiday, it had water coming out of the battery door! Ooops)
I did like the olympus, but wouldnt mind a change. I would like one that has the 'motor' / continious shooting (for sequences) as i find this great for riding etc.
Good video quality would be good too.
So any recommendations? Depth not too important as its just for surfing now (freediving/snorkling trashes waterproof cameras!)
Ideas please!
Thanks
Happy with my mju 1050su (thin thats the model no. - slidy cover one) you could probably get the newer olympus for your budget. I bought from photobox I believe for around £130 at easter. My version definitely has a multi shot/sequence mode.
Before that I had a pentax w60 which cost a similar price back then (bought from pixmania) Great little camera, still going strong only replaced it as I wanted something new!
The new waterproof canons are a little too big to me.
Both the above cameras were/are fine for snorkling for me.
We got a blue Fuji one for the girls to take pics whilst snorkeling on holiday. Photos look good but missing the viewfinder

Yeah +1 for Tracey's suggestion.
Bloke I ride with works for Fujifilm & managed to get a couple of these for us to take on our hols last yr. Just lobbed them in the pool so we could have a try of them.
Seem to work pretty well. Not sure about how quick the sequence shooting is, but I imagine it would be not too shabby with a decent mem card.
You can buy rubber 'skins' for them too, to protect them from knocks
I've got an Olympus one - it's totally ace. Used it snorkelling on holiday and worked really well. Is shock-proof as well, so fine for sticking in a pocket when on the bike.
Thanks for the comments guys, I was thinking about the Fuji, just not sure. It doesnt seem as substantial/tough as my Olympus.
I think i may look at the cost of newer olympus ones.
Cheers!
Any other ideas/where to buy/good deals?
