Water Rafting, Help?

Camera good for river rafting and camping?

  • Im going to go river rafting and hiking in the mountains with NOLS but i need a camera that can handle it all. something water proof for the rafting but also something with good quality images and videos for when hiking. Im not looking for a 1,000$ camera but something good that's not too expensive in case it gets lost in the river or mountains. I need it to be both video and picture camera so please help.

  • Answer:

    Olympus Tough 8000 can be dropped from 6 feet without damage, waterproof to 33 feet. Alternatively the Tough 6000 may be good, but I don't know the specifics.

hey i just did a nols course down in patagonia chile. I had a olypus stylus 1030 SW its a great camera. Water proof up to 33 ft drop proof to 10 ft and does really well in cold weather conditions. I believe there are a few models below this one. i would say look in the direction, i was in the field for almost 6 months and had no problems.

My wife and I kayak A LOT (not as much this summer; cold and rainy), but we have a dog who goes, too...things can be clumsy on a kayak with a dog. The Olympus Stylus 1050sw has been rained on and dropped - never dropped into the water, thankfully, and it continues to take great pictures. The lanyard has held up very well and I trust the cord - also very important! It's compact, which is important for our backpacking trips, as well.

I would suggest Canon EOS Rebel T1i 15.1 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3-Inch LCD and EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens good for take high quality images and HD videos

I use an old Canon SD 400 and a Canon waterproof case. I'm sure you can find a newer model and waterproof case that will fit your bill perfectly.
