9 Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS25 16.1 MP Tough Digital Camera with 8x Intelligent Zoom

I have only used this budget digital camera underwater once so far, but it was absolutely fantastic. I took it to the swimming pool with my daughter and niece as a test run, and got some great shots of my niece swimming underwater, and alternated with underwater shots and above the water shots. The camera is made to slough off the water as soon as you pull it out, so the pictures out of the water don’t have spots or water drops on them. It seems like a minor thing, but it really made a huge difference. As for being waterproof, it seemed to hold up great. After we got home, I noticed it had some chlorine spots on a couple pictures (after I tried to use a dry cleaning cloth on it) so I soaked it in a sink full of clean water for about 5 minutes, and voila! Perfect photos again. I’ve seen some reviews that say this camera doesn’t work well inside, haven’t noticed a problem myself. Pretty much every single picture I’ve taken with the camera has turned out with great color balance and good lighting. I have had a couple overexpose a bit with the flash, but hey, this is a point and shoot camera, not a professional grade camera. The overexposure can be fixed on the camera itself with the offered image editing or with editing software on your computer.

10 Canon PowerShot SX50 HS 12MP Digital Camera with 2.8-Inch LCD

The Canon PowerShot SX50 HS boasts the most ambitious lens of any camera in its class, and in favorable conditions it’s hard to beat in terms of framing versatility. Image quality compares well to its competitors, and we like the camera’s ergonomics (although a zoom control on the lens would be very welcome) but where the SX50 HS falls down is highlight clipping in JPEGs, a relatively slow lens and sub-par operational speed, which compares rather poorly to its peers.

• 12.1 megapixel high-sensitivity CMOS sensor
• DIGIC 5 image processor
• 50x optical zoom (24-1200mm) and 24mm wide-angle lens with Optical Image Stabilizer
