Underwater camera

[Prior member]

I am looking for a decent rechargeable underwater camera, (for between a 100 and 150 dollars).
Can any one recommend one that they have and are happy with it in that price range ?

Sorry that doesnt exist. The only exception is if you can find something on a chinese or other foreign shopping website like Alibaba, but then you're hoping that whatever you order actually arrives AND actually works. Depending on size and what you're needing a marcum recon underwater camera for ice fishing is about the best option. About the size of a large smartphone, 5 inch screen, li-ion battery, small camera all in a package that can fit into a cargo pocket, but you're looking at probably $300 or so unless you can find a season closeout special.

Amazon has dozens starting at $33.:

But, does it work and not leak?  At least with Amazon, you can send it back.

547 user reviews and it averages 4.5 stars out of 5 stars. Sounds pretty good to me.

Somebody used to sell a little disposable camera that was waterproof to about 10 feet. What kind of depth are you looking at? Depth matters.

I have two Panasonic Lumix cameras that work underwater quite well. Been laying in a drawer for a few years unused. Bought "his & hers" cameras when we were visiting Florida each winter. I'd sell either/both for well under $100 (satisfaction guaranteed). Problem is we are on the road and won't be home for a couple of months!

Used GoPro on eBay.
So many people buy them, use hem a couple times and they sit.
They are solid cameras. I did all my dive videos using one exclusively.

I have an Akaso V Pro 50 that is a GoPro type camera.  I just returned from a trip where I used it on several snorkel trips.  Cost was about $100 on Amazon.

Thanks, I'll look into that one

You might need a waterproof housing, we got one for our GoPro several years ago, pretty cheap.
