I have been looking at the Olympus 7000 ...bla blah... $160... blah... 10MP and this pantex for 300 with 12MP. I would like to take nice videos and good pictures in the ocean in that price range. Any suggestions from surfer kind?
I used the Flip Video Ultra HD with waterproof housing. camera around 150$ case was 30. works great except it doesnt float...learned that the hard way.
i used the pentex for a few years. excellent camera, takes photos quickly after pressing the shutter button (important). Maybe you can pick an older model up off of ebay. Go pro is solid as well.
