    Im looking to buy a nice cam for filming in the water *I Dont Not Want to Mount on My Board*
    I have boughten a go-pro, and have had no good experiences with it. anything else?

    im willing to buy a housing, but no for tons of money!

    I have done reasearch and have only come up with the following:
    pentax optio w90
    go-pro
    (i dont really like these choices)

    thanks alot!

    and just for future reference- what kind of cams do the pro's use for sweet water shots???

    You could get the pistol grip for the go pro and get some sweet barrel footage

    and pros use real cameras (non waterproof), then buy housing. you're not going to find great quality waterproof cameras, housing is the best bet
