NIKON AW1

Higher resolution, pixel size, sensor size, weight , high speed frame rate, AF , shutter speed,

U should be happy

I hope

do you know what's the current market price ?

I originally bought the Panasonic TS20 some years ago. The picture quality was horrible and the camera died after maybe 3 times in the swimming pool.

Replaced it with a Panasonic TS5 which is much much better, haven't died yet even after water, sub freezing temperatures up at Everest Base Camp. The picture quality is not as good as my Fuji X10 but it's good enough for most uses plus as a daily camera the response time is excellent, definitely better than my Nexus 5 camera phone. GPS tagging is pretty useful too.

However I have a GoPro Hero 3 Black too, and when looking at video specifically, the GoPro is leaps and bounds better.

NIKON official price :
Body only RM2698

Add kit lens 11-27.5mm +rm100

Crop factor is 2.7

Double kit lens +rm600

(+10mm/f2.8)

Shashinki about RM2558 with kit lens

Or if you don't mind the look. Can try the Pentax Optio WG3.

Retail price at around RM1,180.00.

Cheers and happy shopping.....

Anymore recommendation ?

Your budget ?

The above already covered mid range to high.

try Olympus too .. their picture quality is good.. really !

Below 1.5k

most of the time the underwater housing itself will cost at least rm1k.. usually more expensive or similar pricing to the camera itself.

your budget is a bit too low for an underwater set up.

Then u need to change ur title

Dun say "help me find the best"

State clearly ur budget

There is a pinned thread on what camera to buy with template of info required

Forumer above me, what camera was that to snap ur avatar pic?

the pic was taken by my friend. They're mostly using G15. Another is using G16. Me myself am using OMD EM5 in nauticam housing, dual YS-D1 strobes

Light and portable underwater camera, best is still the Go Pro.

Also depending if you plan to go diving with it or just snorkeling. If diving then you need a proper underwater housing that can withstand up to certain depth. There are cheap OEM brand ones which probably cost RM500+ or so. Canon compact camera housings are above RM800+. And that's not inclusive of the camera.
