Purpose: To video swimmers underwater for instruction.
I have purchased a Panasonic DMC tS2 and think who ever designed the logic of the buttons must be of another species. The video jerks when there zooming when watching. (might be a frames per second thing) and makes a mechanical noise. I'd like to have a camera that: 1) I can put a polarizer filter on to cut surface glare. 2) Easy to use. 3) waterproof 4) Can drop on deck.
I'd like to hear what you are using and what you think. thanks!
We have been using the Flip Video HD (about $150) with the additional housing (about $40) with great success. If you have seen the product testing videos-- they are shot exclusively with this setup. (There is one on the front page currently)
We have also used it to film our swimmers both on and under the water with great success.
Not sure about the polarizing thing, and I have not dropped it yet, but the housing appears pretty rugged. Good luck with your search.
