Camera help-What do you use to take your Negril pics?

If it were me......I would look to Goggle also, just type in what you want it to do, and check the reviews....remember there are good cameras, and dont forget, save some money and buy a nicer camera, then get a underwater housings, they have come way down in cost........many choices

I know its not one of the three cameras you mentioned but we have the older version of this camera and love it.

The zoom is not that great but it takes great pictures, its waterproof to 10', and its really tough so you can just throw it in a backpack or a beach bag and not worry about it.
We have had ours for two years and had no problems at all.

I'm liking my new Cannon Cyber-shot with 10x zoom and a panorama feature.

For a waterproof camera check out Go-Pro http://gopro.com/products/

My Panasonic takes underwater pix. I think its a good starter camera...

thanks..is there a particular make or model of panasonic I need to check out? How much do they run..I'm looking at hopefully around $200 for the camera. I finally decided to stop just buying throwaways, and am really looking forward to playing with it and getting familiar with it before I take it on my trip.

That is one of the most intelligence statements ......I've heard in a long time..........Read the Manual and shoot before you go........if its gonna have any problems that is when they are more likely to happen...........

I have the Panasonic Lumix - I don't think it cost more than $200 - got it at Costco...

I second the Panasonic Lumix. I have had 2 Canon's, and while they weren't bad I didn't get the best shots from them either. I got the Lumix for the extended zoom to catch the Sunsets better but it has been an overall good camera and takes great pictures.

wow...still confused on which one I will choose, but thanks to everyone who chimed in... I think its gonna be Canon VS Panasonic.. I really like the optical zoom that Panasonic has, but being a previous Canon owner, it's kinda hard to switch brands. Not sure how the 2 compare in terms of low light shooting, battery life, and image stabilization.. Anyone?

Canon has done right by me..
