I am looking for a WATERPROOF HANDHELD CAMCORDER for a trip that I am going on. I need tips and advice for what to look for when buying the camcorder. It doesn't matter about cost, I just need to know the suitable quality for going on a vacation, where there is great quality of sound, good picture, can be used when snorkelling, good battery life, etc.

If anyone could give me tips, advice, or their knowledge from personal experiences on what to look for and what sort of brands are good or bad when buying them. Also websites of places I could buy one is good too. Any sort of information or websites where I can research more would be greatly appreciated too.

I would like the style of all of these to see but being waterproof.

Q.

Answer
Best Video Quality from any of the Camcorders in the Consumer Level Camcorders Category, is any MiniDV tape Camcorder. To get a HD camcorder that could take as High as Quality Video as MiniDV tape Camcorder does, one could not find it in any HD camcorder costing under $3300 or higher.
