Hi,

Heading to Hawaii soon for a week and going to do some snorkelling over there. Hoping to pick up something cheap to use while in the water over there. Considering I wouldn't be using it a whole lot, just something relatively cheap would be great

Any suggestions?

Considering something like this

but they're just examples, could be better options

    GoPro Hero - Yes it's the basic version, but it's a GoPro! Waterproof to 40m, so you won't be too worried about what you do with it. You can trust it in the water.

    $171 + Post
    $199 In-Store
    $196
    $196

    Plus you could probably still sell it for $100 when you're done, won't be so lucky with some random P&S camera

      Agreed.

      You could go one better and get a higher up model and get the GST off through the TRS if you think you'll use it often enough.

      DS for example has them on special for 20% off they might go to 50% off.

      At the end of your trip you can just sell it

    I do get a discount through JB HiFi through my employer so I will request a quote from them too.

    I have a Panasonic Lumix FT10 and an Olympus TG10…both waterproof and both I have used at 5 meters.

    I bought the Olympus with rewards points and the Lumix for $175.50 back in 2011 from eGlobal.

    This one is $99 at JB HiFI

    Read some reviews and comparison vids - the GoPro quality appears much better
