advice on what to buy
i want a digital camera that can be used for outdoor activities such as hunting and snowboarding, something durable, waterproof and has a clear long distance shot and good in low light (hunting is around dusk and dawn)
I havent come across a waterproof camera with a large enough lens to do well in low light. I have 2 models for you to consider though,
1. Panasonic DMC-TS1 - waterproof/shockproof 12MP and DOES 720p HD video.
2.Olympus - Stylus Tough 8000 12MP camera.
The panasonic will blow away the olympus in video quality and it also has a larger pens to collect more light. The panasonic also has 4.6x Optical zoom vs. 3.6, so long distance shots will be clearer.
I would say both are poor choices for low light, your best option is a D-SLR camera, they are sensitive to low light and can zoom much farther with telephoto lenses, however they are expensive and are not waterproof.
Olympus - Stylus Tough 12.0-Megapixel Digital Camera - Black
Canon - EOS Digital Rebel T1i 15.1-Megapixel Digital SLR Camera - Black
