It would be much easier to answer your question if you announced the requirements for the type of camera, plans for its use outside the water and, most importantly, the budget.
Most waterproof camera models in domestic stores are not really designed for diving to a serious depth. That is, you can swim with them and take pictures of fish, which is more insolent.
If you don’t plan to dive with scuba gear, look towards Pentax’s of the W series. For the W80, the manufacturer promises 5 meters, for the W90 - 6, for the WG1 - 10.
And if it’s lower, keep in mind that underwater shooting boxes for popular camera models cost about the same as the cameras themselves. Sometimes - many times more.
Alternative: a film underwater camera that can withstand up to 25 meters can be bought in Egypt on almost every corner - the main thing is not to confuse it with the same one, designed for the same 3-5 meters. Scan the film - upon return in any decent minilab. Cons: lousy plastic optics. Dignity: it is not a pity to drown, and it will not work - "it" does not sink. :) And with the money saved on water resistance, buy a "land" device a little higher class.

the judgment about film junk is very debatable. In the world, a couple of months ago, the day passed when the LAST professional film was shown.

I have Canon D10 friends, I saw a lot of photos from it, Surfing and diving, skiing and mountaineering - PowerShot D10. The novelty is waterproof to a depth of 10 m, can withstand a fall on a hard surface from a height of 1.22 m, protected from dust and operates at ambient temperatures down to -10oC.

Nadia, the canon is undoubtedly good, plus the box for it is also very well made BUT - the price of the issue! Boxing costs more than a camera! if a person has nowhere to spend money - then you can buy. if it makes no sense to spend money on this, then it’s easier to take a good diving camera

I prefer to be called you!
And it’s Canon that I really love for color reproduction, sometimes Panasonic, and excuse me for being a fool, but I don’t like Nikon at all (but this is just my opinion), Sony often has a red color.
Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I see it.

The person asked a simple question from which it is clear that he is a beginner in underwater photography, and in response he received a discussion of professionals. I would advise you to buy film soap dishes and, if possible, immediately give them to print (before, such services were at every step, including in hotels). So you can quickly learn from your mistakes and feel the taste for underwater photography. The main thing is to understand the specifics of underwater photography, learn to fix yourself in the water and, if possible, get as close to the subject as possible. If you dive well - borrow a belt with a weight of a couple of kg from divers - this will help you dive and stay in the water column.

Film-money down the drain.
It is better to study "online" with digital soap and see immediately where you "got it wrong", trying to immediately correct the flaws.

By the way, to my list...
There are 15 for one Canon model! Olympus models.
Moreover, Olympus is ahead both in terms of the beginning of the production of amphibians and in terms of filling (for a couple of years there have been models with HD video recording).
Although I'm not asking anyone to do anything...

"Film-money down the drain." - agree 100%
To take pictures with film, you need ISO 800 film sensitivity, and they have never been sold separately (at least in Ukraine they could not be found anywhere, even on order).
With a lower sensitivity of ISO 400, the pictures are just dregs .... ((((

Ready to agree, with one "but". An underwater vehicle, especially boxing, must be able to use. Even experienced ones sometimes "drown". You can ruin your holiday mood.

nadin65,
The Kyiv "Photofond" seems to carry narrow Fuji Pro 800Z on order, at least this position is on their website.
In the same place, by the way, there is also Portra 400 in both versions, NC and VC, and not on order, but in stock. According to bourgeois reviews, NC fluffs well up to 640, gives terrible grain at 1600, and opinions differ at 800.
However, this is already offtopic, since the author of the question has already decided on the figure. In short, you will find the website of the Photo Fund, if anything. ;)

At work, this vykavanie is so annoying that you feel like you are over 90.
For two years of choosing a camera for underwater shooting, I understood one important thing! In order for the camera to have an underwater shooting function and high light sensitivity, now there are a lot of new models with such parameters.
Other requirements, as for me, are the compactness of the camera, then the Ewa Marine case, or dicapac, aquapac, drypak, etc. smaller sizes are cheaper.
