Before you make a decision to buy underwater camera, and assuming that you are amateur photographer, these are some point you should consider:
Standardization:
Japan dominates the cameras manufacturing, Japanese Industry Standard (JIS) Dustproof Standard 5 and JIS Waterproof Standard 8 can be considered as the standard for deciding on a best underwater camera for not a professional photographer use. You should be able to operate the camera up 20 feet depth, especially for diving.
Sealing:
This is an important aspect, and should include covers for USB/AV and DC jacks, as well as protection for memory card and battery from water.
Quality of Photograph:
The best underwater camera should be more than 10 Megapixel (MP), and have at least 3X optical zoom lens. More wide aperture range will give more landscape photo options. A higher ISO can take pictures in less light and will give relatively noise free.
Design & Weight:
The best underwater camera should be designed to fit snugly in your hand to make for efficient use and built should be rugged, using standard aluminium and plastic and should be light weight. A wrist strap should be provided to avoid the camera from slipping into the water.
Other Features:
The best underwater camera should be have large LCD display, at least 2.5 inches, and some features such as Auto Mode, Movie Mode, Manual Control options, Image stabilizer, Synchro Sound Record Mode and fast shutter speed. The best underwater camera should also have sufficient memory to allow continuous shooting for movie mode.
