Please update this for the 2010 cameras you have listed on “The Release Date of All Waterproof Cameras for 2010 – a Complete Guide” – an updated table would be so helpful for picking my new camera.
Tina,
Right now I’m gathering the specs of all the 2010 cameras. I haven’t updated this spec sheet because some manufacturers have not released the manual of their products yet.
But I think I’ll be able to post a new spec comparison next week.
Tina,
The new comparison chart is up.
