I lost a GoPro to the ocean on a Hawaii trip and learned an expensive lesson. After that, I spent three months testing seven of the most popular waterproof cameras under $150 to find which ones actually deliver. Here’s the truth: budget waterproof cameras have come a long way. Today’s sub-$150 options handle snorkeling, beach … Read more
