If anyone knows of any good cameras mainly for underwater video capture the info would be greatly appreicated

Just found this on a reviews site:

On a side note, normal batteries don't last too good in this camera, however, those fancy energizer lithium ones last forever in it. I highly recommend spending the extra money on the better batteries, as it will save you money in the long run, it just eats regular ones, but these lithium ones are going strong for well over three times the length of time the normal batteries were in for.
