Best 4 Digital Cameras

Underwater digital cameras are quite rare. An underwater digital camera case is the easiest way to use your current camera underwater. The camera itself is unaltered, so it’s still convenient to use for day-to-day photos.

This underwater digital camera case is for the Canon SD1100 digital camera. Cases are made specifically for certain cameras, so there is not much chance of sharing between different brands, although similar models might just work, or at least allow a certain amount of functionality.

The downside of the underwater digital camera case is that it is quite expensive, you can get a digital camera for less. However the case allows you to use the camera where you never could before. For those who are keen on snorkeling, diving, vacations by the beach, or any activities where the camera might get wet, then this underwater digital camera case is ideal.

Waterproof digital cameras pick up where normal digital cameras left off. The most popular option for many of us, even if we have a digital camera, is to buy a waterproof disposable camera when we want to take shots out at sea, or just about anywhere where we think our digital camera might come to harm. A waterproof digital camera is a great option because it not only allows you to take pictures just about anywhere, without fear of destroying the camera, but still allow you to take all those everyday shots you would before. Taking action shots of kayakers, fishermen and white water rafting will be as easy as pie.

The Sealife DC500 – For Divers

Thirty feet of water is a usual figure for most waterproof digital cameras, but the Sealife DC500 pushes the envelope, being able to be taken down to a depth of two hundred feet, if you dare. The camera itself features two main shooting options for underwater shots. The first is a basic mode which just has a slight shutter lag. The second mode is the more powerful. This so-called shark mode takes a picture as normal, but remembers the settings of the last shot, so that any subsequent shots will be taken much quicker, so you don’t miss that all-important moment.

There are the range of standard features too. There is a built-in flash, as well as a 3x optical zoom and a 4x digital zoom. There are a few choices of lenses that will help to expand this basic range. Auto-focus and a 2-inch LCD display allow no-fuss point and shoot capabilities, while still being able to verify that your pictures are alright. Picture quality is 5.0 megapixels, which is enough for just about anybody.

The Waterproof Digital Camera Warrior

The Olympus Stylus 770SW is a super-tough waterproof digital camera, but it’s not just waterproof, it is also crush-proof and freeze-proof. Amongst the range of tough camera, this one certainly has a good portfolio and will be able to handle much of what you try to throw at it.

Standard picture resolution is higher than that of the DC500, supporting up to 7.1 megapixels, and having a slightly bigger LCD display, at 2.5 inches. The Stylus is waterproof to thirty feet, shockproof up to five feet and can withstand up to two hundred and twenty pounds of crushing force. The package is rounded off with a monstrous thirty different shooting modes as well as sound recording and video recording capabilities.

Budget Waterproof Camera

The last in our lineup is the Pentax Option W20. The Pentax is the most mellow of our three competitors. It is not designed to go diving, even though it is rated at up to five feet. It is certainly up to the task of watersports and other activities that would scare a normal digital camera to death. 7.0 megapixel picture quality and an LCD display and standard shooting options make this a great buy for an active family who want to capture those moments by the sea and the fun escape of a white water adventure.

There are other waterproof digital cameras out there, but these three give a good outline of just what is available and the kind of range you can expect to see. Which one you get will depend on your budget and just how much you plan to use and abuse your camera. Do a bit of homework before getting your waterproof digital camera and you will be surprised at how much more you know than the sales guy at the store.

There are a myriad of digital cameras to choose from out there. Vivitar is certainly one of the better names to go for. Their range of sporty and versatile cameras suit a wide range of people. Vivitar digital cameras come in seventeen different flavors, including three DVR models, which have both camera functionality as well as an MP3 player and DVR functions.

Vivitar has had its time in the spotlight, with an introduction to the celebrity mainstream. Entertainers at the Sundance Film Festival and the MTV Music Awards use some of Vivitar’s line of cameras. But these are not the only things that have contributed to Vivitar’s success as a camera manufacturer, their range of affordable and cool cameras makes them an obvious choice if looking for a new digital camera.

Under The Sea

A waterproof digital camera might seem silly to some people, but there are advantages, even if you are not going diving. Vivitar’s ViviCam 6200w is a waterproof option. The camera’s rubber seal helps to keep it waterproof up to thirty feet below water, perfect for snorkeling or wet outdoor activities.

6.0 megapixel picture quality gives a respectable image and the two inch screen helps with viewing shots after they have been taken, or when taking them if you don’t like to use the traditional viewfinder. The camera comes with a built-in flash, supports bigger memory cards and comes with a host of picture editing software. It’s fast becoming a favorite with digital enthusiasts and casual picture takers.

DVR-530

There are three DVR versions in the Vivitar digital cameras range, but the DVR-530 stands out. You don’t only get picture taking capabilities, which would be enough, but you also get the ability to take movies and play back MP3s. It comes with a 2.5 inch display and can take up to 5.0 megapixel pictures. The zoom is a standard 3x optical / 4x digital for taking close shots. You’ll need a stand for really high zoom levels. Coming standard with a 1GB memory card and bunch of photo editing software makes this an appealing deal.

And Many More

There are a lot more in the lineup all the way from 5.0 megapixels, all the way up to 10 megapixels. Budget will be the deciding factor as the basic functionality is the same amongst all the models, but the little extras are what cost the extra money. Higher resolutions and greater control over how features on the camera can be tuned to your needs are what you generally pay more for. So check out what’s available and go wild.
