Effectively Summer time is sort of right here again and if your family is anything like mine then you will spend lots of time working back and forth to the lakes or beaches in your area. With that being said, what number of occasions have you bought both a digital camera alongside and even bought one of the guide cameras? I am unable to let you know what number of occasions over the years when i used to be utilizing one of the cheaper digital cameras that i had bought whereas on a boat and even simply messing round on the seaside that i ended up dropping it into the water and even the sand. Like most electronics neither of those things actually help the camera. lol... I've even went as far as buy these little handbook waterproof cameras solely to seek out out that after using them all day in and out of the water when i take the camera in to get the movie developed about half the time the camera is ruined on account of one thing getting into the casing. Through the years i've misplaced so many treasured household moments as a consequence of this. They are moments I will by no means be capable to get back or exchange and as my memory fades these moments they turn out to be misplaced forever.
Well no more. I lastly did some attain on the Web and located many by no means and better choices for waterproof cameras to tackle my vacations. And the nicest thing about this is that its a really cheaper various that ruining that six or seven hundred dollar digital camera that you got for Christmas. Or even these low cost manual waterproof cameras you could purchase at Walmart for fifteen to twenty dollars a pop. You can now buy HD waterproof digital cameras for anywhere from 100 and fifty dollars to 4 hundred dollars and by no means have to fret once more about your dearer digital camera or the cheap waterproof guide camera.
Over the few years I've examined a number of of the waterproof digital cameras from FujiFilm, Panasonic, Pentax, and Canon. And let me let you know not all of them are created equal. Some can be utilized only at sure depths while others have a weak battery life. So If your actually interested by a waterproof camera make sure you do some good analysis on them. For instance the Canon Powershot D10 is rated to be waterproof as much as 33 feet which makes it nice for snorkeling and a few shallow diving. Whereas the Pentax Optio W90 12.1 MP is just rated for about 20 feet for being waterproof. The Fujifilm FinePix XP30 14 MP Waterproof Digital Camera can only do 14 feet. So that you see they are not all created equal.
In closing ensure you check out the small print of those waterproof cameras and purchase it primarily based upon sound data in addition to what your needs are. I personally now take the Pentax in every single place I'm going on vacation. Its a nice and portable and has fantastic picture high quality and good huge angle optical zoom on it.
