Top 3 Best Underwater Camera: Review

By Patrik G. Moore

Cameras had reached new horizons and depth in the field of photography. It has evolved enormously catering to consumer demands and desires. To date, the cameras do not only do photos but videos as well with varying depths, resolutions and image sizes. To our surprise, there are already underwater cameras ready to restore our water related memories. This has totally revolutionized cameras and by far extends what they can normally do.

Since the initial company release to disclose their own underwater camera, camera giants and their counterparts have made their own as well. Each year countless underwater cameras have been added, changed or improved to make better ones. In fact, if you Google search for a specific water proof camera it will display over a million hits with hundreds of brands. With that, I went up to solve a dilemma of many consumers and present the top three for easier choosing. Let me give you these underwater cameras and see what they can do and what they have.

The first on our list would be the SeaLife DC1000. This brand has carved its niche in underwater photography and since then has been setting high standards specifically specializing water based cams. The magical thing about this latest installment of SeaLife is how it brings vibrant color into play. Some specifications making this our first underwater camera includes 10-megapixel sharp, high resolution images, a large 2.7" LCD screen, up to 200 feet of depth, 5X optical and digital zoom, 4 UW color correction settings perfect for shallow and deep depths, auto mode for automatic exposure settings, snorkel and spy modes, user friendly buttons and options and different land and sea modes. You can even buy additional accessories to enhance your photography experience.

The second underwater camera that I would suggest for camera enthusiasts would be the Canon Powershot D10. This is the first waterproof camera under the said brand giant. This contains 12.1-megapixel and can cater up to 10 meters of water depth. In addition, this is even shockproof and freeze proof catering up to -10oC. It allows up to 3X optical zoom, smart auto mode with scene detection, image stabiliser, motion and face detection with self timer and auto red-eye correction. Furthermore, it allows a range of shooting and special underwater scene modes.

Third on our list, and certainly not the last is the Olympus Stylus TOUGH-8000. This contains 12-megapixel with 3.6X wide zoom lenses. The top lens starts in 28mm and ends at 102mm. This line of camera is shockproof to 2m, waterproof to 10m, crushproof up to 100kg in weight and freeze proof until -10oC. Other specifications included are its wonderful TAP control menu for convenience, face detection, intelligent auto mode that adjusts settings, focus and exposure, air and pressure information of the water that can be easily seen on the camera's screen, LED illuminator for lighting and some macro and landscape movie and sound recording.

These underwater cameras are perhaps the best there is today, according to their specifications and quality of underwater images. So if you happened to seek an underwater camera, it would be better to check on these firsts in your local retail stores and I am sure this suits what you want and your budget too. So have fun in the water with these top underwater cameras making your memories more exciting and convenient.
