First came the camera. Then there was the underwater camera. After that came the digital camera and now we have underwater digital cameras. Underwater digital cameras are ideal for capturing the beauty of the undersea world (or the bottom of your swimming pool if you have that special artistic eye!). They are used by both scientists and scuba divers. Digital cameras come in many well-known brands including Kodak, Canon, Nikon, Sony, and Olympus. Surprisingly enough, the cheapest brands cost less than $200, although prices rise quite steeply for the highest quality cameras.
Some of the advantages of underwater digital cameras include:
– You can plug them into a TV.
– They are smaller and lighter than film cameras
– Bad shots can be easily deleted
– They can change resolution, which is useful for wide-angle photography in low lighting conditions underwater
– They produce better high-resolution shots
– They never run out of film (because they don’t use film!)
– They have better depth of field (up to 4 times that of film cameras)
– They feature strobe shutter speeds...
