Top 3 Best Underwater Camera: Review

Cameras had reached new horizons and the depth in the field of photography. It has evolved tremendously catering to consumer demands and desires. As of today, the cameras not only take photos but also videos with varying depth, resolution and image size. To our great surprise, there are already underwater cameras that are perfect for water memories. This has completely revolutionized the technology and by far extends its usual limitations.

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.

One of the only disadvantages of it is you can’t (so far) use a teleprompter underwater.

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 dedicated to water-based gadgets. Its magic in this latest installment of their wide array of camera is generating vibrant colors irregardless of water origin. Some specifications of this camera includes its sharp 10-megapixel, high-resolution images, a large 2.7″LCD screen, up to 200 feet deep, optical and 5X digital zoom, 4 UW color correction settings perfect for shallow and deep waters, the automatic mode for easy exposure settings, snorkel mode, user-friendly buttons and options coupled with land and sea modes. You can even buy additional accessories to enhance your photography experience.

The second underwater camera I would suggest for those who love the underwater would be the Canon Powershot D10. This is the first waterproof camera in conjunction with its brand. It contains 12.1 megapixels and can serve up to 10 meters of water depth. Moreover, this is even shock proof and freeze proof up to -10oC. It allows up to 3X optical zoom, intelligent auto mode with scene detection, image stabilizer, motion and face recognition with auto timer, and red-eye correction. It allows a wide range of shooting and special underwater scene modes.

Third on our list and probably not the least is the Olympus Stylus TOUGH-8000. This is 12-megapixel underwater camera with 3.6X wide zoom lenses. The lens start at 28mm and ends at 102mm. This camera line is shockproof up to 2m, waterproof till 10m, crushproof at 100kg and freeze proof up to -10 oC. Other wonderful technicalities included are its TAP control menu for convenience, face detection, intelligent auto mode that adjusts settings, focus and exposure instantly, easy checking of air and water pressure that can be readily seen on its screen, LED illuminator for underwater lighting purposes and some macro sceneries and even 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.
