subject: Getting A Waterproof Digital Camcorder [print this page] If you want a digital camcorder that is going to be useful and versatile, you should definitely consider getting a waterproof digital camcorder. With a waterproof digital camcorder you are able to not only record video and take pictures on land but under water as well, and if this sounds like what you want, here are a few specific waterproof digital camcorder models that you may be interested in.
Sanyo Xacti E1
Known as the "world's first waterproof camcorder", the Sanyo Xacti E1 is a great choice here. This camcorder shoots standard definition H.264 MPEG-4 video onto an SD or SDHC memory card, and compresses it so efficiently that it can actually fit up to 10 full hours of a 640x800 video at 30 frames per second on an 8GB card.
This camcorder features 6 megapixel still photos, 5x optical zoom, 2.5-inch LCD display, and more. It is capable of recording full motion video up to five feet underwater and can capture the most dramatic photos. It is sure to become your camera for anything video or still that you want to picture.
What really sets this waterproof digital camcorder apart from the others is the fact that is has an advanced 6.37-megapixel CCD image sensor, which allows the camcorder to capture high resolution 6 megapixel still images in addition to recording high quality digital videos with full range stereo sound.
Aquatic
There is also the Aquatic waterproof digital camcorder which is still a great buy but definitely not as high quality as the Sanyo E1. There are actually as of yet not that many waterproof digital camcorders available on the market, but all the top names in the business are certainly taking notice of how popular these models are and getting in gear to come out with their own releases.
Make sure that you keep your eyes open for any new releases so you are aware of the new and exciting technology that is available to you. Waterproof digital camcorders are truly terrific devices and allow you more versatility and creativity with your video recording than ever before. They are also quite reasonably priced, so don't think that you will have to spend a fortune to get one for yourself.
So all in all, if you are looking for a waterproof camcorder, the Sanyo E1 is definitely going to be your best bet, at least for the time being. With the Sanyo name you know you can't go wrong.
