subject: Knowing The Different Types Of Underwater Digital Cameras [print this page] Still looking for an underwater digital camera? Underwater Cameras are gadgets that are specifically made for underwater use or in circumstances that need protection to stop any water from getting in and damaging it under pressure. There are various types of underwater digital cameras that depend on your budget and purposes.
There are underwater digital cameras that are basically just one-time use. These are the lowest costing of all of them that you can get in the market right now. These underwater cameras have the capacity to take between twenty to thirty pictures, and pictures can easily be developed just like any other non-disposable cameras. They are water resistant to be used in severe rain and snow storms, and are usually tolerant of being fully submerged in water, but that depends on the depth that the underwater camera can handle.
There are also underwater cameras that can be reloaded but inexpensive. These cameras are made with economy of price in mind and the quality can be decent as well. These cheap cameras are almost identical to disposable underwater cameras except that the person can replace the film and use the camera again and again. They are generally capable of deeper water depths than their disposable counterparts.
New advanced digital cameras have resolutions in the three to four megapixel range and can take high quality photos underwater. These cameras give options from basic to advanced level of diver and snorkeler. The Advanced-Dive control system gives people a chance to manipulate resolution, light sensitivity, exposure modes, and many more while being in the water, and the Easy-Dive control system is great option for individuals seeking a simple underwater picture system that gives amazing results.
Underwater digital cameras are made for simplicity so they are usually just one-button options, and can be used on land to take regular pictures just like any other digital camera. Digital cameras also have three dedicated underwater external flash modes which give the user more exposure control when using an external flash.
While an on-camera flash will illuminate objects below the area, underwater digital cameras are also compatible with external flash units that you can buy with underwater camera kits, which ignite the vivid colors of being in the water and gives users to illuminate objects from various angles.
The digital camera underwater level varies from one camera to another. Some cameras can handle no more than thirty feet while some professional advanced digital cameras can handle over 150 feet deep. If you are planning to scuba dive, then you will need one that can handle the deep pressure of being below 150 feet of water.
Besides going to a store to get these cameras for underwater use, you can check the best ones online by looking up reviews from authoritative sites that talk about the top cameras to buy. The first thing that you need to check is that the camera is waterproof and can handle the depth of water that you will be needing it in.
