While resting in the summer, I would like to leave as a souvenir photographs of swimming in the blue sea water, riding on the slides in the water park. To do this, you need a good waterproof camera. For these purposes, it is very convenient. With it, you will not need to think about the fact that splashes can enter the speaker or lens, leading to possible damage to the device, as can happen with a conventional camera.
Why a waterproof camera is good
A waterproof camera not only saves money when the camera is dropped in sand, water or mud. This device allows you to take wonderful pictures that cannot be taken with a regular camera. You will be able to shoot your loved ones and friends not only on the shore and in the water, but also deep under water. Such pictures are unforgettable moments that you can keep as a keepsake for many years.
Choosing a waterproof camera
In order not to regret the money spent when you come from the store, take note of the criteria for choosing a waterproof digital camera.
So, you need to pay special attention to the following parameters:
Maximum immersion depth, indicated in meters. Knowing this will allow you to anticipate the limits of your camera's water pressure capabilities.
Impact resistance. This figure indicates how high the camera can withstand drops.
Frost resistance, i.e. critical temperature value.
The technical characteristics of the device are high-quality optics, good matrix resolution, optical zoom and other parameters of photography.
Weight of the waterproof camera. Unless you're only going to use your camera underwater, where things get a lot lighter, it's better to have it weigh, for example, no more than 200g.
Modern waterproof cameras
Previously, companies that produced cameras for the mass consumer mainly created only special boxes, and waterproof cameras were produced only for professional divers. Today the situation has changed significantly, as the demand for such cameras is quite high. Almost all well-known manufacturers began to produce such devices for mass consumption.
Modern waterproof cameras include, for example, the Pentax Optio WG-1 GPS. Its maximum immersion depth is about 10 meters. Among these cameras, the Olympus Tough TG-810 can also be noted. With this device, you can also dive to a depth of 10 meters.
In addition, Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 waterproof cameras are in demand, with a maximum immersion depth of 12 meters; FujiFilm FinePix XP30, with which you can dive to a depth of 5 meters.
In any case, the choice is yours. By comparing the models according to the above characteristics, you can choose the most suitable one, which is good from the technical point of view, has an acceptable price and you like it externally.
