Waterproof Camera FAQ:

Question: What is the latest kind of waterproof camera?

Answer: It seems that the waterproof camera that really delivers quality images is the Canon D10. It looks really cool, one giant cyclops’ eye of a flash. But the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 is quite impressive as well.

Question: Is there such thing as a waterproof camera case?
Like one that I can trust to put my digital camera underwater and take pictures?

Answer: Most digital camera have their own or recommends a third party underwater case. Depending on the make, model, size of your digital camera and depth you are going down to, my suggestion is to first go to the manufacturer’s website and check out the accessories. Otherwise, you can select either a solid, hard underwater camera casing or a soft zip-lock type version. Of course, the hard body/cases are more expensive than the zip-lock versions.

If you are only going to water parks and or vacationing and going to pools and about 10 feet deep, I suggest the zip-lock versions by DryPak, DiCaPac or AquaPac or any similar manufacturer. For scuba diving, I suggest hard bodies which also works for more expensive DSLR cameras. Please take note that water pressure (depth you go down to) also needs to be factored in. Most camera’s shutter release button will react to water pressure in a given depth.

Question: What is a good underwater camera for under $175?
I am looking for a good waterproof digital camera 9+ mega pixels that is fairly durable and can go at least 10ft down. I want to use it to go snorkeling and other miscellaneous underwater activities. Also I do like to customize my pictures a little bit.

Answer: Both a friend of mine and I have Olympus. Hers is a bit different than mine but mine is the Stylus 1030W and I couldn’t be happier with it! It’s Waterproof up to 33ft. Shockproof, Freeze proof and 10.1MP but I think Olympus came out with one that’s a little better and more expensive. I have had mine for over a year and have dropped it many times and its a champ! I can’t remember how much it was. I think around $175 but I know if you get it on ebay it will be cheaper with a bunch of extras and can get a warranty (I did). And you can customize a bit to (back&white, Shopia, Frames, Red eye, Crop, label etc…)

Question: Have you ever used a underwater camera case? do they reduce picture quality?

Answer: I’m a scuba diver and I have proper rigid underwater housings for both my DSLR and compact cameras. I haven’t used these ‘plastic bag’ types before, but there’s no reason why they should affect image quality underwater – plenty of other things will. Make sure you don’t go deeper than the recommended depth with it or you’ll flood the camera and get close to your subject. Turn off the flash unless you are very close and the water is very clear otherwise you will get backscatter (white dots) over your image from the flash.

When you are out of the water, if there are water drops on the front of the case over the lens area you’ll get blurred areas in your image, so try to dry it off with a soft cloth. Avoid getting sand/grit on the lens area part of the pouch. Rinse it well in freshwater after use.

Question: What is the best camera to use in an harsh environment like the amazon forest?
Waterproof, dust proof, solid, versatile camera brand.

Answer: Olympus is the most durable. Second up is Nikon although you sacrifice waterproof. While Canon has great point n shoots their SLR’s were “NOT” made to be dragged through hell and water, Canon’s definition of durable is sports. A 5D can be hit with a baseball going 102mph and be fine but you put it in a damp environment… Get an Olympus.

Question: Which water proof digital camera is better?
I’m trying to decide which of these two waterproof digital cameras to pick from. I can’t afford more then $200 on one so if you know another one that’s better then these two under $200 please let me know. I’m between the olympus x560 or the Fujifilm Finepix Z33WP.

Answer: As for the X560 or the Z33WP its really a coin toss. Nothing in the specs makes one particularly stand out above the other and actual reviews are scarce for both. Overall Fuji and Olympus make decent products but like all camera makers they have great, average and lousy models. With the lack of substantial reviews its difficult to say which would be best over the other.

Question: Waterproof digital cameras? Personal likings to any brands?
I want to buy a waterproof digital camera, that is water/shock proof. Any brands that people have tried, and liked? And do all water proof cameras have digital zoom? Do they make any optical zoom digital water-proof cameras?

Answer: The Canon D10 is a very versatile camera. It is small and surprisingly light. The build quality is excellent; the camera is manufactured in Japan. The image quality is typical Canon… realistic colors, little noise, and the camera is fast. I wanted a camera that I could carry and use in inclement weather. Rain or snow, I wanted to be able to take pictures while I am hiking. This camera seems to fit the bill.

Question: Can all cameras have a waterproof case that it can be put in or is it only specific?

Answer: For many models there are dedicated cases with buttons perfectly positioned, but there are many for which there are no such compatible dedicated case. There are some more generic underwater housings that can fit a variety of cameras. Those require pushing the buttons through the clear, soft plastic, and are less user friendly than the dedicated cases.
