Disposable Underwater Camera

Archive for May, 2011

It is a known fact that over seventy-five percent of our world is covered in water, this world has just as many interesting things to take pictures of and is always changing with every ripple and wave. Underwater cameras are a good way to capture these scenes that are ever changing. Underwater cameras are good for deep-sea divers and the snorkeling community alike. They are also a good type of camera to take to the pool or lake to sneak a few pictures of the local wildlife in the water and around the water. No matter if you are new to using an underwater camera or picture taking in general, the water has a lot of offer and just waiting to be seen.

These types of cameras are not to be confused with a normal camera that is used every day on land. An underwater camera is specially made to be able to be completely submerged underwater and able to take the pressure surrounding it and has a waterproof casing. The underwater camera also takes the same good quality pictures on dry land in rough and rugged conditions, but it has advanced features for a water setting.

Underwater cameras come in all shapes, sizes and film format. Many digital cameras that are made for the underwater environment come with a viewfinder so you can notice exactly what you are taking a picture of and what your camera sees. There are still a good line of underwater cameras that use film that needs to be developed and they work just as well as a digital camera and take the same good picture. The smaller underwater cameras are normally very good for up to two hundred feet to four hundred feet while the bigger cameras are made for deeper regions of the waters.

I've been looking at buying either an Aqua-Vu or a Vexlar FL-8 from or possibly Cabelas. Anyone used either. Basically… The Vexilar is MUCH more important than a camera. In Ice-fishing, a camera is an "optional" tool. Why is a Vexilar so important? #1. You can check the depth of the water where you want to punch a hole BEFORE drilling your hole. A camera can't do that. #2. You can't check a Thermocline with a camera. #3. Although various camera company's (Aqua View, Etc) WANT you to believe that you will get crystal clear images in any conditions, I own a camera and unfortunately that is NOT the case. An inexpensive camera in the $200 range is next to useless in any stained water. Even if the water is mostly clear you have to be VERY close to your lure/bait to actually see a fish strike. (Unless you can afford to purchase a premium-grade $500 + Camera with every bell and whistle.) However, a camera is a GREAT tool when you want to find out WHAT species of fish is tugging on your line, (and it's fun to watch). Here's a good analogy: Think of a Vexilar/Flasher as your "general" fish finder, and a camera as your "zoom" feature.

I've heard of far too many cases of people saying that their Olympus waterproof camera had leaking seals. I need it for holidays (going to the USA), and can't risk buying an Olympus if it might leak. Just wondering if anyone can recommend an Olympus model that isn't prone to leaking seals, Or can anyone tell me how the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1 performs in comparison (picture quality, speed, practicality etc. ). Basically… A Panasonic Lumix TS1 series camera is the best waterproof camera you can get (it might also be the most expensive one). A lot of people have had problems with the image results when they took pictures with the Olympus Stylus Tough-8000, so it's probably a good thing that you didn't buy it. The Fujifilm FinePix Z33WP and the Canon D10 cameras are your other options. The most affordable you could get is the Fuifilm FinePix Z33WP. I hope this helps.
