Disposable Underwater Camera

Archive for July, 2011

So I have this camera, Canon PowerShot D10 12. 1 MP Waterproof Digital Camera with 3x Optical I'mage Stabilized Zoom and 2. 5-inch LCD. It says its waterproof up to 33 feet. My mother said that I need to buy a case for it to go underwater since I might ruin it. But, I don't think so because its made to go underwater. But, I don't want to risk it. Please help. I think I found an answer. No, it doesn't need the underwater housing. It is a "Waterproof" camera.

I have a Casio Exilim EX- Z1080 which I bought with an underwater housing, the EWC – 90 or similar, to take pictures while I scuba dive. Now I've recently become more interested in my photography and want to maximize the quality of my pictures by adding a strobe. Unfortunately, when I bought the camera, I didn't think of this at the time and apparently the housing doesn't support a strobe. However, at the bottom of the housing it has a screw in connector which looks like it could fit some sort of arm for the strobe. I'm wondering if there are any strobes that I can connect to my housing? I really don't to fork out money for a new camera as the camera is decent enough with 10. 1 mega pixels which is what most underwater camera like Sea & Sea are. So can some point me in the right direction? Thanks in advanced. I was happy to learn… Yes, Sunpak makes an underwater strobe, which you can attach to the tripod socket (that the screw in connector). It is triggered by a sensor which sees the camera flash going off, and this triggers the attached strobe simultaneously. It'll cost about $170.

I want to get an amazing underwater digital camera, I love photography and don't want to have to worry about the camera getting wet. I also would love it to have as good a zoom and picture quality possible. I really like the Canon Powershot d10, but it is so bulky and I'm scared that if I buy it, a new, better camera will come out. I don't need a new camera until summer 2010, do you know if there will be a new model of an underwater camera coming out?. Thanks. Do you know what I found? I recommend Canon PowerShot D10 12. 1 MP Waterproof Digital Camera with 3x Optical I’mage Stabilized Zoom and 2. 5-inch LCD
