’ž<h3>Three Great Waterproof Digital Cameras For Your Underwater Needs</h3> <p> Waterproof digital cameras are a great way to enhance any water-based vacation experience. Instead of relying on faulty waterproof disposable cameras for your underwater snorkeling or scuba forays, you can capture the colorful clarity of sea life far below the surface of the water. In addition, waterproof digital cameras are an awesome option for capturing water logged action shots of white water rafters, kayakers, fishermen and more. </p><p> The Sealife DC500  A Diver s Delight </p><p> While many waterproof digital cameras can handle up to thirty feet under water, the Sealife DC500 is the waterproof digital camera darling about scuba divers because it can be used up to a depth of two hundred feet! This camera has two basic shooting options underwater with the first being your typical underwater shot with a slight shutter lag. However, the shark mode captures your intended object of focus and then remembers the range so that subsequent pictures don t have lag time with the shutter speed. </p><p> Of course, the Sealife DC500 has a flash and expandability to other lenses as well as a 3x optical zoom and a 4x digital zoom. Auto-focus is one feature as is a 2-inch LCD display for viewing your pictures. At 5.0 mega pixels, this Sealife DC500 is among the worthy waterproof digital cameras on the market today. </p><p> The Toughest Waterproof Digital Camera Known To Man </p><p> The Olympus Stylus 770SW is perhaps the toughest waterproof digital camera known to man because it is waterproof, crush-proof and freeze-proof! Among the many waterproof digital cameras on the market, the Olympus Stylus 770SW sounds like it can handle anything that comes its way. </p><p> You can expect 7.1 mega pixels, which is a great resolution for waterproof digital cameras as well as 2.5-inch LCD display. This camera is waterproof up to a little over thirty feet underwater, shockproof up to five feet and it can also take up to two hundred twenty pounds of crushing force. Add almost thirty shooting modes along with movie sound and you have quite a winning combination! </p><p> The Budget Waterproof Camera Buy </p><p> The Pentax Optio W20 is perhaps the best budget buy in terms of waterproof digital cameras because you get some nice features for the relatively low price. It s not as fancy as others  you cannot go diving with it  but at a waterproof depth of up to five feet, it is certainly good enough for amateur snorkelers as well as those people who just sort of need a waterproof camera option. At 7.0 mega pixels and great zooming capabilities, this Pentax is a great buy for families who wish to capture precious beach and swimming moments with their kids. </p><p> While there are plenty of waterproof digital cameras on the market, the three listed above are some of the best based on how they would be used as well as what your budget might be. Always research your camera options first before talking with a salesperson in a retail store. Being prepared throws the salespeople off balance and you just might walk away with a better deal than you anticipated! </p><p>
