An Overview Of Waterproof Digital Cameras

September 12, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment 

<

Unlike ordinary compact cameras, waterproof digital cameras were made to be exposed not only to water, but also to dust, sand and even impact caused by falling or otherwise. Several models come with different features and it’s up to you to find the right model that will match your traveling habits and the outdoor activities you and your family often do.

If you’re an occasional traveller who’d like to take lots of pictures with your kids even in the water, go for either the Pentax Optio W30 or the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-U60. Although the latter one is a somewhat older model, it’s convenient to use with its vertical positioning, that way you can navigate the camera with just one hand. The W30, on the other hand, is also waterproof, although not impactproof. Just the same, both cameras are good for occasional water activities with your family.

For the divers out there, there’s the Sealife DC500: Like the name already says, this digital camera was made to best snap pictures of underwater species. Unlike any other waterproof digital cameras out there, the DC500 can take pictures at a depth of up to 200 feet. Now this is really something no other camera has achieved before, and that is definitely this camera’s strength, and an unsurpassable one at that.

Lastly, there’s the Olympus Stylus 1030 SW for the all-around water sports and outdoor enthusiast. You can take the 1030 SW up to 33 feet underwater and still take pictures. This latest model is not only waterproof and dustproof, but it is also freezeproof which means you can take it on your winter vacation with you. That, and, most incredibly, the Olympus Stylus 1030 SW is crushproof. Many users have already attested to this camera’s sturdy build, which makes it probably the best digital camera for outdoors.

Take Pictures Anywhere With Your Keychain Digital Camera

Taking pictures has never been easier with the introduction of keychain digital cameras to the market. Even the slimmest of digital cameras are no match to keychain digital cameras which are the top picks when it comes to being handy and compact.

Like the name already says, keychain digitel cameras are made to be attached to your keychain, or even your belt loop or bag strap. So far, these types of cameras are the smallest ones around. Take Philips’s P44417 series for example, with uniform dimensions of 2 x 0.7 x 1.5 inches. Vivitar’s model, on the other hand, measures 2.5 x 0.75 x 1.75 inches.

Although these cameras do not come with the features of standard digicams, you can rely on these keychain digital cameras to always be there when you have an unexpected photo op (like running into your favorite celebrity). Basic features include built-in memory (around 2 MB, but you can also get a model with 16 MB for around $50), a USB port and cable, a real-image viewfinder, a self-timer, and webcam capabilities. The high-end ones also got an LCD Display and can record less than a minute of digital video, while the ones you can buy for only around $10 are really only equipped with a viewfinder and a memory that can store more or less 25 pictures in VGA format (or 105 in compressed VGA).

Most cameras of this type should be compatible with Windows 98 to XP versions. There’s a wide range of features between models below $20 and ones for $50, meaning you can get some extra features without having to buy the most expensive models, so it’s best to shop around for the best deals.

Digital Camera Binoculars

September 12, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment 

With the emergence of digital camera binoculars in the market, it is becoming more and more redundant to bring binoculars partnered with a digital camera whenever people go nature tripping. Yes, these binoculars were originally thought out for birdwatchers and other kinds of nature and wildlife enthusiasts. With this gadget, you can view your subject from afar and at the same time take a picture from the same distance.

More than that though, digital camera binoculars are also ideal for families who like to go hiking, fishing, and camping. They are waterproof and have scratchproof lenses, which will make them safe for your children to pay with.

There are some models out there that already come with a recording mechanism called “Instant Replay”. This will allow you to record the 30 seconds before you hit the red button to capture images on video. Otherwise, you can go for the ones with the standard video recorder that will let you record videos up to 60 seconds long. Not bad for a 2-in-1 gadget that’s cheaper than most digital cameras.

Another reason why digital camera binoculars are so popular these days are the low prices that are now offered in the market. While most high-end models are priced from $150 to over $800, you can already get yourself a pair of these binoculars for less than $50 and have 8 full megabytes of built-in memory available. If you shop around online, you’ll find that the models with the best features aren’t necessarily the most expensive ones.
