Here are some more information for Camera Waterproof:

Underwater photography has been greatly impacted and improved because of the digital revolution. Being able to see and edit your shots before you leave the water is an incredible advantage. Back in the stone age of film cameras you had to wait until your trip was over and your film was processed before you even knew you had made a mistake that could have cost you some or all of your photos. It is not difficult to see that digital imaging has greatly improved underwater photography, and all photography for that matter. Another blessing of underwater digital cameras is that while technology is constantly improving, prices are constantly dropping.

There are two basic groups or types of digital cameras: SLR which stands for "single lens reflex" and "digi-cam" which just means digital camera, and refers to the smaller point and shoot models. SLR cameras resemble their film type predecessors. They are about the same size and have similar functionality. SLR cameras have advanced features, will allow you to change lenses, and are faster than the point and shoot digital cameras. Digi-cam, while easy to use, has shortcomings when compared to an SLR underwater camera.

Although SLRs are more capable than digi-cams, they require more photographic expertise and are more expensive. A point and shoot underwater camera is more affordable and much more user friendly to the hobbyist and everyday user.

Underwater camera manufacturers are now offering affordable housings for their cameras. Although housings can cost up to $5000, there are some good lower end options. Olympus offers a very affordable underwater digital camera and an inexpensive housing to fit it. The Olympus FE-360 is a great inexpensive pocket camera, and when combined with the Olympus PT-044 housing is an exceptional combination for the price.

Choosing An Underwater Camera

If you enjoy underwater sports such as snorkeling or scuba diving, you're going to want to have an underwater camera so that you can take pictures. Fortunately, underwater cameras are becoming more affordable, with many types and models from which to choose. So, you should be able to find a camera which will not only suit your photography needs, but also your budget.

If you are just starting out, and haven't given too much thought yet as to what type of underwater camera you might ultimately decide to choose, a disposable underwater camera can often be a good first choice. Of course, the quality of the photos that you take with a disposable camera is not going to be as good as you would get with a higher quality camera, but it can give you an idea of the types of photos that you want to take, before you invest in a better camera. They can vary in price, but the average is around $11 for a camera with 25 exposures.

If you are already experienced in photography, you might want to skip the disposable camera and buy a good waterproof camera instead. These cameras were designed specifically for underwater use, with rubber gaskets to keep everything waterproof. They are also easy to hold onto underwater, and usually range in price from around $200, up to over $1,000 for a very high-end sophisticated model with many features. There are also some newer models of digital cameras that, while they look like a normal camera, are great to use as an underwater camera. These are generally affordable in price, averaging around $300 for a camera with an adequate number of features for underwater use.

If you already have a camera that you are comfortable using, you might prefer to just purchase a plastic waterproof casing for it that will make your existing camera waterproof. Unfortunately, these plastic waterproof housings are often quite expensive, and need to be purchased for a specific model of camera, which means you can't use the same housing for a different camera, if you change models. For the price, many people feel that underwater cameras are a better buy than a plastic casing for an existing camera.

When shopping for underwater cameras, you will need to decide whether you want a film camera or a digital camera. Digital cameras are becoming much more popular as an underwater camera, just as they are for other types of uses. You will also want to pay close attention to the features the camera has in regards to exposure. Some less expensive cameras only offer automatic exposure, but you might prefer to be able to manually control the exposure. You'll want to choose an underwater camera with a good viewfinder or large LCD screen. Remember, things often move fast underwater, and you're going to be wearing equipment that restricts your vision. You'll also want to make sure that the camera will operate at the depth that you normally dive. Finally, because of the fact that underwater cameras often take a lot of abuse, make sure you purchase one that has a good warranty.

How can I sell a waterproof disposable camera?

I work at CVS/Pharmacy as a Photo Lab Supervisor and with summer coming up, I want to upsell waterproof cameras. The only idea I have right now, is putting it inside a fishbowl with an actual fish. Maybe the fish could say something, I don't know. Ideas please

I have no display ideas but make sure you check the camera specs. I saw one a few days ago which said not to keep it under water for longer than 2 hours. Make sure yours cantake being submerged the entire day.

Also are you planning to make sure it stays fully charged? What if a customer asks to see it work either under water or out of water after being submerged?

Wouldnt help sales if you took it out to demonstrate only to find it had been submerged too long or the batteries had died. Customers may think dead batteries is just an excuse.
