While the idea of having a waterproof digital camera sounds cool, but it is also great equipment when you want to capture the wonderful moments of life.
You need not change or develop rolls of films anymore.
You can easily have the photos printed by connecting from a computer.
Also you don't have to concern about your camera getting wet while taking pictures in a water park.
All things said, there are some aspects of the waterproof digital camera which has to be given some thought before buying them.
The zoom lenses: When you have a higher zoom on the optical side, you have a better quality of picture.
While we compare that to a digital zoom lens, you would find the optical ones to be better.
Number of pixels: The number of pixels has a huge influence on how good the picture looks.
When you take pictures with a waterproof digital camera, you can take it in 10 MP whereas with standard cameras it is only 6-8 mega pixels which is available.
So when you take a picture with this camera, it would look good even when zoomed twice its actual size.
Still image: There is the option to still any image so that they are not affected by the external movements like your hand.
Not complicated: Using a waterproof digital camera is not a complicated task at all.
It is easy to set up unlike other standard cameras and you can click pictures away.
The battery: Having a camera which requires frequent charging could be a cumbersome thing to do.
There is just nothing to interrupt you when you are clicking photos...
Resistance to water: You will have to check this feature when you are buying a camera.
Knowing the waterproof's depth will decide on where you want to use it.
