Tips For Buying The Best Digital Underwater Cameras
Posted on Oct 28, 2008 under digital underwater cameras | No CommentIt seems that every month, if not every week, different manufacturers are coming up with the latest digital underwater cameras to entice potential clients. And it’s just not working for us!
We always want to have the best, so armed with our life savings and a few credit cards, we buy the “best” camera. But then again, that doesn’t last too long, after two months or so, there’s another “best camera.”
And so it confuses us. What makes digital underwater cameras, the best digital underwater cameras?
Well, there are certain factors to consider when looking for the “best digital underwater camera” for us.
MEGAPIXELS. One of the most important features of digital camera to make it into the best digital camera category is its mega pixel property. The higher the mega pixels the better the actual photograph will come out. A mega pixel is equivalent to one million pixels. The resolution of your image is based upon the mega pixel property of your camera. This means that as you enlarge the picture, you would get more detail and less blurry colors.
LCD SIZE. The best digital camera will always have a large LCD to help you frame your subject without having to squint to the viewfinder. This is also helpful when reviewing your images, some cameras enable touch up and editing features with its LCD. A 1.5-inch display is average, a 2-inch LCD display is good, but the best LCD size would be 2.5 inches or higher.
ZOOM. Most digital cameras have both digital and optical zoom. A higher optical zoom is always better than a higher digital zoom. Digital cameras are usually furnished with optical of between 3x to 10x. The better the optical zoom, the higher it climbs up to the best digital camera category.
MEMORY CARD. Always make sure that your memory card is the right one for your digital camera. There are different types of memory card like the xD, SD, Flash card and the likes. And these types of memory cards go with certain types of digital cameras. Of course memory storage is also up there in choosing the best digital cameras. Choose the size of memory that you need, if you’re a photo junkie, you might need more than 32MB. Memory cards can go up to 1G.
Also, the best camera is the one that will best fit you and your lifestyle. So be careful with your choosing and don’t just pick the most expensive one on the market because it’s supposed to be best. If it’s for professional use, sure go ahead and buy the most expensive one. But if it’s for family activities at the beach you don’t need the most expensive camera to make good pictures. And remember digital underwater cameras can also be used on land, so don’t go and by two different cameras now. 
PS. Make sure it’s a underwater camera when you buy it or you will literally throw money in the ocean!

March 2008 - Cozumel Underwater Photography Workshop at Scuba Club Cozumel. Lots of underwater images from Cozumel and fun Cozumel people! OK, if you haven’t figured it out, I have to mention Cozumel, Cozumel, Cozumel many times to get past those stupid catamaran videos. Come on… scuba divers don’t like that crap anyway and that’s NOT what Cozumel is about.
