D10 Canon Review - a Great Digital Waterproof Shockproof Camera

Canon has done a great job with its debut in building cameras for adventurous users. The Canon Waterproof D10 is waterproof to 10m / 33ft and can survive drops up to 1.2m / 4 ft. In addition, the Canon D10 digital waterproof shockproof camera is also dustproof and freeze proof and can withstand temperatures as low as -10C/ 14F. Unlike other digital waterproof shockproof camera makes, the Canon waterproof D10 has a distinctive, fun design that makes it stand apart from the others. It is more chubby, with a lens that protrudes (though protected by hardened glass and frame). However, its shape makes it comfortable to hold and easy to grip. The button layout is also simple and intuitive to use. For those looking for a rugged digital waterproof shockproof camera that is also freeze proof, the Canon Waterproof D10 is definitely worth considering. Its main competitors include the waterproof Pentax digital camera Optio W80 and the Olympus Tough Stylus models 8000, 6000 and 6010.

Key Features of the Canon Waterproof D10


  • Waterproof down to depths of 10m / 33ft

  • Shockproof from falls of up to 1.2m / 4 ft

  • Freeze proof withstanding temperatures as low as -10C / 14F

  • Unique accessories such as customized straps and interchangeable faceplates

  • Its extra bright LCD screen can be viewed even in direct sunlight

  • A perspex shield protects the screen against scuffs and fingerprints, while the hardened lens cover protects from scratches

  • Other features include 3x optical lens, 2.5" LCD, 12.1MP sensor

Take it Anywhere and a Tough Waterproof Kids Camera too?

The Canon waterproof D10 can endure exposure to rain, humidity, snow and dust, together with being tough against knocks to its body. This makes it a great outdoor adventure camera as it can take pictures in conditions where many other cameras can't. Furthermore, its ability to be submerged in up to 10m / 33 ft of water means it can be taken to the sea and not just swimming pools or shallower waters.

The Canon waterproof D10 camera is well suited for double duty as a rugged and everyday pocket camera. Its rugged design also makes it a tough waterproof kids camera too. Parents don't have to worry about knocks, the camera getting wet or dropped in the snow. Children love taking photos and the typical tough waterproof kids camera models available are relatively big and bulky (eg. Fisher Price and VTech). Why buy a separate waterproof kids camera when you can use the same one?
