A Waterproof Kids Camera - Which is The Best?

While undoubtedly these digital waterproof shockproof camera models would cost more than the toy waterproof kids camera versions, there is also the consideration of why carry two cameras when one can do the job? If a family needs a regular compact camera, they may as well buy a rugged camera. This way, they save on not spending extra on a less tough toy waterproof kids camera.
These "proper adult" cameras are in fact tougher and are much better specified than the toy waterproof kids camera models. These features include:

• Waterproof: These cameras are not just spills and damp proof, these can be taken underwater with some being able to withstand depths of 10m/33ft


• Shockproof: Some can even be dropped from heights of 2m / 6.6ft and still work


• Dustproof: Most are specially coated so that no dust or sand can penetrate the body


• Freeze proof: Some can operate in sub-zero conditions of -10C/14F making these cameras ideal for the winter including skiing or just snowman building


• Crushproof: The Olympus Tough Stylus 8000 is the only camera which can withstand up to 220lbf/100kgf force, so kids can jump on it, sit on it or put things on it


• Greater resolution: These cameras have a minimum of 10MP


• Focal length: Some have up to 5X optical zoom and some offer a 28mm wide angle lens


• Lightweight: The weights of these vary from 105g to 182g and is much lighter than the toy waterproof kids camera versions. For example, the Fisher Price Kid Tough Digital Camera weighs in at a hefty 1179g by comparison
