There are a surprising number of great inexpensive underwater cameras out there for under $100. Obviously when paying less than $100 for a digital photographic device, you are not expecting the world, just a rugged little watertight camera that takes pretty good pictures.

I have not included any of these today.

Amazon Price: $119.99 (as of 06/02/2012)![]()
They are great photographic choice for any age. On of the downsides and nearly all these inexpensive waterproof digital cameras have it, is the digital viewfinder is hard to see in bright sunlight. With these usually being used on holiday or cruises or for water sports, usually sunshine is a factor in a great day too.
The Kodak underwater camera is waterproof up to 10 ft underwater. The 2.6 in. display & 12 megapixels mean great quality HD pictures.
Also films video underwater with sound and has easy upload to e-mail, and other social networking sites

Waterproof down to 10 feet, the 12 Mega Pixel Resolution and 5 Mega Pixel CMOS Sensor; with 8x Digital Zoom mean vivid great quality clear pics even in low light conditions which can be common underwater. The digital screen display size is a fairly common 2.4 inches.
Earlier models had poor reviews but it look like this new model is the one to get!
WP5300 Waterproof 12MP Digital Video Recorder/Camera
Digital Video Recorder/Camera
NEW WP5300 Black Waterproof 12MP Digital Video Recorder/Camera
Amazon Price: (as of 06/02/2012)![]()
Has a 2560x1920 CMOS Sensor and 8x Digital zoom, 2.5 inch screen are standard. The compact size, cheap price and bright colours are cited as being pluses. Images are OK, may not be good enough for some people. Don't get your hopes too high, but for $50 you can certainly do much worse.

- I know, especially at this time of year. I leave near the Bruce Peninsula here in Ontario which is known for its deep diving off the Niagara Escarpment but it's darn cold compared to tropical waters, partly because the water is so deep too.
Thanks for dropping in and liking and blessing my lens on Valentines! Happy Valentines day!

- Back in the day I was NAUI and PADI certified. I owned an acrylic housing for my Instamatic (film) camera. It was cutting edge at the time and I'm certain the housing alone was over a $100; the camera, probably an additional $25. We've come a long way since then. Great idea for a lens.
