I got this for dustproofing and underwater pool use, and so far I haven’t been disappointed. I’ve had it one week. Haven’t made prints but have inspected the photos closely: thumbs-up.

I’m going to assume for a minute that the design of the waterproof digital camera came about for logical reason and not as a security feature for travelers who are prone to dropping their cameras into glasses of beer. (Oh it happens) Drunken travelers aside, I’m stoked about all the new digital waterproof cameras that are coming out. Being an avid whitewater kayaker, I’ve always wanted a good waterproof digital camera. I suppose I could keep a regular digital camera in a dry box, but that has so many draw backs. These new waterproof cameras are a God send. I can keep one in my lifejacket and not think twice about getting it wet. Now, if only they could make them float too. These waterproof wonders will set you back a pretty penny though. They range in price from $200 – $500. It seems to me that if you are going to invest in a digital camera for your travels, why not make it a waterproof one? This way you can take it to the beach, it will be safe in the rain, and prolonged immersion in glasses of beer won’t hurt it either. Do you own a waterproof digital camera? What do you think about it?

Awesome review even though I am reading it after I bought the Panasonic Lumix TS1 AKA Lumix FT1. I did a lot of research on this camera prior to buying it and had a few doubts that it wouldn't be as good as some big name camera sites said it would be, but after a recent trip to Madrid and using the camera and HD video recording function at a theme park, and then seeing the results playing the HD video back on my HDTV or even online on Youtube or Facebook the picture and video quality is very impressive indeed. The multiple camera options for every time of scenario is what makes the camera special as well. I can't fault it for a minute. I have recorded a few videos with the camera. If you do a search for "Tarantula Rollercoaster" by lookatbowen on Youtube you can make up your own mind. I have also linked to my Madrid photo gallery below.
