The Best Waterproof Compact Camera

Posted by Ruth Miller on Wed 29th August 2007 at 06:00 AM, Filed in Travel NewsTravel Gadgets

I was asked the other day which compact camera would be the best for some simple underwater photography. “Nothing fancy” I was told!

Well there are some truly excellent waterproof cameras on the market these days - but the best one I’ve come across is the Vivitar ViviCam 6200W. This delightful little camera has just about everything you need, all contained within a protective rubber casing.

The spec is as follows:

• 6.0 Megapixels

• Rubber Armored

• Waterproof – 30 ft

• 2.0” Color LTPS

• 16 MB Built-in Memory

• Supports SD Cards to 1 GB

• PictBridge Support

• Flash - Built-in Multi Mode, Auto / On / Off

Retails for a very reasonable £130 ($260).

Incidentally, forget the disposable, waterproof cameras you see in supermarkets - their absolute rubbish!!
