By Patrik G. Moore

Cameras had reached new horizons and the depth in the field of photography. It has evolved tremendously catering to consumer demands and desires. As of today, the cameras not only take photos but also videos with varying depth, resolution and image size. To our great surprise, there are already underwater cameras that are perfect for water memories. This has completely revolutionized the technology and by far extends its usual limitations.

Since the initial release of a company to unveil their own underwater camera, numerous camera giants and counterparts made their own mark. For each year countless underwater cameras had been added, changed or improved making a new brand name for each. In fact if you would Google a specific camera search particularly the waterproof ones, you will be outputted with over a million of hits and hundreds of brands. With this, I came up to solve any consumer dilemma and make your choosing by far easier. Let me give you the top three underwater cameras and what they can do and what they have.

First on our list would be the SeaLife DC1000. This brand has carved its niche in underwater photography and since then has been setting high standards specifically dedicated to water-based gadgets. Its magic in this latest installment of their wide array of camera is generating vibrant colors irregardless of water origin. Some specifications of this camera includes its sharp 10-megapixel, high-resolution images, a large 2.7"LCD screen, up to 200 feet deep, optical and 5X digital zoom, 4 UW color correction settings perfect for shallow and deep waters, the automatic mode for easy exposure settings, snorkel mode, user-friendly buttons and options coupled with land and sea modes. You can even buy additional accessories to enhance your photography experience.

The second underwater camera that I would suggest is the Canon Powershot D10. This is the first waterproof camera under the said giant brand. It has 12.1 megapixels and can accommodate up to 10 meters in water depth. In addition, it is still resistance to shock and freezing up to-10oC. It allows up to 3X optical zoom, intelligent auto mode with scene detection, image stabilization, motion and face detection with auto-timer and red-eye correction. In addition, it allows a range of shooting modes and underwater scenes.

Third on our list, and certainly not the last is the Olympus Stylus TOUGH-8000. This contains 12-megapixel with 3.6X wide zoom lenses. The top lens starts in 28mm and ends at 102mm. This line of camera is shockproof to 2m, waterproof to 10m, crushproof up to 100kg in weight and freeze proof until -10oC. Other specifications included are its wonderful TAP control menu for convenience, face detection, intelligent auto mode that adjusts settings, focus and exposure, air and pressure information of the water that can be easily seen on the camera's screen, LED illuminator for lighting and some macro and landscape movie and sound recording.

These underwater cameras are perhaps the best there is today, according to their specifications and quality of underwater images. So if you happened to seek an underwater camera, it would be better to check on these firsts in your local retail stores and I am sure this suits what you want and your budget too.
