The Water and Your Camera

Researching on the depth that cameras can go in water bodies is important when buying water proof cameras. Most strong cameras can even resist even pressures that human body might not be able to resist. This is very important depending on how far you plan to take it.

The weaker types of cameras are called water resistant cameras. They are not suitable at being submerged in water for a long time. Some of them cannot also contain some quantity of water. They are normally useful to backpackers and hikers who may only come into contact with water when it rains.

The 9ft and 10ft depth cameras are best for situations where you need to put the camera into water to take a picture.

Most water bodies around us do not have depths of 9ft and 10ft but it is always better to have cameras with this depth as they can fall into the water. Having a normal water resistant camera might be a problem as they can get damaged if they fall into water. The Fuji Finepix XP10 has a depth of 9ft and is good for usage at home.

The 9ft camera won't be good however if you plan going further. A camera with a range of 10-30ft will be appropriate for this. These cameras cover snorkelling and many scuba excursions.

No matter what kind of camera you want, you will find that almost all the popular camera makers like Panasonic, Canon and Olympus make cameras for different depths. They have also made quite strong cameras that can withstand falls and freezing.

Sealife makes cameras that can withstand more pressure levels. These cameras can range to as far as 200ft. this is good for serious surfers. They however come at higher cost at as much as $500.

Always determine why you need a camera and buy one to suit your needs.
