Some great waterproof digital camera tips will help keep your camera operating correctly and giving you clear and detailed pictures. The first tip to consider is cleaning your digital camera.

Chemicals are the number one waterproof digital camera tip. Only take the camera into depths of water that are specified by the manufacturer. Make sure the temperature rating for the camera is safe for any type of conditions you will be shooting the images. A few more waterproof digital camera tips include selecting the right camera.

The Best Waterproof Digital Camera Anywhere

Are you looking to get some great underwater shark pictures in your quest to be National Geographics next big photographer? Why not get a camera that's already waterproof without needing to spend extra money on accessories.

There are several models out there, but my favorite choice would have to be the Olympus Stylus 790SW waterproof, shock proof, dust proof, and freeze proof. The biggest difference between the two cameras, is that the older 770SW can go be used in up to 33 feet of water, whereas the newer 790SW can only be used in up to 10 feet of water. Olympus apparently decided that the demographic for the 790SW weren't big deep sea divers. Why more cameras aren't built this way I have no idea. Temperatures as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit, or -10 degrees Celsius won't damage the camera. It's a pretty trippy clip as the light streams through the semi-translucent tube and the riders pitch to and fro. Definitely a fun camera. Some slight sacrifice in image quality are completely outweighed by the fun factor under these circumstances.
