This all-weather camera is ready for anything. It's ideal for shooting outdoors in wet and snowy conditions, and even operates up to 35 feet underwater!

All of the cameras worked fine snorkeling, although I found the Konica and the Kodak Max Wet to be more difficult to use. [The Konica was a little difficult to see through the view finder with a mask on, and the Kodak Max Wet, most annoyingly had the strap and the photo button on opposite sides of the camera! A real disadvantage to a right handed person. As a result you essentially had to use two hands to take a photo, one to hold the camera and the other to depress the button. Any of these cameras will work fine for snorkeling, however the best were the Fuji and Kodak Sport. Keep in mind that all underwater photos will look a bit blue, however, snorkeling in the lagoon in Tahiti the blue was not really noticeable. Here's the part I really like, now I admit, contrary to manufacturer...

Not surprisingly, it delivers best underwater on a sunny day, but even on overcast days, it produces crisp pictures with great detail. On land, it is much less particular about lighting, and produces pictures with beautiful colour in light or shadow, or both. Since it takes such nice pictures out of the water, a first time user might want to practice with it on land. The lever action feels a lot different from the push-button action of regular throw-away cameras, and since you don't hear the click of the shutter underwater, you might be uncertain whether anything happened. A couple of test shots (without the urgency of a sea turtle swimming by or a beautiful school of fish) should increase the photographer's confidence in the camera when underwater. The big wheel that advances the film works very well; it's easy to find by touch, so getting another snap of something before it swims away isn't...

Film winded at greater depth. 2. The pictures came out clearer - not grainy and with better colors. Don't expect too much of it at depths below 8 meters since light won't be enough (I used it on a bright summer day in the red sea). Even at shallower depths colors turn blue/green without use of flash. I have taken it down to depth of 35 meters and the camera was fine, but wouldn't take pictures at depths below 20 meters. The pictures I took at shallow depth came out excellent. |
