Canon Waterproof Camera – What You See Ain’t What You Get

Given a variety of underwater camera choices, how do you decide which one should you get?

Canon joined the bandwagon when it first launched its underwater digital camera during the early quarter of the year. Quite similar to the claims of Olympus waterproof shooters, the one from Canon claims to be waterproof up to 10 meters, shockproof even when dropped from a height of 1.22 meters, freeze proof from up to -10 degrees and dustproof. It has a 2.5” LCD screen, 12.1 MP sensor, and 2x optical zoom.

So what does it got that others do not have? The brand’s established reputation perhaps guarantee the quality of the photos produced. A good range of shooting modes and special scene modes are also present. It works well with light diving and heavy snorkel and appears to be the best underwater camera without a waterproof housing. It seems that it is has the PowerShot range feature of exceptional image quality and user-friendliness.

The incredible resolution can resize images without affecting image detail. The Face Detection Technology now includes Blink Detection to avoid eyes-closed photos. Canon’s i-Contrast adjusts lighting according to what is necessary. It is equipped with the DIGIC4 mechanism for faster response and has the Motion Detection Technology to combat blur and produce only sharp and clear photos.

Indeed, what you see on the outside won’t directly tell you what it can do. More than its oddly-shaped carefree exterior, it has serious features to show off. Canon is the first to modify the Automatic mode and equipped their cameras with a new smart system. The leading camera manufacturer uses comprehensive and intelligent Auto modes that deliver extreme ease of use. The brand assures users the best image quality even in challenging shooting conditions.

Aside from the SD and MMC memory card supports, Canon’s waterproof camera can support MMCplus and HC MMCplus card formats. The usual self-timer, continuous shooting feature, flash, and white balance are of course present.
