Waterproof Digital Cameras

Designed to house the Canon EOS 550D, also known as Rebel T2i, the Nimar Underwater Camera Housing is fitted with buttons, knobs, and levers corresponding to the controls of the camera for a full access to its functions. It is also configured to provide an unimpeded view of the camera viewfinder and LCD screen for ease of photo composition.

The EOS 550D is an 18-megapixel camera that captures both stills and videos. With a little help from the Nimar housing, it can take photos of colorful seaweeds in their own habitat and videos of swimming manta rays flapping their wings.

The underwater housing is made of marine grade clear polycarbonate that provides you with an unhampered view of the camera inside. You can even see the O-ring seal sandwiched between the housing’s main body and its lid. The polycarbonate casing assures excellent strength and solidity. Indeed, it can handle water pressure even at 200 feet, or 60 meters, deep. Its near-neutral buoyancy makes it easy to handle while underwater.

With four stainless steel hooks locking the lid to the main body, the odds of an accidental opening underwater is virtually eliminated. In the event that the lid is not properly secured and water seepage occurs, a blinking light and audio alarm is activated to warn you.

Camera installation is a breeze. At its front end is a bayonet-mount lens port system allowing you to change ports to accommodate different types of lenses. Since it uses a reliable seal and tight mounting, you can be sure the system is watertight. With this kind of design, you do not need to remove the camera from the housing to change from fish eye to zoom lenses.

The Nimar Underwater Camera Housing includes left and right handles for ease of maneuvering. They are sufficiently close to the main body to allow you to access all camera controls without letting go.

Equipped with standard Nikonos bulkhead, you can connect strobes to your Canon 550D for shooting in the dark depths of the oceans.

Dimensions of the Nimar for Canon 550D are approximately 9″ W x 7″ H x 9″ D. Without the handles, it weighs almost 7 pounds.

Featuring a hybrid design wherein the clear polycarbonate waterproof housing incorporates the camera’s controls, the makers of the Intova SnapSights SS-1000 Waterproof Video Camera are able to lower their production costs without unduly sacrificing the quality of its still photos and videos.

The camera is equipped with a CMOS sensor with an effective resolution of 1.3 megapixels. Its lens is a fixed focus F/3.1, with a focal length of 6.5 mm. With a digital zoom of 4x, you can crop your photos turning them into close-up portraits. In video mode, the camera can record images up to 30fps@ QVGA and 20fps@ VGA.

You can compose your photos using the 1.4-inch LCD screen, and store them in the camera’s 16 MB internal memory, which can hold up to 90 stills. If this is insufficient, you can insert a microSD card of up to 2 GB into its designated slot.

The Intova SnapSights does not only take photos and videos on dry land. With its polycarbonate housing, you can use it to record your kids’ fun moments at the pool, or your more adventurous forays into the deep blue sea, swimming with sharks and manta rays. It can go down to 100 feet deep and still continue snapping away at the sights under the waves. Its dual o-ring design and Cam-Lock sealing system effectively seals off even the slightest drop of water.

Aside from being waterproof, the camera is also shock resistant, thanks to a shock absorbent liner. You can drop the camera from moderately high levels and not worry about breaking it.

The Intova SnapSights SS-1000 Waterproof Video Camera has a USB port to make connecting with your PC or laptop quick and easy when uploading your photos and YouTube-ready videos.

The Nikon D90 is an excellent camera that features a 12.3-megapixel CMOS sensor. This, along with Nikon’s EXPEED technology, guarantees clear and distinct photos. It is also the first DSLR that incorporates an HD movie mode recording at 720p, complete with sound. When mated with the Subal ND90 Waterproof Housing, the world of the D90 breaks its natural limits to include the vast expanse underneath the waves.

The Nikon D90 fits inside the Subal ND90 like a hand fits a glove. It rests on a saddle which locks the camera firmly into place, allowing the buttons and dials of the camera to perfectly align and be in contact with those of the casing. This is important because it is through the casing’s buttons and dials that the camera is controlled.

All controls on the Subal ND90 are ergonomically mounted to ensure a comfortable and convenient operation, even when wearing gloves during a dive. There are threaded holes on the top shoe for the mounting and aiming of strobe lights, as well as on the bottom of the case for trays. In order to ensure that the 3-inch LCD monitor at the back of the camera remains visible at all times, it is provided with generous shading. A viewfinder optic is also included for full frame viewing.

The body of the ND90 is machined from a block of an aluminum alloy that is resistant to the corroding effects of seawater. As a further insurance, it is hard coated and anodized. The non-aluminum components of the casing are either made of stainless steel or high-quality plastics.

Two Subal QuickLock catches seal the casing. These are designed in a way that the door cannot be locked unless the O-ring seal is properly positioned within its groove. They also include a mechanism that prevents the door from accidental opening.

When sealed, the Subal ND90 Waterproof Housing can take your Nikon D90 down to 70 meters below the water surface to capture still photos and videos of manta rays, blue whales, or perhaps even sharks.

The Canon EOS Rebel XS is a fine camera with 10.5 megapixel CMOS sensor. It comes with an 18 – 55 mm zoom lens, or the 35 mm format equivalent of 29 – 88 mm, making it versatile enough for panoramic as well as close up shots. It incorporates plenty of features intended to reduce noise as well as to correct image brightness and contrast to achieve proper exposure even with scenes lighted from the back.

The Nimar 3D Package Underwater Camera Housing for Canon EOS Rebel XS is crafted to expand the coverage of the said camera. Instead of being limited on land, the Nimar takes the Rebel underwater to depths of up to 200 feet. At this depth, you can swim with manta rays and even sharks and capture them in pictures. Or you can record colorful seaweeds swaying to the currents of the water.

Made of marine grade polycarbonate, the Nimar is a clear and tough housing providing you with a full view of the Canon EOS inside. Buttons and levers all over the housing provide full access to those of the camera allowing you to use all of its functions while underwater. It comes with a port that is specifically designed to accommodate the standard lens of the camera.

All openings and joints, including the buttons and levers, are equipped with rubber seals designed to keep water out. However, in the unlikely event of a leak, no matter how small, an alarm mechanism emits an audio signal and activates a blinking light to warn you.

You can compose your photos using either the camera’s LCD monitor or viewfinder. The monitor is clearly visible through the casing as it is totally unobstructed. The viewfinder, on the other hand, is enlarged so that you can clearly see through it even with your diving mask.

A standard Nikonos bulkhead is included for the connection of strobe lights. Mounting brackets for strobes as well as the left and right handles come with the unit.

Boasting of an 18-megapixel CMOS sensor, the Canon EOS Rebel T2i, also known as the 550D, captures high-resolution photos with clear and distinct images. These photos are perfectly suited for making large prints as the loss of detail is barely noticeable.

Although classified as an entry level DSLR, the Rebel T2i has plenty of features that even pros appreciate. It has a high ISO range at 100 – 6400, which makes it suitable for shooting in low light conditions. It has both shutter and aperture priority settings as well as a full manual mode. Apart from taking stills, it can also capture video.

When coupled with the Sea & Sea RDX-550D Underwater Camera Housing, the world of the Canon EOS Rebel T2i is greatly expanded. You can take photos and videos not only on dry land but also in the deep sea.

Like the camera it is designed to protect, the RDX-550D is also designed for beginners. Its operation, controls, and connections are simplified making it a breeze to use. It is constructed out of durable polycarbonate that protects the camera not only from water but also from light to moderate impacts.

The housing includes a camera quick shoe that makes it is easy to slide the camera into position. The fit is snug which assures proper alignment of the camera controls with those on the housing. This alignment is necessary to be able to access all camera functions using the buttons on the housing.

Connecting external strobes is likewise uncomplicated. The housing has two fiber-optic cable sockets to which cables from the strobes can be attached. If light from the camera’s built-in flash is detected by a mechanism behind the sockets, it sends a signal to the strobes to fire.

The RDX-550D underwater camera housing has a depth rating of 200 feet, where you can quite possibly take still and video images of sharks and manta rays.

Expeed Image Processing. 12.3-megapixel DX-format CMOS Image Sensor. D-Movie HD Video. These are just a few of the features of the Nikon D300s that make it an outstanding DSLR camera. With these, you are assured of high resolution still photos suited for 8 x 11 prints, as well as excellent 720p HD videos. It boasts of a low noise ISO sensitivity starting at 200 and reaching up to 3,200. This enables the camera to take pictures even in low light situations, making it suitable for underwater photography. The Nikon 300s, however, is not waterproof. To be useful for shooting beneath the waves, it needs a sealed housing like the SeaCam Silver Nikon 300s Digital Housing.

The SeaCam is ergonomically designed, assuring a comfortable grip and easy operation. The handles are mounted close enough to the body that you need not remove your hands from them when operating the camera. At the same time, they are not too close to hamper your hands’ movements even when wearing gloves.

All camera controls are accessible via the various controls levers, push buttons, and turning knobs that are strategically positioned on the housing giving you complete freedom to compose your pictures.

The casing is made out of high-quality anodized aluminum, stainless steel, and premium synthetics. These are extremely resistant to corrosion even after prolonged exposure to saltwater. All control mountings are protected by double O-rings of superior quality. The main O-ring is 3.5 mm thick and it rests on a machined groove to guarantee 100% sealing. Spring-mounted quick-clasps assure a tight closure that effectively shuts out all water even at great depths.

The SeaCam Silver Nikon D300s Digital Housing features an exchangeable viewfinder system. You can choose from four different types –Optics, Pro G, S 45 Sportsfinder, and S 180 Sportsfinder. Optics magnifies viewfinder image up to three times. Pro G is the compact version that does not protrude out of the casing. S 45 offers a 45° view. The S 180 has a straight view with the viewfinder image enlarged three times.

Boasting of 14.5 effective megapixels the Nikon Coolpix S710 can capture clear and distinct images that can be printed on 16 x 20 photo papers without any loss of detail. Its Nikkor 3.6x optical zoom lens can get you up close and personal with your subjects even when standing away from them. At the same time, it also allows you to shoot panoramic landscapes and sceneries.

Helping you compose your photos is a 3.0-inch LCD screen that displays your subjects in high resolution. It is coated with high-contrast and anti-reflection materials, which keep images clear even under direct sunlight.

The Coolpix S710 utilizes Nikon’s EXPEED image processing technology. This guarantees excellent color. Coupled with its optical VR image stabilization that prevents blurring, EXPEED can only give you remarkably sharp photos.

The camera has 16 scene modes. These include portrait, landscape, sports, beach, and snow. If you use your Coolpix while frolicking on the beach or playing on snow, however, you may need additional protection for it. You don’t want water ruining your camera and, worse, your photographs and memories.

The Fantasea FX-710 is the perfect protective shield for your Coolpix. It does not only keep out splashes and sprinkles of water, but will even take the camera for a dive to depths of 60 meters.

The depth rating is possible because of the strong construction of the clear housing. All camera controls are accessible through brass-coated command buttons. Double o-ring seals keep water from seeping into the housing through the buttons. The main seal, on the other hand, is a radial o-ring.

In front of the camera flash is a diffuser to avoid harsh lighting, while an anti-glare hood is installed above the LCD screen. As an option, you can have a port ring with a 46 mm thread for mounting different filters and accessory lenses.

When paired together the Nikon Coolpix S710 and Fantasea FS-710 can open new venues and vistas where you can shoot spectacular photos.

The Nikon D700 is one of the company’s top DSLRs. It boasts of a 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor assuring you of clearly defined and rich photos. An outstanding feature is the high ISO sensitivity ranging from 200 to 6,000 making it capable of capturing excellent images even in extremely low-light conditions. Constructed with a rugged magnesium alloy and provided with dust and moisture protection, the camera can absorb a certain amount of punishment without damaging its internal components.

Owing to its tough housing, the Nikon D700 can be taken beyond the usual milieu for expensive DSLRs. It can be taken for a swim and a dive down to 200 feet beneath the waves provided it is encased in a suitable underwater housing, such as the Sea & Sea MDX-PRO D700.

This Sea & Sea model is dedicated to the Nikon D700 and is constructed out of an aluminum body that is CNC machined from a solid block precisely cutting and polishing its most minute detail. As it is made of aluminum, it is both light and durable. An anodized coating is applied to protect it from rust, corrosion, and abrasion.

Sliding the camera inside the housing is facilitated by a quick shoe. A port lock device keeps the port closed, while locking latches secure the opening of the housing preventing it from accidental opening. As a further precautionary measure, the housing is equipped with a leakage sensor that alerts you to the slightest seepage of water.

Although the camera is capable of shooting in low light conditions, the housing comes with two type-N strobe connectors. The external flash can be triggered by the camera’s built-in flash. The main and sub-command dials are strategically positioned on the housing allowing you to operate them without letting go of the handgrips.

The 7.5 megapixel Olympus Evolt E-330 differs dramatically from most other DSLR cameras. It is the first to offer live preview. Conventional DSLR design makes live preview impossible because the mirror deflecting incoming light to the viewfinder blocks its path to the sensor. Olympus tweaked this design and came up with a solution. With this, it is able to offer an LCD screen, installed in the Evolt E-330, that can be flipped out to capture shots from awkward angles, expanding your options.

Said options are further expanded by the Olympus PT-E02 Underwater Housing that is specifically designed for the Evolt E-330. Made of clear and transparent polycarbonate, it is tough enough to withstand water pressures up to a depth of close to 200 feet. With the help of a silicone O-ring main seal, safety locks, and stainless steel as well as nickel-plated brass hardware, water is effectively excluded from the casing.

The LCD display of the Evolt E-330 is clearly visible through the polycarbonate allowing you to properly compose your underwater photos of sharks, manta rays, blue whales, or marine plants. Camera settings are also visible and they can be adjusted through buttons and knobs conveniently mounted on the housing.

In front of the camera lens is a clear fluorite (FL) glass. This protects the lens while at the same time allowing the entry of light rays into the lens without distorting them. A flash diffuser is integrated with the housing allowing you to use the camera’s built-in flash in low-light conditions.

The PT-E02 housing is compatible with the optical glass flat ports PPO-E01 designed for the 14-45 mm zoom, and the 35 mm macro lenses; PPO-E02 for the 14 – 54 mm and 11 – 22 mm zoom lenses; and the PPO-E03 for the 50 mm macro lens. It can also be coupled with the PFL-E01 Flash Housing that can accommodate Olympus’ FL-36 Flash.

For amateur photographers who feel they have exhausted everything compact digital cameras have to offer and want to move up to the world of SLRs, the Nikon D40 is an excellent camera.

The entry-level camera features a 6.1-megapixel CCD DX-format imaging sensor guaranteeing sharp images and vivid colors. Controls are intuitive providing a smooth transition from the simplicity of compact digital cameras to the complexity of DSLRs. Even its size and weight are perfectly suited to this transition. It is Nikon’s smallest DSLR and weighs only about 16 oz.

A 2.5-inch LCD color monitor can be used for picture composition if you do not wish, or if it inconvenient, to use the viewfinder, and for playing back captured images. An in-camera image-editing feature allows you to edit your photos without need of a computer so that you can directly connect the camera to a printer.

The Aquatica D40 underwater housing was built specifically for the Nikon D40. It is constructed out of anodized aluminum making it light yet durable, able to resist corrosion even with constant exposure to seawater. It is also resistant to warping and twisting even under tremendous water pressure up to a depth of 61 m.

The housing features a bayonet port system that accepts all of Aquatica’s available ports, gears, and extensions providing you with a wide range of shooting options and maximizing your creativity. In addition to a full access of all camera controls through the housing, it also has a quick-response zoom control.

The Aquatica D40 Underwater Housing has dimensions of 154 x 176 x 127.
