What it can do
It can do everything what point-and-shoot camera can do. And there are something that point-and-shoot cameras cannot do but waterproof cameras can.
Water Activities - It can use as underwater digital camera, it can submerge up to 40 feet underwater (some models). This way you can take it to beach and enjoy your water activities, such as Fishing, Paddling, Canoeing, Kayaking, Boating, Surfing, Snorkeling, Scuba Diving or even Swimming in the pool! More, the latest models offer more functions to easily create superior quality pictures.
Extreme Activities - For those who adore adventure challenges, waterproof digital camera is your ideal gear. With a variety of features such as waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof, weatherproof, dustproof and crushproof abilities that allow you to still photographs and record video of all kinds of tough travel such as Camping, Hiking, Climbing, Caving, Mountain Biking, Skiing or even Snowboarding.
Value - After a lot of waterproof camera reviews, I found that it is a good choice to save more money instead of buying waterproof case or housing to protect your compact camera from your excitement activities. Pay less but get more features and wider range of use with waterproof camera.
