Digital Camera Fiend - A Camera Review

Underwater digital photography opens a new world–and an entirely unique set of challenges for the photographer. About.com offers five underwater camera picks, and the Pentax Optio W20, which retails at around $300, heads their list.

It isn’t a camera for professionals, and it’s not recommended to take this digital camera deeper than five feet. But it gets the job done. It’s one of the few digital cameras that doesn’t require extra underwater housing–just use it as is. It’s completely waterproof, which means it’s also great for above water activities tha could get messy.

This 7-megapixel digital camera also has a large 2.5-inch LCD display screen, blur reduction mode, and underwater video capabilties. All in all, a good buy.
