Default funny fact

I have tried to take various underwater pictures, who never turned out to be what they were suppose because of the camera"s!
For the funny fact, the cam who came out with the better pictures was my 5 year old's kodak play camera, a very big thing they released a few years ago and who was a commercial success!!

Is it a film camera?
Film cameras were always better than digital, just that you can't go back when the shot was wrong

I suppose you have already tested the housing before you enter the water with a camera in it.
The next thing is that, are you using digital or film?

I suppose you must check the focus of the camera after putting on the shielding before going off for diving. Many a times, the shielding changes the camera focus unless those cameras a dedicatedly made for deep waters.

Yeah, i would assume that if you wanted to go digital you would need an expensive camera. I still use those kodak underwater cameras also. They are getting hard to find though, anyone know a good place to find them?

does anyone have a solution that is not too costly? Something that turns out good photo's. Anyone have any examples of things they can post?

You surely do not want to miss awesome shots under water. So I suggest before you dive, check the outcome of your water based digital camera by trying a sample take in a swallow water. It is always good to have a back up camera in tow.

Do you have a camera that you use that works well?

I have been looking at a few that I have been interested in purchasing.
