Executive Summary about Digital Underwater Camera by Jason Gluckman

Underwater photography is an area that needs special equipment, such as underwater cameras. Underwater cameras are used for photography of marine life, video, still and digital photography of the different species.

There are housings used for conventional cameras and amphibious cameras that can be used at a depth of 50 meters.

The housed cameras are placed in firm boxes, made of thick aluminum or clear polycarbonate plastic.

The most preferred amphibious camera is the Nikon camera. It is the most widely used underwater camera. Amphibious cameras are small, compact and very easy for transporting, in comparison to housed cameras. They are also called submersible compact viewfinder cameras.
