Underwater Camera

Picture
Now we’re getting there – what a piece of kit.
Although it actually gets off to a rather inauspicious start.
Bond is not impressed, after all the first underwater picture was taken as early as 1856. In 1914 the first underwater movie was filmed. Jacques-Yves Cousteau had been busily promoting more versatile equipment since 1957.
But his wasn’t able to take rapid shot infra-red pictures in the dark. So ner.

There are obviously lots of Underwater Cameras about now. We couldn't find one that took infra red pictures, but many are cracking bits of kit without anything like that. We had a good look around and Amazon seemed to have four of the better deals.

A Kit package that includes a underwater watertight housing, good for 80m and the Deepview Nikon Coolpix S300. The kit also includes a LF300 3W Flashlight.
The camera also shoots HD video under or above water.
Designed for the XZ-2 your camera can be taken underwater up to a water pressure equivalent to a depth of 45 metres with this case. The polycarbonate construction protects the camera from water.
This kit includes a F550EXR Camera, a Fuji Premium Case, an 8GB SDHC Card  Clase 10 and a Fuji WPFXF500 Dive Housing.This camera can be taken down to depths of 40m inside the housing. 
You can gain access to all the camera functions with this drop-in camera loading system. The housing is compatible with wide angle lenses and the seal allows for a 200ft (60m) depth rating for photography.
