Underwater Digital Cameras

I recommend looking at a number of important features including lens speed or the "f-stop" rating. The faster the lens., e.g., the lower the f-stop number the better and the more light which the lens allows into the camera making for superior quality, less noise images. f2.0 is very fast and f3.9 is ok, but it will have more difficulty in lower light situations and will generally be more hard to focus in reduced light situations. Another feature of a [http://www.squidoo.com/best-waterproof-point-and-shoot-camera waterproof digital camera] would be the capability of the zoom lens and how much of the "zoom" is produced by the lens compared to a digital zoom, where a software program is producing the zooming effect. One more characteristic for taking pictures up close would be the capability to take macro photos and how close to the subject you can come with the camera and still focus. One other characteristic to think about is the capability to take video and the video processors speed, e.g., does the camera have a high speed video processor meaning it can capture over 200 frames per second (fps), or does it have a low speed video processor. A faster vidwo processor will create higher quality videos.  A careful review of each cameras features can help you determine {[http://www.squidoo.com/best-waterproof-point-and-shoot-camera which is the best point and shoot camera]|[http://www.squidoo.com/best-waterproof-point-and-shoot-camera what is the best point and shoot camera] for you.
