Latest Rugged & Waterproof Digital Camera
At PMA in Las Vegas this week, the latest in waterproof cameras that can take a beating are on display.
The Olympus Stylus 770SW, which was announced in late January, has a tough metal body built to survive drops of up to five feet.
Pentax is showing its Optio A30, which the company announced in late February. This $300 camera is more suited to snorklers than scuba divers–it's rated to go up to 10 feet deep for two hours.
Here's perhaps the oddest-looking waterborne camera ever seen: the Vivitar ViviCam 6200w. This camera's rubber armor is unique, and it comes in three colors: yellow, black and blue.
Vivitar’s new lineup of digital cameras at the PMA 2007 includes:
-ViviCam 6200W - 6-megapixel digital camera, waterproof to 30ft./10 meters
