FinePix Z33WP – World’s Smallest and Lightest Waterproof Digital Camera

Extreme photography and underwater photos are great, as long as your digital camera is useable underwater. Underwater cameras provide a unique chance to photograph a world that is often inaccessible with non-waterproof digital cameras. So it’s nice to have a camera that you don’t have to worry about getting wet and can take into the water with you. And even if you’re not going swimming, a waterproof camera has also benefits for shooting in challenging environments – from the odd rain shower to skiing down the alps.

Manufacturers have offered underwater housings for compact cameras as well as DSLRs for some time, but with the high price and significant extra bulk of these accessories, a more compact and sometimes cheaper option could be a waterproof or water resistant camera.

FinePix Z33WPNow here’s a camera that can keep up with you at the pool or beach, both in the sand and under water. Fuji’s FinePix Z33WP 10-megapixel camera is designed for those who love great outdoors. It is waterproof to depths of three meters and features Picture Stabilization and Face Detection technology. Z33WP is also fitted with Scene Recognition AUTO that automatically detects the scene you’re shooting and optimizes the camera’s settings to produce the best results. It also features two fun and handy self-timer modes – couple and group.

Finally, to enable you to share your shots with all your friends, the Z33WP features the very popular Blog Mode. This resizes images to a cyber-friendly size so you can quickly and easily pop your pictures on social networking sites like Facebook and Flickr for all to see and enjoy.

Compact, cool, and ready to rise to any challenge, FinePix Z33WP is offered in five dating colors to suit your style – Kiwi Green, Hawaiian Blue, Daredevil Black, Liquid Gold, and Rock Chick Pink. Get the green one here!

Nikon Coolpix eXtreme: The All Weather Camera

Though Nikon is not the first to release weatherproof cameras, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t do its part in bringing in such cameras to this part of the world. Yes, Olympus, Canon, and Panasonic have all jumped into the tough/weatherproof camera market and this has left Nikon aficionados wanting one of their own. Well, Nikon fanatics, we’ve got news for you – you will have a tougher companion for your D300s. Don’t get too excited though, as the Nikon Coolpix eXtreme point-and-shoot camera is still a concept.

Nikon may not be synonymous with sleek designs but the Coolpix eXtreme aims to change that. And unlike those from Panasonic, Canon, or Olympus — the Nikon Coolpix eXtreme is very sexy. A designer piece from Yakon Design by artist Camillo Vanacore, the Nikon Coolpix eXtreme features a curved, sand-weathered-stone body shape and a continuous LCD on the back panel. As contemporary as it is however, the sleekness seems to slip out of a user’s hand easily.
