In 1977 Stephen Donaldson changed the face of epic fantasy.

Jaques Cousteau, Nemo and Marine Boy (boy we’re getting old) eat your heart out! Most ‘affordable’ underwater cameras are great fun, but their price tag tends to mean that whilst they’re fun, the pictures are not that brilliant. What’s even worse is trying to negotiate those fiddly waterproof cases they come with. One gap in the seal and it’s goodbye camera. Well this Underwater Digi Cam is a whole new ballgame. It looks like any other camera, but it’s completely waterproof. No faffing around with cases, just take it in the water with you and it’s good to go. If you’re looking for an extra boost in quality the 5.0 mp can be interpolated to 12.0 mp, giving you a much smoother image. As well as stills it shoots video at 50-60 Hz, and will take SD cards up to 2GB. A TV output cable lets you play your movies and pics on the box, though we found the 3.0 TFT LCD Display screen more than enough. The waterproof camera body is safe down to at least 3 metres, and if you really want to you can always use it as a land camera. You can even use it as a webcam if that’s your bag. All in all this is a deeply impressive underwater digital camera.
