I need some disposable waterproof cameras for vacation, I don't want to risk getting wet my digital camera at certain areas, swimming, waterfalls, etc. please recommend, thanks. After looking around, I learned — 1) disposable underwater film cameras are sold at many department stores, even grocery stores. If you need an online source try here ($6. 99/camera): From the film, you can have the images developed and scanned to a CD at time of development. 2) You can get a new digital camera, like the Pentax W30: 3) Or you can take your existing camera along, but put it into a protective waterproof bag that will still allow you to take photos. Example (about $30):

There is a lot of fuss being made over the Canon waterproof digital camera D10 and I wanted to know why. So as inquisitive as I am I dug a little deeper to find out the facts. So here they are. . .

The Canon D10 is waterproof (yes we know that already by the title silly) so that means taking it along with you when you dive the coastline in search of the sea's wonders. Any good in the water? Well, yes it actually is. I have come across many user feedback posts that state that the camera takes great pictures underwater. Very clear and bright LCD makes it easy to view your pictures and aim your shots.

Next feature of the Canon waterproof digital camera is that it's shockproof. That doesn't mean dropping it off the grand canyon and picking it up unscathed at the bottom, but it does mean that it will help keep it safer for those everyday bumps and spills. People do mention that the protective case or casing of the camera is a bit bulky but due to the functionality and features it kind of has to be. Who has seen a slim and sleek camera that fits into your wallet that is waterproof and shockproof anyway? I haven't.

And lastly it is freeze-proof. Now that is an interesting one. Obviously not going swimming in the Arctic where you would most likely die from hypothermia, Well at least the camera will survive, but more like taking it skiing with you. Anyone for a snowboard 360 shot?

So if you have a look at those features plus the 12. 1MP is more than enough for clarity, it gets an all round quite impressive score. People have mentioned that the canon waterproof digital camera D10 is definitely an improvement on many of the not so wonderful action/adventure camera's out there.
