So my parents were celebrating their 25 years of marriage.
I asked my dad so how it felt ? He said , It feelt like 5 minutes ... Underwater.
Ha! before my mom hits me with a object lets get the video started
with what i think are the best underwater cameras. To see the most up to date prices and find out
more information about these underwater cameras, you can check out the links
in the description below. First, we starting it with
the Best Overall the OLYMPUS Tough TG-6 Known as the ultimate everything-proof it
is built so toughly that you don't even have to worry about kids playing around with it.
The TG-6 continues the brand tradition as the best in class for underwater cameras.
The TG-6 is as rugged as they come, capable of surviving freezeproof to -10 Celcius, crushproof
up to 100kg, and most important immersion to 45m On top of all those resistances, it features a
dual protective glass for superior anti-fogging. Your smartphone will shiver at the punishment
this screen can take. Yes but please don't go so far as to continuously hit it with a hammer
since it can leave marks and scratches. You can buy it in your choice either red or black.
Many cameras of this size offer huge zoom. But waterproof cameras have to keep the lenses
entirely inside the body. It uses a zoom lens of 25-100mm as we have seen in the previous versions.
It takes the TG-6 about 1.6 seconds to power on and snaps a picture,
which means the autofocus is basic but is speedy it takes only 0.1 seconds to lock into targets.
TG-6 has stuck to the same sensor of 12MP, it supports both JPG and Raw captures. The
bursts capture mode speeds up to 20fps for very short durations like 9 shots,
it can go further but will drop the fps. What's surprising for a compact camera made
for underwater it can capture 4k videos that look good it tops out at 30fps or 1080p 60 fps.
The battery is rated for 340 shots, But will drain quicker with GPS and Wi-Fi features.
Thankfully it is rechargeable via USB so there won't be many problems regarding the battery.
Next, we have the Best Runner-Up, the Nikon W300 Nikon decided to make the W300 their most rugged
compact camera, it is pocket-sized and built to withstand almost anything life can throw at it.
It can survive immersion of 30 meters, freeze-proof to -10celcius
and can be dropped from up to 2.4 meters and won't have any scratch or mark.
Primary color comes in a moody black finish, but you can also choose colors like bright yellow,
orange, and even a camo one. The Thick and hard plastic body gives you the feeling like it can
be used as a hammer to nail stuff. The W300 sits nicely in hand thanks
to the nice bumpy grip and thumb rest it provides and also gives
you good finger positioning to press buttons. The screen is a VGA resolution with 921k dots, not
the best one out there but does the job greatly. Under the hood, it has a 16-megapixels CMOS sensor
that works great in lightning conditions, with a 24-120mm equivalent lens. It also offers pretty
well video recording capability by allowing you to shoot 1080 videos at 60fps and 4K at 30FPS.
It also offers features like built-in GPS, wi-fi to help you transfer photos quickly and
as for the battery life, it is rated up to 280 shots, not much like I said
earlier but it is not a problem either since it can be charged with a portable USB cable.
Moving forward we have the Best Action Camera one, the DJI Osmo Action
Osmo Action is something that most people know as the "GoPro" killer, since a few years ago GoPro
tried to eat DJI launch getting into the drone industry but that didn't turn out so well,
the opposite happens on the camera market though. Lookswise it took cues from the rivals since
obviously it is an action camera. It comes with a metallic finish in a grey color. On the rear,
it has a 2.2-inch touchscreen with 300ppi to protect it against dirt and scratches and it has a
screw-on to protect the lens. The camera is indeed waterproof capable of surviving 11 meters of
immersion, but oh don't forget to close the flaps. The standout feature of the design that you will
notice is the dual cameras, which can make recording much easier and pleasant.
Under the hood Osmo has a 12MP camera, that can take either RAW or JPEG format pictures. There's
also a stabilization system called Rocksteady and an HDR mode that gives an edge to the OSMO since
most of the action cameras lack HDR mode. It is capable of recording in 4k at fps
and at 1080p at 240fps. What's good is that all recordings or pictures taken later can be
fast-edited via the Osmo app, the DJI Mimo. Battery life wise, it has a 1,300mAh cell
inside it, that offers us about two hours of constant FHD recording, compared to some
competition barely managing 1-hour longevity. All I can say to wrap it up regarding the Osmo is,
that for sure it elbowed through the turf of action cameras and now
is a back-to-back competitor of GoPro. Next, we have the Best Value one,
the Fujifilm FinePix XP140 Even though it doesn't make
much of a wallop like some new releases, but it packs together a bunch of features
especially when you put the price in the count. It has a cute and fun design, some of you now
might say but hey my smartphone is more portable and can take better pictures.
Indeed your smartphone can take better pics in good conditions, but can it survive being
dropped on hard ground or rocks continuously? It can even survive up to 25 meters underwater
immersion, it comes with dustproof, shockproofing, and freezeproof of down to -10 degrees.
So is a smartphone capable of all that? So yeah anyway, that makes the XP140 a
great all-rounder that easily withstands travels, but also it can take anything
kids throw at it ( or even throw it at ) Fujifilm employed a 5X zoom and 16.4 megapixels
back-illuminated CMOS sensor, which makes it capable of great photoshoots
even in underwater or low light conditions. It is capable of shooting 4k, but sadly
we can't get so excited since it offers a maximum of 15fps. But on the bright side,
it is capable of 1080 at 60fps. it is equipped with wifi and
Bluetooth to make it easier for you to transfer photos to the phone asap.
Battery life is rated at 240 shots, which is standard for a camera of this type.
Last but not least, we have the Most Affordable option,the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TS30K
If you are looking for a camera that can take a lot of abuse but don't feel like overpaying look
no more since the Panasonic TS 30 is your friend. To remind the main point again of those types of
cameras they should be compact and easy to carry around on all types of adventures,
the TS30 does it perfectly coming in blue, red, and black colors, making
him one good-looking boy to have around in hand. Panasonic promises us 8m water immersion, which
means it is IPX8 rated and we should not keep it longer than 60 min and no deeper than 8m. But
don't worry about dropping it on a typical pool or even taking it into the shallow of the beach.
Shockproofing from up to 1.5m and freezeproofing down to -10 degrees celsius
and all those nice "rugged" features come in the small body we were talking about earlier.
Under the hood, it has a 4x optical zoom that goes from 25-100m and a 16-megapixel CCD sensor.
I can't boast about the image quality is a bit low but so is the price of this camera. But overall is
decent and will do the job it is set out to do. Videos can be shot in HD 1280 x 720 at 30fps,
and also it has the torch light feature to brighten up the underwater scenes.
It comes with a 1 Lithium-ion battery and an AC adapter and
it charges internally within the camera unit. To keep it at a budget price point Panasonic
didn't gift many features that we see in the competition, but sure it does contain
everything we need for a rugged camera. Thanks for watching! I hope you found this
video to be helpful. If you have any questions about the products mentioned in this video,
