puntific Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I'm looking for suggestions for an underwater camera. I want one that can do macros as well as the ability to focus manually (maybe). Suggestions? ps. How do you search for a phrase and not just one word? I search "underwater camera" and get lots of "camera." puntific Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JManrow Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I'm looking for suggestions for an underwater camera. I want one that can do macros as well as the ability to focus manually (maybe). Suggestions? ps. How do you search for a phrase and not just one word? I search "underwater camera" and get lots of "camera." puntific In your search engine box (Google, etc.), type "underwater camera" Include the quotation marks. You can also type underwater+camera You will get results for that phrase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA2OR Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 You could probably save some money by buying a digital cam and an underwater enclosure. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Also I would try submergable camera instead of underwater. Again JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
