Take underwater photos with Digital Camera Swim Mask
Anyone who’s been reading this blog for awhile knows that I’m a big digital camera fan. I love photography and the advances in the digital world make it easier than ever.
If your next trip involves snorkeling or even just swimming, check out Hammacher Schlemmer’s Digital Camera Swim Mask , the first and only one of its kind so far.
Not only is it a swim mask it has a fully integrated waterproof camera on board. What makes it so convenient is that you are then free to swim as you normally would without having to carry around a bulky waterproof camera in one hand.
What really impresses me is that this isn’t just a little novelty camera attached to the side of a pair of goggles. The camera is 5 MP which is really nice, and it is waterproof up to a depth of 15 feet. Meanwhile the lenses on the mask contain crosshairs which can be used just like the focus features on a standard camera so that you can line your shot up. You can choose between still photos or video footage and you’ll actually see an LED in the mask telling you what mode you’re in.
The camera can later be hooked up to your computer via USB cable, and it contains 16 MB of internal memory with the ability to allow for microSD cards for more memory. The whole thing runs off 3 AAA batteries and will cost you $99.95 which is a really fantastic price.
