I tried several cameras on a recent dive trip, including a Kodak and a Fuji disposable waterproof camera.
Neither camera has a flash, which means that everything will come out in shades of blue under water unless you bring your own light.
Neither camera leaked, which gave them an edge over more expensive “professional” cameras on this trip.
Both the Kodak and Fuji look very similar with a sealed plastic case (with slight positive buoyancy) and thick rubberbands for securing to a wrist or clipping to a BCD.
I have to give the edge to the Fuji in terms of both design and results. The Fuji was easier to wind and to snap shots with and the pictures came out sharper. The 800 film in the Kodak produced shots that were way too grainy.
This camera looks really good and promising. Although Kodak says it could down to 50ft, the camera itself has the phrase “max 35ft or 10m” written on it. But we reached 60ft and nothing happened to it. It didn’t break or leak! It also is a little bit buoyant, which means it won’t sink if dropped, instead it will ascend.
It has two disadvantages; the first is its lack to a flash. There isn’t much sunlight under 35ft of sea water and so the photos turned out a little too dark and bluish. After color correction the photos turned so pale and spotted. The pictures taken above 20ft were awesome. The second disadvantage is that the camera’s eye lens it too small for someone who is wearing a diving mask (goggle).
The camera doesn’t lose its color to the eye even under 60ft since it is blue. And it has a place where a rope or a nylon tape can be tied to it so it can be attached to the diving jacket (BCD).
It is not perfect, but it’s the best.
