What's the Canon waterproof camera list look like? When this post was first written the Canon Powershot D20 was the main topic, but now you're searching to find out what Canon cameras are waterproof. This post will give you first the old, then the new, then the unique options for a Canon underwater digital camera.
This Canon waterproof digital camera surely takes care of all photographers who want to use this camera while swimming on vacation, frolicking in the pool, snorkeling, or even in the bathtub.
Canon Camera Geek highlights of the D20 include:
It also boasts GPS, shockproof, underwater macro and an optical image stabilizer. The Canon D20 has many available accessories.
This Canon waterproof camera also lets you focus continuously from macro to infinity while shooting video. And surprisingly for such a camera, It can focus on subjects at a distance of only 1 cm. For current price and updated reviews on the D20 click here.
Unlike the competition, Canon waited two years for the release of the upgrade. The newer version of Canon's waterproof camera is the Powershot D30.
The big difference is its waterproof depth rating increase from 33 to 82 feet.
Other improvements include improved LCD viewing underwater and in sunlight.
Here are the specs on the Canon D30.
The D30 has very short shutter travel and pressing the shutter button halfway activates the auto focus quickly. This is not a big deal at all, but takes a little getting used to. Click here for current price and updated reviews.
It's waterproof and shockproof and is designed by Canon to use instead of putting your expensive smartphone in peril. It also has Bluetooth® and built-in Wi-Fi® to make sharing easy. For current price and updated reviews of the Canon Ivy Rec waterproof camera click here.
Not surprising, the two versions of Canon "D" cameras are priced similarly. Click the link below to read what consumers have reported on these products on Amazon. As an Amazon affiliate Canon Camera Geek receives a small commission from qualifying purchases, at NO added cost to you.
Another option to consider instead of a waterproof camera is for you to get waterproof housing for your Canon camera.
Here is the DiCaPac Waterproof case for DSLRs below. This type of underwater housing is very affordable, but you must be very conscientious when you seal it.
Two challenges when using a camera accessory like this.
The quality of your underwater photos are usually most dependent on the clarity of the water and the quality of the light.
Understand that there is always at least some risk when taking camera equipment underwater. If you have the money to spend you can get professional waterproof housing like the Ikelite 6146.01 shown in the photo below.
These type of professional waterproofing accessories can cost more than the cameras you use them with.
You get what you pay for though. With this type of waterproof camera accessory, you get a high easy-of-use for the camera adjustments as well as a much better ability to compose your photograph.
Keep shooting your Canon!
