Great Underwater Digital Camera
Vivitar VIVICAM-6200W 6.0 mega-pixel underwater digital camera with 4x digital zoom 2.0″ LCD is great underwater digital camera. The waterproof ViviCam 6200w with built-in flash takes your photography to the next level, on both land and aquatic adventures. The feature I like the best about the camera is taking underwater videos with sound. The shutter speed of the camera is a bit slow (takes 2-3 seconds between each shot) but the photo quality is very good in daylight conditions. Overall, it’s a great underwater digital camera under $200.
