On Holiday With A Throwaway Waterproof Camera

By Randy Rushmore

If you feel that you could use a waterproof camera but you feel that the models on the market are too expensive, have you considered getting a disposable model for those times that you will need it? Throwaway underwater cameras are quite cheap nowadays, and they come with most of the advantages of their more durable cousins.

Disposable waterproof cameras are in fact much better than a piece of expensive kit if you will only need it on certain occasions, such as when going swimming, or when out on a weekend with friends by the sea, or for your kids. In many cases also, as pictures are visual memories you should give them adequate protection to avoid them being ruined by dampness or foul weather affecting your camera.

For parties or concerts, waterproof cameras that are cheap and disposable are a great thing. No need to worry about spilled drinks or playful guest splashing people with water in the summer. Many people only associate waterproof cameras with swimming, but this is actually another great place to bring these splash-proof devices.

If the party is a private one, disposable waterproof cameras are still a great idea even if the risk of theft is much mitigated. Dinks have an annoying habit of spilling everywhere, and you wouldn't one to leak onto an unprotected camera. And if you are the host of the party, disposable waterproof cameras are quite cheap so you can give a couple to your guests so that they can shoot some memorable pictures of the evening, for you to keep.

The swimming pool is a more traditional, but just as great, place to bring a disposable waterproof camera. You will not risk your pictures being ruined by water getting into the camera workings. And you will be able to take pictures underwater.

Imagine how great it will be to later view the photos of your day at the pool, taken with a waterproof disposable camera, and to see underwater shots of you and of the people who were with you. If you are a good photographer you may even have taken a split picture, half in the water and half outside!

For slightly longer getaways, such as a beach weekend or other short holiday break, disposable waterproof cameras provide a way to take pictures in all weather conditions, without risking much if the camera gets misplaced. They are recommended in every traveller's kit, and if you often go for little road trips, they are a great thing to have in your car.

But other holidays besides beach trips also warrant the use of a waterproof camera. Imagine if it rains, if the area you are in turns out to be exceedingly damp, or if you fall into a stream while hiking though the woods. In all these cases, you will be saved if your camera won't break after the first couple of splashes. And if it's disposable, all the better as you don't risk much if you lose it.

Another way to use waterproof digital cameras is to give them to kids. All children, whether they are small or teenagers, will love and appreciate such a gift. Such a camera will allow them to express their creativity and have a go at the wonderful world of photography, without you being out of pocket as a result. And it will be very hard for them to damage their new toy.

Disposable waterproof cameras are a truly versatile piece of equipment, and they should be part of any enterprising photographers' kit, whether amateur or professional. They are quite cheap and you can get them at a bargain on the Internet, so it makes a lot of sense to get more than one. You never know when you may just need that disposable waterproof camera! - 30452
