Camera SLR Guide and Information

Who can deny the usefulness of cameras? As we all know, cameras are meant to capture our most precious memories on film. As you undoubtedly know, digital cameras have now all but replaced the conventional film cameras we've all grown up with. Since digital cameras rely on sophisticated computer boards and microprocessors that are more prone to damage by the elements such as water, the demand for waterproof digital cameras is very strong indeed.

Fortunately, most if not all the manufacturers offer a waterproof version of thier most popular cameras for sale. There are many protective cases and coverings, some even custom made for your camera, that you could use to protect your camera.

Given the choice between a standard digital camera and it's waterproof counterpart, and assuming all other features are similar, it would seem that the waterproof camera would be a wiser choice.
