5 Megapixel Underwater Digital Camera £99.99

Jaques Cousteau, Nemo and Marine Boy (boy we're getting old) eat your heart out! Most 'affordable' underwater cameras are great fun, but their price tag tends to mean that whilst they're fun, the pictures are not that brilliant. Well this Underwater Digital Camera is a whole new ballgame. We took it to Egypt (at great personal sacrifice) to put it to the test, and the results speak for themselves. It was easy to use, we know this because we didn't bother to read the instructions (though you should of course), and the 5 Megapixel resolution was excellent.

As well as stills it shoots video at 18-20 FPS (frames per second) QVGA, and will take SD cards up to 2GB. A TV output cable lets you play your movies and pics on the box, the waterproof housing is safe down to at least 15 metres, and of course you can take it out of its case and use it as a land camera. You can even use it as a webcam if that's your bag. It uses just two AAA batteries, so no matter where you are you can keep the power going. All in all this is a deeply impressive underwater digital camera.
