The Terrestrial and Aquatic Digital Camera

It’s nearly summer, months chock full of weekend trips to the beach and poolside fun — why not take a waterproof camera along? Let’s face it, wrapping your Cybershot in a sandwich bag just doesn’t cut it (and take it from me, manufacturers don’t accept returns because you were a dope and thought “it’s not that wet out”). Past cameras touting waterproof functionality have often been clunky and out-of-this-world expensive; the Terrestrial and Aquatic Digital Camera is an affordable investment at $149.95

This 5MP digi cam comes with its own 100% waterproof transparent case for taking pictures underwater or out in the pouring rain, and slides out of its protective case in clear conditions for slimmer use. Waterproof up to 50 feet, the rubber gasket sealed case allows you to control the camera through molded rubber buttons aligned with the camera buttons, including a built in flash and 4x zoom lens, and preview/review your shots on a 2″ LCD screen. The camera comes with 16MB of built in memory but can be expanded with the use of SD cards from your other cameras. When you’re ready to share your shots, the USB port connects directly to your computer for download, or via the AV port to your TV for quick sharing. Pocket friendly at 7 1/4″ x 4 1/2″, pick up one for yourself (or Dad!) at Hammacher Schlemmer.
