Unfortunately, the 10m limitation and the awkward aesthetics are a major downside. 10m makes it pretty much useless for Scuba.]]>Jul 9th 2009 7:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/

What I don't like on this camera is the fact that it's hooked to your mask. Yes it might look great idea, but you always have to look the same direction. If you are underwater, your body moves, you need to look other way...... Video from this will be all over the place.

Housing with external flash or sealife sealed camera is the best (prepare to pay a lot of cash), if you cannot afford it, there are few very cheap camera which can go up to 30 feet - something like this will work for all your fun including shallow dives http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1363

Actually I am a scuba diver and have taken thousands of underwater photos all over New York, Pennsylvania, and Ontario - all without flash. Depending on the water and weather conditions, I've gotten quality pictures without flash as deep as 70 feet in the St. Lawrence - and I've seen a large number of strobe-less pictures taken in places like Bonaire and the Caymans far deeper than that.

Here is an untouched picture I took at 60 feet in a quarry in Pennsylvania with a 2.3 megapixel Canon Elph:

And here's one a buddy of mine took in Bonaire at 75 feet just last month:

And beyond that, there are often great opportunities for pictures and video in the 30-foot range, but the dive plan calls for the dive to get much deeper. Obviously the camera needs to be able to withstand the 4 atmospheres of pressure at 100 feet in order to come along for the ride and take pictures under the 2 atmospheres of pressure at 33 feet.

I also have a great, great full-length video of a dive I did on the Keystorm. We got to 110' on that dive, and the video looked great all the way down and all the way up, with no supplemental lighting at all, using a cheap P&S camera and waterproof housing.

So the video mask is an awesome idea for a scuba diver, even if they only want video 10 meters and above - but the video unit must be able to withstand deeper pressures as well.]]>Jul 9th 2009 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/Yet I'd use these googles for looking at something other than fish, if you catch my drift.]]>Jul 9th 2009 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/
No, not really. I don't care if you're diving in a swimming pool, the color red doesn't exist at 100 feet. Yellow, on the other hand, is quite clear. Your camera is doing some hard work at depth that your eyes are unaware of. Don't confuse what you think is "bright" and "good viability". They are two VERY different things at depth. ]]>Jul 9th 2009 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/Jul 9th 2009 7:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/Jul 9th 2009 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/Jul 9th 2009 8:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/
They would find a pretty good market among scuba divers, where recreational depths are generally about 100 feet or less. 30 just isn't enough.]]>Jul 9th 2009 9:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/Jul 9th 2009 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/Jul 9th 2009 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/Jul 9th 2009 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/Jul 9th 2009 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/09/liquid-image-video-camera-goggles-get-upgraded-specs-japanese-r/http://divecamcentral.com
