Cheap digital waterproof camera
I saw the camera above on Gizmodo today. It’s a digital camera that’s waterproof and costs just KD10. Seems like the perfect thing to take to the chalet on weekends and it won’t cost you an arm and a leg. It’s a 1.3MP camera which doesn’t sound like much but it’s more than you need for Facebook or posting on a blog. It also shoots video but from what I read the quality isn’t that great. In case you drop it the camera floats on the water which is pretty cool as well.
Anyway here is the link to the camera on [Amazon]
Update: My friend just told me he got the Kodak camera above from Amazon for KD18. It’s 12MP and looks a lot cooler than the KD10 camera I originally posted. It also comes in 3 colors. Here it is on [Amazon]

I got it for my son… But we couldn’t take the plastic cover off when we needed to develop the film. We tried using a hammer at the end… Felt stupid.
Still not open by the way … Broken.. But not open.
that’s probably because it’s a digital camera and u won’t find film in it…
very difficult to resist … so tempted …
Awesome fail!!
OMG…hahahahahah ROFL…lolzz….
searching for the camera reel in a digital camera… lolzzzz….
EPIC FAIL!!!
Wait…what?
?
Haha.Classic fail!
Oh just got confused as to why someone would try to open a digital camera to get the film out, let alone with a hammer.
All cleared up now.
This must be joke! Tell me it is! :)
LOOOOOOOOOL
Kodak underwater playsport available in Kuwait for KD.22.500
Mark any idea abt waterproof dslr covers/bags sold in kuwait? I know there is no use for it in kuwait, but ill be travelling to a place where it rains a lot.
I don’t want to sound mean but I laughed for good 10 minutes on one of the comment. LOL
Oh… I didn’t know u were talking about the digital ones…
Lol !! He says digital 2 times & talks about video too!
Dont worry about it… U didn’t sound mean… Just too bored I guess. Got all the time to read every word.. Lucky u.
yeah right!
HA!… funny comment, but it was obvious that the commenter didn’t have a clue… (my advice, it’s probably a disposable, you need to take the whole thing to get it developed).
the 10KD camera is probably limited to like 3m…and in case the water does come in, salt water is a killer on any sort of electronic device.
the Kodak also doesn’t seem like it’s got much depth to it… ones that cna go up to 18 m are quirte pricey
the KD10 one goes down to 30meters while the Kodak one down to 3meters.
What happens if I take these cameras to 50m?
They get the “bends”.

cheap gives a very bad image for anything. Better you say low price, affordable, low cost, well priced anything but not cheap. Thanx
I got te Kodak one last weekend and tried it out.. It has nice options but nothing too advanced and very easy to use. I took some underwater shots and videos and they turned out in good quality.. Only downside if you zoom to take a picture it’s slightly pixilized but all in all I’m glad to have purchased one :)
I think i saw the Kodak here in Kuwait at Geant in 360 and being sold for same price as well.
i am using sony`s cyber shot TX5 for a year now and its so great underwater .. i think there is a new model now .
the old one :

I bought the kodak for my nephew. 3 meters is fine for taking pics by the pool or beach. I think this camera is for the average person who spends summer holidays swimming not diving! Good price!
@AMJD where is the playsport sold?
for swimming pool use, put your digital cam(point&shot) in a transparent zip bag.. :P
