Before we had digital underwater cameras, the only options were extremely expensive film cameras or low quality disposable cameras. In both cases, you didn't really know how your images were going to turn out and you just had to keep your fingers crossed for a good result!
The beauty of underwater digital cameras is that you can preview your images (as you do with digital snaps you take out of the water) before you take them, so that you know if something is going to work or not.
Kids love splashing around in the water and having a camera on hand to record funny moments makes it even better. When you are looking for an underwater childrens camera, keep a few things in mind. First of all, you want the quality of the photos to be good. As with any kids camera, the pictures might not turn out great, because after all it is a child who is taking them and he is not going to be as precise (or steady with his hands!) as an adult. Nonetheless, you want the pictures to be reasonable enough so that you can actually make out what the photo is of!
Secondly, an underwater model should be very durable so that it survives any bumps and drops that come along. It needs to be easy for a child to hold, which means they are less likely to lose grip of it.
Finally, it is crucial that the kids camera is easy enough for a small child to use. It will be even harder for them to take photographs under water than out of the water, so make sure the buttons are large and well positioned, and there are no complicated settings to deal with.
How much you pay for your childs underwater camera is entirely up to you, but if your budget is tight there is no need to worry. You can pick up a kids underwater camera for less than $50, which is hard to beat.
