Swim Mask with Digicam Answers Unasked Question

While never having owned a waterproof digital camera, it never occurred to me wonder how in the heck I’d be able to use a camera underwater. Hammacher Schlemmer has answered the question I wasn’t smart enough to ask with a new Swimming Mask with an integrated digital camera. The mask’s eyepieces are glass with engraved cross-hairs for lining up your shots. It’s no slouch at nearly 5 Mega-pixels, the camera can take produce images at 2560 x 1920. Up to 26 images can be stored on its built in 16MB memory. There’s also a microSD slot for expansion.

Not without limitations this one-of-a-kind can only be used in water up to a depth of 15 feet. That should be plenty for snorkeling or baby’s first swimming lesson. In addition to still photos the maskamera can also record videos. Get your Jacques Cousteau on and then head back to your PC or Mac and use the USB connection to download photos and videos. Hammacher also includes picture editing software to boot. (Seriously, who doesn’t already have their own photo editing favorite?)
