What do you get when a diving mask meets camera?

We've seen scuba divers carrying underwater cameras that are clipped on to the buoyancy device to take pictures. It gets rather tricky when it get stuck with the regulator. The makers of LiquidImage realise that, and they decided to see what they can do with it.





Behold the next invention that amateur divers can look out for:



THE LIQUIDIMAGE UNDERWATER CAMERA MASK















Advantages:



It is an awesome gadget, especially for amateur divers. You can insert your USB or Micro SD card for storage, and guess what? There's a LCD screen as well! There are two available types: 5 megapixels and 3.1 megapixels. Another important factor is that the depth for the gadget is 5-30 metres. Also, you can record videos as well!





Disadvantages:



NO FLASHLIGHT. This camera doesn't have ISO, so the quality of the pictures has to depend on the enviroment, and the light settings as well. This shows that this gadget is not suitable for deep-diving etc.





It is suitable for shallow diving, snorkeling and swimming pool sessions. It will start to ship this month, but I am not sure if Singapore retailers will import or not. How about the price? More than S$200 I'm sure.
