Further Information

This INTOVA IC-800 Underwater Digital Camera is really a kit that includes a 8.0 mega-pixel digital camera and underwater housing. With this kit you can take photographs as you explore the ocean world both above and below the surface. This easy to use camera is good to depths of up to 180' (54.86 m). Of course it is also ideal for taking worry-free pictures in the rain, at the beach, or on the ski slopes. The camera features a 3" LCD display. This makes composing your photos easy and fun.

The camera flash can be used to take underwater photos, but an external strobe is recommended to improve colour and reduce the illumination of particles suspended in the water. The Pixtreme Flash Set is the perfect flash to use with this camera. The camera housing allows access to all camera functions.
