This Intova CP8 Digital Camera is really a kit that includes an 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 130' (40m). 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 2.36" LCD display. This makes composing your photos a breeze. The camera incorporates a fixed focus lens and the housing allows access to all camera functions.
The camera flash can be used to take underwater photos, but an external strobe is recommended to improve color and reduce the illumination of particles suspended in the water. The Intova Slave Strobe is perfect for use with this camera.
