As recently as two years ago, if you were shopping for a 3.0 mega pixel or greater camera, you would have paid approximately $249. for one. Today, prices have tumbled and it isn't uncommon to find cameras in this category going for $150 or less. Recents sale prices I have observed have brought this price down further with one retailer selling the Kodak HD Waterproof Pocket Video Camera Bundle for just under $140.
As you may know a 3.0 meg camera is ideal if you are taking pictures to post online. Anything greater isn't necessary, so there is no need to expend the extra bucks for a 5.0, 6.0, or even 7.0 meg camera.
This particular Kodak model is no bare bones model either. Top features include:
* Waterproof up to 10 ft. (3 m)
* Full 1080p HD video
* Electronic image stabilization
* Brilliant 2.0 in. color display
* Capture 5 megapixel HD stills (16:9)
The HD Waterproof Pocket Video Camera is easy to use and picture quality is very good. Kodak also markets this model camera in different colors, so shop around and see what your retailer is offering.
