Underwater photography has been greatly impacted and improved because of the digital revolution. Being able to see and edit your shots before you leave the water is an startling advantage. Back in the stone age of film cameras you had to wait until your trip was over and your film was processed before you even knew you had made a mistake that could have cost you some or all of your photos. It is not difficult to see that digital imaging has greatly improved underwater photography, and all photography for that matter. Another blessing of underwater digital cameras is that while technology is constantly improving, prices are constantly dropping.
There are two basic groups or types of digital cameras: Slr which stands for "single lens reflex" and "digi-cam" which just means digital camera, and refers to the smaller point and shoot models. Slr cameras look like their film type predecessors. They are about the same size and have similar functionality. Slr cameras have developed features, will allow you to convert lenses, and are faster than the point and shoot digital cameras. Digi-cam, while easy to use, has shortcomings when compared to an Slr underwater camera.

Although Slrs are more capable than digi-cams, they want more photographic expertise and are more expensive. A point and shoot underwater camera is more affordable and much more user amiable to the hobbyist and daily user.

Olympus Underwater Digital Camera impartLENI RIEFENSTAHL GERMANY PHOTOGRAPHER "Chant of Souls" Phil Thornton Tube. Duration : 5.02 Mins.UNDERWATER WORLD Helene Bertha Amalie "Leni" Riefenstahl ( 22 August 1902 -- 8 September 2003) was a German film director, actress and dancer widely noted for her aesthetics and innovations as a filmmaker. Her most famous film was Triumph des Willens (Triumph of the Will), a propaganda film made at the 1934 Nuremberg congress of the Nazi Party. Riefenstahl's prominence in the Third Reich along with her personal friendship with Adolf Hitler thwarted her film career following Germany's defeat in World War II, after which she was arrested but released without any charges. Triumph of the Will gave Riefenstahl instant and lasting international fame, as well as infamy. Although she directed only eight films, just two of which received significant coverage outside of Germany, Riefenstahl was widely known all her life. The propaganda value of her films made during the 1930s repels most modern commentators but many film histories cite the aesthetics as outstanding. The Economist wrote that Triumph of the Will "sealed her reputation as the greatest female filmmaker of the 20th century". In the 1970s Riefenstahl published her still photography of the Nuba tribes in Sudan in several books such as The Last of the Nuba. She was active up until her death and also published marine life stills and released the marine-based film Impressionen unter Wasser in 2002. After her death, the Associated Press described Riefenstahl as an "acclaimed pioneer of film and photographic techniques". Der ...
