Liquid Image Camera-Mask Lets You Shoot Video, Take Pics Underwater
Posted by Addy Dugdale at 9:58 PM on December 20, 2007
Although only waterproof to 15 feet, and therefore not exactly serious underwater snapper gear, this Liquid Image digital camera-mask is not a bad idea for kids or snorkelers as it lets you take hands-free images of the Big Blue. Full details will be released at CES next month, but we've got a bit more info after the jump.
Available in 3.1-Megapixel and 5-Megapixel models, you shoot your subject by lining it up in the crosshairs on the mask. LED lights on the glass indicate whether you're in video or stills mode. A USB port allows you to download from its 16MB internal memory, and there's an SD card slot allowing you to bump that up so you can shoot your swimming-pool version of Jaws. Price of the Liquid Image Camera-Mask hasn't been finalized yet, but we think that the smaller version will cost $US99. [Liquid Image via Krunker]

Wouldn't it be interesting if you could run a WiFi SD card in that thing and rig it to send snaps every so often?
I know, I know, the water will eat the signal, but STILL!

nothing is more satisfying when the kids are in the pool and you bust out the camera and simply toss it in while onlookers gasp!!

strider_mt2k: You mean the Eye-Fi card? I am sure it will work; the card just need a standard SD slot. Would be interested to see how it works under water though... (H2O absorbs 2.4GHz frequency)

Wasn't there a decree passed in South Korea that all digital camera must make a "click" sound or they can't be sold? This thing's click is going to sound like a sonar ping!
