Instead of telling you what this Snap Sights Flash 35mm Waterproof
Camera is, it might be easier to tell you what it isn’t. It isn’t
digital, which is bad. It isn’t affected by water at depths up to 100
feet, which is good. It isn’t high-quality, which is bad. It isn’t
fragile, which is good. The film advance is manual, which is
bad. It isn’t expensive, which is good.
So good, in fact,
that we’re hoping its low price tips the scales in favor of its overall
goodness. When it tumbles out of the kayak on your next he-man
whitewater adventure, ask yourself: is diving overboard to save it
worth the risk of potentially dashing your brains into pudding on the
unforgiving rocks? The answer will depend on how much you value those
snaps of your beered-up amigos gutting catfish around the campfire, not
on whether you can stand the financial loss involved.
If
you’re the type who does a lot of snorkelling and SCUBA diving – and if so,
what are you doing at this site? – you know that a waterproof case
alone will set you back many times more than the price shown above. But
it’s got more scuba-centric qualities, too. This cheapie cam comes
loaded with 27 exposures of film and a flip-up viewfinder ideal for use
by the dive-masked. The 28mm lens gives it a minimum focus distance of 3 feet, perfect
for nabbing shots of passing clownfish or whatever. We’d wager that
there’s no cheaper way to take photos of the wondrous sights
under the sea, but we wouldn’t wager much.
