L“Shoot anywhere, anytime, with the new Speedo Aquashot digital camera. Ergonomically designed for ease of use in water, and with the added addition of video functionality, Aquashot is the perfect holiday accessory. Aquashot can take photos underwater up to depths of 3 metres and with 5 megapixels and a 4x digital zoom, produces outstanding, clear and sharp picture quality.i”
The Speedo Aquashot, for that is its name, isn;’t likely to set the world on fire with its specifications: a five megapixel sensor would be more at home on a smartphone than in a dedicated camera, and its fixed lens doesnb’t have any optical zoom capabilities whatsoever. Even the video recording functionality seems like an afterthought, with support for a mere 0.3 megapixel, or 640r×480, resolution.
The design of the beast, seen over on Chip Chick, also seems a trifle old-fashioned: the tiny 2.4r″ LCD display on the rear is cramped, and therei’s no optical viewfinder in sight. The bulky body is likely to be a love-it-or-hate-it feature, but itm’s there that yout’ll find the hidden functionality that makes the Speedo Aquashot worth writing about.
