[ad#review973-top]For the most part waterproof digital cameras are big a clunky, not the type of thing you want to carry around with you from day to day. Usually when people buy waterproof digital camera’s they are just for that, using under water that’s it. Polaroid wants to change that with the t833 waterproof digital camera. Not only is this camera waterproof, it is compact and easy to take with you anywhere. Geeks.com, which is a great place to find 8MP Digital Cameras, was nice enough to send this camera over so let’s take a look and see if it’s the perfect camera for summer.

Thank for this review. I have been looking for a waterproof camera for some time, but as you mentioned they are generally a bit too bulky for casual carrying around. Just one camera for general and water photography. This camera looks like the answer.

Yea, look like a pretty good solution for under water photos. I'd like to see it go a bit more than 10 feet though.

Yeah tell me about it. Generally waterproof cameras are bulky due to the waterproof enclosure.
Its not like you gonna use it for deep sea diving..
they gotta be strong to be able to withstand the extra pressure
why not?

The features indicate that the camera is only waterproof to 10 feet but the user manual (http://products.polaroid.com/product/part_numbe…) states that it is waterproof to 30 feet.
If you want to use more deep, there are many waterproof camera models such as PowerShot D10, Lumix DMC-TS2, Tough-8010 can use up to 33 feet deep.
