Pilihan yang ke 2-yang amat sangat memikat hati adalah kamera digital underwater yang diluncurkan oleh perusahaan Speedo, yaitu dengan spesifikasi sebagai berikut :

tampak belakang

tampak depan

Image Sensor	100 ISO positions; Focal Length 6.5mm; aperture F=3.1mm
Interface	USB
Memory	32 MB internal memory
Memory Expansion Slot	SD and SDHC
Other Features	3Meter Waterproof, Shock Resistant (1 meter), Underwater mode, Webcam Function
Resolution	9 Megapixels
Screen	2.4"
Video Recording	Yes, With sound
Zoom	4x Digital

Dari kedua pilihan itu sih aku cenderung banget pilih yang kedua, selain bentuknya yang lucu, kamera ini juga tahan banting lhoo ... :) . . .Tapi sayangnya ... sepertinya di Indonesia belum banyak beredar, so kalau mungkin adapun harganya pasti mahal banget deh, padahal kalau di Luar Negeri itu harganya cuma sekitar 99 dolar pounstreling atau sekitar 1,4 juta rupiah. Kalau pilihan yang pertama, Brica WP-50 sangat cukup terjangkau, yaitu hanya 665ribu rupiah. Aduh, aku bingung harus pilih yang mana, ada usul ga ?? T.T .

atau ada yang tau ngga dapetin kamera pilihan ke-2 di Indonesia dimana ????? ..... heeelllpp :(
