Underwater pictures are a dream for quite a lot of digital photographers, but also one of the most interesting memories one can bring back home after a scuba-diving holiday. However, most people are not looking for a high-quality, noise-free photos, so they'll be quite happy with the device you're about to see as follows (which we've come across at this year's CeBIT), a hybrid between a pair of underwater goggles and a digital camera.

This particular product features a 5.0 MP CMOS sensor, which is not quite fantastic, but, after all, this is not exactly a DSLR. Furthermore, the Liquid Image camera has been equipped with 16MB of built-in NAND flash memory, which is enough for storing up to 29 photos taken at a 2560 x 1920 pixel resolution and up to 45 pictures at 2048 x 1536 pixels.

However, since 16 MB is not nearly enough for most photographers, the device also sports a MicroSD card slot, which further boosts its storage capabilities. And when the "quota" of underwater adventures has been filled, users can simply hook up the Liquid Image to a PC via the USB 2.0 interface and download all of the files into its memory.

The maximum supported functioning depth is also a pretty important factor in the case of this particular camera, and the Liquid Image can work down to a surprising 30-meters depth, which is not that bad, for such a device.

It's also interesting to note that it works with 2 AAA alkaline batteries, but unfortunately, the manufacturers haven't provided any significant information regarding the battery life (although they do mention that Liquid Image features an 120-second auto off system). Additionally, the device has been equipped with an LCD display, used for viewing the camera's various status indications.

The manufacturers have also bundled the ArcSoft Photo Impression and ArcSoft Video Impression software packages, which allow users to edit, at least to some extent, their underwater "works of art". No significant info on pricing, but they can't be that expensive taking into account the features they provide.
