Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 Waterproof Camera Review: The One That Says Bad MotherF*cker On It
If there's a tougher waterproof camera, I haven't seen it before. That's not to say it's perfect, but it's the point and shoot I'd take to cover an Aquaman vs Red October brawl. More » -

Panasonic SDR-SW21 Waterproof Camera Non-Review: NO NO NO NO NO!
This camera doesn't deserve a review; it deserves a warning. It is one of the most expensive rugged cams, but takes only 640x480 SD video and 0.3MP stills as bad as the worst camphones. Miserable! More » -

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 Waterproof Camera Review: My Favorite So Far, Oddly
It's not the most rugged, waterproof, or compact of its kind. And its photos aren't the best. But for some reason I really like this camera. Maybe I'm wrong. More » -

A Photographer's Life Aquatic
Sometimes shooting in the open water just doesn't make sense: You need sets, lighting, equipment and crew; you need proximity to the airport, and your lead actress' home in London. You need Pinewood Studios' 320,000-gallon underwater stage. More » -

Canon Powershot D10 Waterproof Camera Review: Dive, Dive, DIVE!
The Canon Powershot D10 will never, ever fit into a pocket unless you are MC Hammer, circa 1990. That's because it houses a telescoping lens in a bulging case, making it look like a sub. Still, shots are pretty. More » -

Fujifilm Finepix Z33WP Waterproof Cam Review: Small and Smooth Like a Sea Stone

Documentary Deploys Spy Tech to Trump Japanese Dolphin Killers

Pentax W80 Camera Review: Waterproof and Now Slightly Ruggedized
The Pentax W80 is their latest in a long line of waterproof cams that take decent shots, but have always been my favorite because of their compact size. This one is a bit bigger, but gains ruggedization and depth. More » -

Aquawalls For Creating an Imaginary Undersea Abode

AquaJelly and AirJelly Robot Jellyfish At Home In the Water or the Sky
Festo, the same company that brought us the Air Ray robot last year, has developed yet another graceful robot inspired by a creature of the sea. In fact, they have developed two versions, both based on the common jellyfish: the AquaJelly and the AirJelly. According to Festo, the AquaJelly is "an artificial autonomous jellyfish with an electric drive and an intelligent, adaptive mechanical system." Apparently the idea is to have several of the robots autonomously working together using a communication system composed of Zigbee short-range radio on the surface and LEDs when underwater. More info and videos after the break. More »
