When you find yourself 10 feet underwater (and intentionally at that), the Kodak PlaySport Video Camera (available at Kodak for $140) is the ideal companion for documenting all your subaquatic shenanigans in 1080p HD clarity. This waterproof digital video camera features a high-contrast two inch color LCD screen with a glare shield when shooting in bright environments as well as electronic image stabilization for when you’re recording on the move. The PlaySport also takes 5 MP HD still shots and with its built-in software, you can edit, upload and share the photos and videos capturing all your under (and above) water memories with all your friends via Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.

We love our modified Holga camera and all the anticipation that comes with developing a roll of film in the hopes of having taken unexpectedly striking photographs. That said, we can appreciate the same type of highly contrasted color and pleasantly unpredictable image quality that’s captured with the immediacy of digital technology by the Superheadz Digital Harinezumi Still/Video Camera 2.0 (available at Freestyle Photographic Supplies for $170). With a live-view approach to shooting photography and video, the Digital Harinezumi reawakens your ability to recognize and react to your environment as you document images on a still life basis or with movement and sound. The Harinezumi’s video quality is particularly evocative given its resemblance to Super 8 movies (think of the opening credit scenes from The Wonder Years). And as the Digital Harinezumi is especially compact (9cm x 3cm x 3.5cm), for those of you who have to have a camera/video camera wherever you go, there’s no reason you should leave home without one.
