[Samsung](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-isocell-zoom-anyplace) has launched a series of digital cameras that are waterproof. The Samsung AQ100 digital camera can be used up to ten feet of water and its [low-light performance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hd-camera-system) is capable of providing bright images at that depth.

In addition to taking pictures, the Samsung AQ100 also records videos, thanks to its [720p HD video recorder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-osmo-action-6) that records above or below the water. There are a few extra features of the Samsung AQ100 camera: smart auto scene recognition technology that helps stabilize images while recording videos; 5x optical inner zoom lens, which reduces blurry images; aqua mode for best underwater pictures; and a 2.7" LCD screen for framing and reviewing images.
