I’ve updated the rankings below accordingly. Hopefully, this list gives you a good idea of which camera will be right for you.Ģ023 Update: Since this article was first published, almost every camera on the list below has changed in price, some more than others. Today, I’d like to circle back and rank these cameras for photographers who are trying to decide on a DSLR, either for yourself or as a gift. All of these cameras can focus as close as 0.4 inch from the front of the lens.Over the years of working for Photography Life, I’ve had the chance to test almost every entry-level DSLR out there and review which ones are the best. That means macro capabilities are important.

Macro and close-up modes: Because light doesn’t travel very well through water, a lot of underwater photography happens very close to the subject of the photo.

And pretty much all modern tough cameras work at subfreezing temperatures down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Similarly, you’ll need at least 5 feet-chest height for many people-of drop resistance. We considered a depth rating of 40-plus feet to be the minimum (50-plus was preferable). Snorkeling is unlikely to take you below 10 feet, but your camera’s depth limit should give you room to spare in case you drop the camera accidentally underwater.

Waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof: Since ruggedness is the very reason these cameras exist, we took into account the manufacturer’s stated limits.

For any camera nerds who are wondering, we set a cutoff of f/3.5 or larger as the maximum aperture. Large-aperture lens: Since light falls off dramatically the farther you dive below the surface of the water (they don’t call them the murky depths for nothing), it helps to have a lens that lets in as much light as possible.
