Liquid Image Scuba Mask Digital Camera
If you’re hoping to go to CES 2008, which I’m planning to, you should be able to see the Digital Underwater Camera Mask. This scuba mask/camera, manufactured by Liquid Image, allows the user to take images underwater. Perhaps Liquid Image will have a fish tank at CES to prove that it works.
The camera is available in 3.1 and 5.0 megapixels. To take a picture, all you need to do is line up the crosshair marks on the mask and then press a capture button. I can only assume the capture button is on the side somewhere. There are LED lights on the outside so you can see that a picture was taken.
After a picture is taken, you can then download the picture via USB to your personal computer or laptop. You have 16MB of memory plus a microSD slot for additional storage. I can only assume that the microSD has some sort of waterproof cover thing.
This will definitely liven up your summer pool pictures. I usually like to take a few with a disposable waterproof camera, but results are mediocre at best.
The rumor has it that the Liquid Image Mask will go for about $99. I guess we’ll see after CES.

This looks good. It will depend on the depth that this mask can to. Anything less than 10m then I think it will be a failed product. 20m at least would the depth I’d be looking for in a product like this.

This has the potential to be a great gadget for novice divers who have yet to develop their underwater photography skills and need to concentrate on their scuba diving skills.
Look for to seeing it in the flesh.

99 Bucks? It’ll sell even if the quality is horrible.
What’ll they think of next?
