This Canon PowerShot features an exceptional 5X zoom, 1080p HD video, and a 12.1 megapixel, highly sensitive CMOS sensor. It’s a solid compact with features that creep it close to SLR quality.

We love the built-in wifi that provides easy image transfer to any of your digital devices and even social accounts — in many ways, the G16 is a smart device as much as it is a camera.

Underwater, it performs exceptionally well for the mid-range price point, look for the RecSea WHC-G16 housing and consider purchasing a strobe.

A solid choice for underwater photographers looking for a camera that performs without breaking the bank. Just be aware that the housing will set you back more than the camera itself.
