A shockproof camera is a camera that could handle a fall. Most cameras could malfunction or break, but shockproof cameras are normally designed with damping mechanism inside the camera to absorb shocks.
The height at which it could safely handle a fall is normally specified in the brochure or camera manual.
A waterproof camera is a camera that could be used underwater without an extra casing. However, they are only waterproof at certain specified depth.
Many high end rugged cameras combine the shockproof, waterproof, dustproof and freezeproof features together for rugged outdoor activities.
If they say its waterproof then im pretty sure its waterproof , they would'nt say that it is waterproof if it isn't cause then they will be getting all those waterproof camera's back!
I don't think so but if you buy one and try to make it go underwater you might regret it if it's waterproof or not. When you go to a store i recommend asking for a camera that's waterproof and see if they got any. So yeah hope this answer helps you out with your question.or you can buy a cover that makes it water proof.
Yes. You may take photos and videos underwater with a waterproof camera. But make sure you do not use the camera beyond the specified underwater ratings. As of 2011, Sealife Mini 2 Waterproof camera holds the best waterproof depth rating. You can safely use it up to 130 feet underwater without any special casing. You may see the SeaLife at the link below.
Nice question...:) Yes..., BUT, underwater cameras are essentially designed for use underwater, so it also has bulky protective casings which keeps the camera watertight and protects it from getting soaked. So a simple photo shoot would involve you carrying and using bulky large cameras. Yes, it can be used without difficulty. If the waterproof housing is plastic, however, you may lose some focus quality. If the lens iris is adjustable, use a high number to close the lens and increase the quality to make up for it.
Ewa Marine sells fantastic waterproof bags for nearly every camera in the market, as they are quite universal. I own one for my Olympus mju (compact) and one for my Canon 50D (DSLR), and I'm happy with them. You can use to protect your camera from dust, not only water (think about a travel into the desert), and I practice scuba diving with them. They are guaranteed down to 25 m deep, but do'nt try to use them below 15, as the pressure does a "vacuum effect" and plastic touches the buttons, so you can press a button, but it'll remain pressed, making the camera unusable until you ascend about 15 m deep.

Some are, and some are not. When professionals need to film underwater, they ususally use a waterproof casing bought from a speacialist. One company in Indiana, called IkeLite, has been in the family for generations, making high quality items.

No, the camera is not waterproof, but you can purchase a waterproof case for it separately.
The main advantage of having a waterproof camera case is the protection of the camera from water damage. It is wise to have a waterproof case as a camera can be exposed to water when dropped in a puddle or during a rain storm.
