Easypix Aquapix W3027 Wave
Easypix Aquapix W3027-O Wave Camera — Sunset Orange
A compact waterproof digital camera for holidays, poolside fun and underwater photography at depths of up to 3 metres.
The Aquapix W3027 Wave makes it easy to capture holidays and water-based activities without placing a smartphone at risk. Its sealed enclosure is waterproof to a depth of 3 metres, so it can move naturally between dry-land photography, the beach, the pool and shallow underwater use without requiring an additional housing.
A 5-megapixel CMOS sensor supports selectable photo resolutions up to 30 megapixels through interpolation, while Full HD recording captures video at 1920 × 1080. The 2.7-inch display provides a clear view for framing and playback, supported by straightforward controls suitable for casual photographers and family use.
A colourful, uncomplicated camera for capturing moments that would be too wet, sandy or adventurous for an everyday phone.

Made for Water-Based Memories
The W3027 Wave is designed for the situations where carrying a conventional camera or phone can feel impractical. Its waterproof enclosure protects the camera during shallow underwater use, while the safety lock on the battery compartment helps prevent accidental opening around water.
After use, the camera should be dried with a soft cloth before the battery compartment is opened.
Simple Controls with Useful Flexibility
Automatic and adjustable settings help users move quickly between different environments. White-balance options cover daylight, cloudy, fluorescent and tungsten lighting, while ISO settings from Auto to ISO 400 provide additional exposure control.
The built-in flash can be set to on, off or automatic operation, and self-timer options make group photos easier to arrange.
Photos and Video for Everyday Adventures
The 5-megapixel CMOS sensor records JPEG photographs and supports higher selectable resolutions through interpolation. Full HD, HD and VGA video modes provide flexibility depending on the required quality and file size, with recordings stored in AVI format.
A replaceable 650mAh lithium-ion battery powers the camera and charges through USB Type-C. The camera supports microSD cards up to 128GB, sold separately, providing practical capacity for holidays and longer days away from home.
