Manufacturers are continuously focused on the development of new products with advanced features such as 4K & 5K resolution, wide-angle lenses, and water resisting capability to capture wider views. Water-resistance technology in action cameras allows users to capture views underwater, eliminating camera breakdowns. These features aid manufacturers to gain the action camera market share of water surfing, underwater diving, boating, scuba diving, and other water-based application segments.
