>> I would never recommend a SeaLife
I bought a SeaLife and soon found out that it was not a good camera to take pictures in a lot of conditions
If you are a diver who plans to take the Underwater Photo Adventure Course DO NOT buy this camera since it will not give you the possibillities to get out of the camera s settings
Soon after the camera was off the manufactures warranty water got into the seals of the camera and the camera started malfunctioning
SeaLife could not do anything about but to offer a rebate if I bought another SeaLife I got really upset because the camera could not even go for repair
Check SeaLife s website and you see they offer rebates on any SeaLife camera on a trade up working OR NOT
I spoke to the representative and said the camera was an expensive disposable she did not disagree with me
I would never recommend a SeaLife
>> Housing is Touchy
I bought the camera and flash kit together The first time I used the camera the housing got a tiny bit of water in it a few drops but it was salt water and the camera was fried SeaLife replaced both the housing and the camera their service department is great The first time I went to use it on a recent trip the housing leaked in the rinse tank The dive shop owner was there and I asked him to open it with me Neither of us saw anything wrong with the O ring Camera recovered since it wasn t on and it was fresh water I used both the camera and housing the rest of the week I ve had housed cameras for over 20 years and this is the only one that has leaked on me so I do know how to prep a housing for diving A fellow diver who is also very careful with the O ring had a similar problem with his DC 800 random leakage with no apparent O ring issue It appears that the housing is very sensitive and I keep hoping that it won t leak again
It takes good pictures underwater and I ve had it down to just over 100 fsw so I can recommend it You just have to be very careful in sealing up the housing One suggestion the service tech had was to squeeze the housing shut and not depend just on the latch to seat the O ring
>> Xcaret
Bought the camera for my daughter who is working in Cancun Mexico at the resort Xcaret she works with sharks and other marine life I was amazed to find out that this is the type of camera used by divers and the marine park They were exited of the size and quality of the camera During my stay with my daughter we swam and trie the camera out in the water and out of the water It took beautiful pictures in the water and out Video quality is great also We did not test the video underwater but if you are looking for a sturdy camera this is the one It was a great choice
