Sealife SL321 ECOshot 6.0MP Digital Camera with 4x Digital Zoom (Rated to 75') with 1 GB SD Card

Bought this camera for trip to Mexico in July, love to snorkel so instead of throw away invested in this camera. I left my Canon rebel digital at home figuring I could use the Sealife sea or land. NUMBER 1 big problem there is no viewfinder and a majority of the time the LCD panel was one huge rainbow like an oil slick on water. You could not see image or even the choices to change modes, flash, battery life etc. Anything that comes up on that LCD was not visible. I was shooting blind most of the time. Okay on wide open beach to point and shoot you know you will get some of the scenery in the picture. Also the zoom really blurs the picture, you are better off not using it. For example before we left at niece's 5th bday party and zoomed in for candle blow out pic....all blurry. I am wondering if I received a lemon. I have just emailed the company to see if they can explain the rainbow problem and will update this review if they respond. Was so hoping to have a nice little all around camera to bring so as not to lug the 35 mm Rebel (expensive and hard to hide on a beach).

Bought the camera for sailing, kayaking, and snorkeling. Took it to Maui and am impressed with the clarity, resolution. ease of use in the water. Am still a bit puzzled by which setting "sea" or "auto" will produce the best snorkel pictures - Sea at depth does well but a bit red in shallow water - auto a bit blue-geen but somewhat correctable. And, our grandaughter looks great underwater.
Great activity camera for the price -
It loves to eat batteries, recommend rechargable, fresh set every trip.

I received the camera in good condition and in working order. The trip I purchased the camera for was canceled do to me breaking my arm so I haven't had the chance to give it a good work out but by playing with it a little looks as if it would have worked out fine.

I like this camera, but definately invest in a red filter if you are going lower than about 30 feet. The pics were great above that, but you lost a lot of color below that. Also, you have to have a very steady hand otherwise you get some blurry pics. Overall, I really like this camera.

Does anyone have some sample shots of what this camera can do? I'm looking for something that's good for diving.
