SeaLife SL321 ECOshot 6MP Digital Camera

This camera is a Great buy!!! I used it down in Floria and the water was murky but you could see what I took a picture of. It was easy to operate and again the pictures are just Awesome!! Remember to clean it after every use especially when used in salt water. Takes great pictures out of the water also. Too me it was just a smart move to purchase this camera.

The underwater video is amazing, it even has sound. Use the enclosed "CD" to set up picture downloads, it can't be easier. The best underwater camera I have ever owned. Do not leave camera in "video" mode while just looking around. If you hold it in your hand, you tend to hit the play button and you have a lot of video of yourself with breathing, eats up battery life.

Photos are what you would expect from a decent point and shoot digital camera. My overall experience was good and I do recommend the camera for underwater and 'around and about'/ travel use. However know the limitations 1] use the flash on all underwater shots and I see now why they strongly recommend the accessory flash I feel it would improve the photos, 2] plan to use 'in computer photo correction' to 'normalize the photos' [which means to reduce the blue cast] I was a little disappointeed with the 'underwater' setting in 'Modes'. It gave all photos an unnatural reddish cast. 3] shoot underwater with Auto mode and Flash always on, 4] watch for micro air bubbles on lens underwater and small water dropplets on lens above water--both lead to 'flare' [the small white circles] problems. 5] buy and install a 1 gig SD chip and rechargable camera quality AAs when you buy camera
The Camera performed and operated flawlessly during several uses on our Jamaica trip Dec 2007 snorkling and at waterfalls. It appears very well made. Simple controls. Good battery life. Easy for anyone to use--children included. It was even dropped once onto concrete [by accident] and appeared unfazed. This camera is a great improvement over the small disposable underwater cameras. I ended up with many good photos of fish and reef; also many excellent above water photos.

Outstanding value for a great underwater camera. Easy to use underwater generates great still and video pictures. Sea mode color corrects for excellent pictures. Video mode even has sound. Highly recommend.
