4.0 out of 5 stars Better than nothing
The SL960 IMO was designed for the 35mm film camera specifically in the SL950 set but willwork more easily with other SeaLife Cameras than with non-SeaLife cameras (be it digital or film). With that being said, I use the SL960 with my Canon A570is. I must use the Flashlink (SL962) in order to get the flash to sync plus my A570 will only sync in MANUAL MODE, no other. I...

3.0 out of 5 stars Do you need the External Flash?
Hello, I have used many different types of cameras through the years of my diving career and have found the cheaper cameras to be very limited in the ability to take good pictures.

No matter what camera you choice, you MUST use an external flash. If you are a certified scuba diver you already know the reason for this. YOU should know, it's part of your training. This...

The SL960 IMO was designed for the 35mm film camera specifically in the SL950 set but willwork more easily with other SeaLife Cameras than with non-SeaLife cameras (be it digital or film). With that being said, I use the SL960 with my Canon A570is. I must use the Flashlink (SL962) in order to get the flash to sync plus my A570 will only sync in MANUAL MODE, no other. I find 1/250 sec at f4-5.6 to be fine. A diffuser is a must. Currently, I use Coffee filters (don't laugh, they work) but I'm thinking of buying the one SeaLife makes for this flash. The SL960's intensity CAN'T be adjusted like the SL960D so Macros are out of the question unless you do some serious Flash Bounce or some other type of Camera Wizardry . If I could afford a more expensive flash, sure I'd buy one, but for now the SL960 is one of the least expensive Flashes out there AND it produces the results I'm looking for, albeit not professional but definitely BETTER THAN NOTHING!!

P.S.!!! It may not work with all Cameras!!! I bought a Fuji E900 and I can't get it to sync even with the Flashlink Cable. I would assume the other Canon A-Series would work but I can't guarantee it.

Hello, I have used many different types of cameras through the years of my diving career and have found the cheaper cameras to be very limited in the ability to take good pictures.

No matter what camera you choice, you MUST use an external flash. If you are a certified scuba diver you already know the reason for this. YOU should know, it's part of your training. This flash unit puts out just enough light for the intented purpose of the line of Reefmaster cameras. I would recommend renting a camera system before purchasing; make sure this camera system and flash unit meet your expectations.
