Product Description

Product Description
The SeaLife DC500 features a new "Shark Mode" for faster and sharper pictures of moving objects underwater and in sports photography on land.The Shark Mode is activated by simply pushing the camera's OK button which focuses on the intended subject. The camera will now remember that focus range and take sharp pictures with virtually no shutter lag. Underwater, in diving or snorkeling, everything moves, the diver as well as sea creatures are in constant movement. In addition to the Shark Mode, the automatic Sea exposure mode will shorten the exposure time underwater for sharper pictures.

1.0 out of 5 stars Leaks!!, January 14, 2007

By	Orlando Dad "Dave" (Orlando, FL) - See all my reviews

Decent camera, but not great. Shark mode is nice. Housing looks good, but mine leaked at ~20 ft...camera was dead by the time I got it out of the water. Good news is that Amazon processed the defective product return rapidly and credited my account in about a week. Net result was one decent picture and a disappointing Christmas present. Next time I will buy a housing for a better camera. Canon has some nice ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just used this at 80 feet in BELIZE!, April 19, 2006

By	Valentina "DiveGirl55" (Sunny California) - See all my reviews

Loved this! It is awesome because it is BOTH land and sea camera, so you need just one! You can get tons of accessories and flashes for it. It is easy to use and the program it comes with allows you to do all kinds of cool corrections INCLUDING making your photos MORE in focus in case you shot them blurry!

I cannot wait to use it again, well UNDERWATER for diving I mean!

2.0 out of 5 stars Good case, below average camera, May 28, 2008

By	W. Boyd "dubyahbee" (Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've had this camera about a year, and must say the case is pretty nice. No complaints with it at all. I know 4 other divers with the same camera and they like it. The camera itself takes horribly grainy pictures, nowhere near as good as a real canon or nikon pocket-sized camera. My battery was also shot after a year. You can tell the camera is cheaply made just by holding it - it's all cheap plastic. The case is pretty rugged though. To do it again, I'd get a case for my Canon 850 IS.
