Rating: Pretty good little camera
Reviewer: Donald Anderson, - View all my reviews
I had read a number of bad reviews for this camera, but fortunately I didnt experience any of the problems I had read about there. I only took it on two dives this trip, but that was due to poor viz and not because of the camera. I took it down to over 100 ft, and had no problems with water getting in the camera. I also used the same batteries for both dives, and the camera was still showing fully charged when I came home. I didnt open the camera until I came home and had to take the SD card out, and I didnt take any videos or use the internal flash so that may have helped. The qualities of the photos were certainly not what you would expect from a high end camera, but for $169 and for its small size, it did what I wanted. I enhanced the photos with photoshop to add the color that you lose without an external flash, but it did meet all of my expectations.

Rating: Totally Exceeded Expectations!
Reviewer: Joseph C.,
We bought this camera to use on a once in a lifetime trip with our three kids - a Disney cruise then DisneyWorld. We figured we would take a few pictures with this in the ocean with the dolphins, the beach, and the pool. This camera took terrific pictures both below and above water. Zoom and flash functionality under water? Awesome! Picture quality exceeded expectations. We didnt even need our regular camera because the picture quality out of water with this camera was just as good. No leaking or water inside the camera at all. Great price, quick shipment, etc. Nothing but good! Thanks!

Rating: What a great little camera
Reviewer: JEFF H.,
This camera work great on our vacation. The only thing is make us you use lithitium batteries . The AAA battery do not last long. I changed them after each dive. But other that that the videos and pics. Were great.

This is a gift I purchased for my fiance for our July 2013 honeymoon to Hawaii. We have not used it yet, but we are very excited to use it while snorking. We did play around with it and it appears to be easy to use,sturdy camera.

Reviewer: BARBARA DAVIDSON, - View all my reviews
Great item to protect the hoses and maintain the correct shape by being stored in a circular bag. Also able to wrap it so the regulator and dive computer are also protected and padded. Love it!

Rating: where did my battery go...
Reviewer: James M.,
Solid pictures, lightweight, portable, durable and easy to use. My only strike against the camera is that it’s a batter hog and I got little to no notice that the battery was drained. On two different dives the camera stopped working because of the batteries being dead and I missed a few great pictures as a result. Be sure to change regularly because the low battery indicator does not seem to give much of a read...

Rating: Nice compact digital camera / some helpful hints
Reviewer: Kelly McBean,
i recently bought a sealife reefmaster mini2/9.0 megapixel camera to take on my dive trip to curacao. this camera is very easy to set up with new format menu. i was able to capture some very nice photos. some helpful hints for this camera. 1)purchase rechargeble batteries with charger. i was able to make 3 dives a day taking lots of pictures and still have battery life and the end of the day.this camera runs on 2 aaa batteries.2)rinse camera in fresh water and end of your dive day and let dry overnight.3)do not open camera door until the next mourning to replace with 2 new aaa recharged batteries to aviod getting any water s into battery compartment.4)i found that the camera added to much red in dive mode on my photo prints,i would use snorkling mode only, this adds only a slight red tone to the picture. i had to remove lots of red color when i had my pictures developed.5) i added a 4gb digital card to the camera that will allow 3600 pictures, more than plenty for me.6)the wide angle lens with float strap made this a complete package that will last me for years to come. hope this helps you all, happy diving.

Rating: Great camera, but photos come out dark
Reviewer: Keith A., - View all my reviews
A great camera for the price. Solid, sturdy and compact. However, the photos I took came out a little dark. Of course, I think you need a light to really do it right - but my dive partner had a camera too, without a light and his photos came out much brighter. Overall, for the price, its a good buy.

Rating: Its a good deal.
Reviewer: Shareen P., - View all my reviews
I bought this camera to dive with, but didnt want to spend $200. For the price, its easy to use and takes good pictures diving.
The only issue I had was that after each dive you have to wash it off and dry it, and then make sure to try to turn it on again before you dive again. Almost every single time it says "card error" and wont take pictures. You have to open it up, play with the batteries by taking them out and putting them back in and that usually fixes it. If you dont, it wont take pictures while you dive.
The pictures I took I color corrected on the local Walgreens website, and they are fabulous.

I took my camera diving on an 85 dive for the first time and water got in it so it stopped working. I checked the seal and made sure it was correctly in place as instructed by the user manual. To get it serviced, I had to ship it to SeaLife, I had to pay for the shipping. It has been a week and I have not heard back from them on what they are doing to the camera. I hope they replace it.

Rating: underwater/overwater camera review
Reviewer: justin cerelli,
I purchased the mini 2 9.0 megapixel underwater camera for a trip to grand cayman. The camera did very well above the water as well as underwater. The underwater was a little tricky since I ended up with a lot of blurry pictures. I am not sure if that is due to movement underwater or difficulty staying still to take the picture. The camera took good video as well under water and above water. The screen is a little difficult to see at times to determine what you are taking a picture of. For the price very good camera

Reviewer: William Bell,
Plus: I wacked it against a boat (by accident) and it survived.
Minus: The memory card became unseated and I didnt know until I was on a dive and the 9M onboard memory ran out.
Plus: very portable and easy to aim and shoot.
Minus (sort of): all underwater cameras really need a side light to get true colors and eliminate back scatter. Ill buy that next.
Minus:Really sucks up the batteries requiring a dry place and care to change them out.
Overall good value (what you get for the price).

Rating: Not worth the money
Reviewer: Nancy Castro,
this has not been a good first camera purchase for me. on my vacation to curacao i did of nine dives. i was able to get pictures for two out of the dives due to the camera using up the battery life quickly. the camera uses up the battery life quickly on just one dive. in order to get nine dives worth of pictures i would have had to purchase nine new set of batteries. the only thing i could say it was not hard to figure out the features and easy to travel with. i hope scuba.com can exchange this camera for one with a better battery life. i will on the results.
SCUBA.COM TECH TIP:
It is highly recommended you use lithium AAA batteries with the SeaLife Mini 2 Camera.
