Rating: Great Value
Reviewer: Melissa G., Monday, November 09, 2009
For the value, this is an amazing camera. We have taken it on numerous dives so far and couldnt be happier. Ensure that you learn the different setting modes to use this camera to its best ability. Landscape is an all around great mode for day time photos and of course use the sea mode for underwater. The anti-shake, and night modes are also good. My only complaint is you can not change from shooting mode to display while in the housing. You will also need to buy extra moisture munchers because the ones we got with the camera were already pink.

Rating: good start for beginner
Reviewer: Jennifer Anderson, Monday, September 14, 2009
This was a good camera for the average photographer it was a little hard to figure out how to switch from land use to underwater when in the case but finally figured it out. The thing that was really iritating was the moisture munchers enclosed were spent and pink (not blue as was supposed to be) luckily I had ordered an extra pkg of these as this also happened to a friend who bought the same camera. The company needs to figure out how to pkg the munchers so they are usable.

Rating: ALMOST PERFECT
Reviewer: Shannon K., Monday, August 24, 2009 - View all my reviews
THIS WAS MY FIRST UNDERWATER CAMERA PURCHASE, AND OVERALL, I AM SATISFIED. THE CAMERA IS VERY EASY TO USE AND HAS FANTASTIC FEATURES LIKE AN OCEAN SETTING THAT HELPS TO CORRECT YOUR COLOR. TE HOUSING IS STURDY AND I VEVER HAD ANY LEAKING. I BOUGHT THE MOISTURE MUNCHERS AND WENT THROUGH ABOUT 1 EVERY OTHER DAY (THREE DIVES A DAY). I ALSO PURCHASED THE FLOAT STRAP WHICH WAS WONDERFUL. THE CAMERA FELT SECURE ON MY WRIST USING IT. THE EXTRA BATTERY I BOUGHT IS NICE, BUT I NEVER NEEDED IT. THE BATTERY LASTED FOR THE ENTIRE DAY AND WASNT EVEN FULLY DRAINED. THATS SAYING A LOT. I TOOK OVER 1200 PICTURES IN 6 DAYS. I WOULD RECOMMEND THE EXTRA SD CARD. I USED A 4GB AND ONLY FILLED UP ABOUT HALF THE MEMORY. THE ONLY CRITICISM I HAVE FOR THE CAMERA IS THAT YOU CANNOT SWITCH BETWEEN VIDEO OR STILL PICTURE MODE ONCE THE CAMERA IS INSDIDE THE HOUSING. OTHER THAN THAT, THIS CAMERA IS AWESOME. ALSO, I SEARCHED MANY SITES BEFORE PURCHASING FROM SCUBA.COM, AND THEY DEFINITELY HAD THE BEST DEAL AND GAVE YOU THE MOST EXTRAS.

Reviewer: BILL OTTEN, Sunday, September 06, 2009
Have not used the camera yet - we are going to Aruba Oct 10, 2009 and hope to dive and take some great pictures of some old ship wrecks. The camera looks great and we are reading up on the manual and instructions, thanks so much for a great deal for this underwater camera. Bill Otten 1742 S. Triple Crown St. Wichita, KS 67230

Rating: Great camera
Reviewer: Jennifer P., Friday, August 07, 2009 - View all my reviews
This camera is excellent. It worked perfectly, taking great pictures and impressively steady video underwater. It never leaked and it only took one "moisture muncher" for 2 days of diving and its still good for at least one more dive trip. Great buy!

Rating: Great Camera
Reviewer: Joyce Knapczyk, Friday, June 12, 2009
Just a all around good camera. For true color the standard flash it great for close up shots but youre going to need the ext strobe for anything else over 5 ft(depending on depth). Note: remember to set the camera for underwater(sea) in order to take pictures.

Rating: DC800 Rocks
Reviewer: Jason L., Friday, June 05, 2009
Bought for recent trip to Kauai. Camera worked great, the housing is very rugged and is easy to use underwater. Takes great pictures above and below the surface. Camera is user friendly, got great photos of turtles and even a whale. I definately recomend this camera. Only one small knock, but Im sure there is a remedy when in dive mode, surface pics will have red tone to account for blue water. I do recommend buying the flash accessory. Definately my next purchase.

Rating: Sealife DC800 Camera
Reviewer: Lisa Hobart, Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - View all my reviews
The camera is very easy to use and takes good pictures. I would recommend adding a strobe to enhance picture quality of the camera. The only downfall I found is when using the camera for onshore pictures I received a shadow on the screen while taking pictures on the beach in warm weather. I am hoping this will clear up, so be careful when using the camera other than underwater photography.

Reviewer: Nathan Edwards, Sunday, April 05, 2009 - View all my reviews
I used this on my recent trip to Turks and Caicos. This is a simple to use camera, performed flawlessly and, with the setting set to dive mode, took fantastic pictures. If you dive in less visibility or darker waters, Id recommend adding the external flash.

Rating: Sealife DC800 Camera
Reviewer: Joel L., Monday, April 13, 2009 - View all my reviews
I admit I havent tried a lot of other cameras other than the disposable ones, but this camera worked flawlessly. Only problem I noted was getting the color right underwater (operator era) and when shooting above ground in the sunlight, I got some washout in the background. Again, probably my fault. Others saw the camera also and liked it.
