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.

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.

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: First underwater digital camera
Reviewer: Robert M., Saturday, February 28, 2009
This is my first underwater digital camera. My previous underwater experience is with a 35mm, and I have only used this camera snorking so far. The sea setting (blue and green) do compensate well for the colour change created by the water. My first outing was the best underwater pictures I had taken to that date. Downside is the display is difficult to see near the surface in bright sunlight, and the camera has no external view finder like my 35, however keep snaping and you get results.
The inside camera also bwcomes an excelent point and shoot when set properly. The camera reaction time 1/10 sec is fantastic with action shots (which underwater pictures are)as compared to my other point and shoot at 1/3 sec.

Rating: Dc800 camera
Reviewer: Paul Varone, Monday, March 02, 2009 - View all my reviews
I am very happy with the purchase. It is a good camera for the price. I did have some problems over 120 feet. I suspect the pressure of that depth was pushing all the buttons on the camera. It did return to normal upon ascending. A flash is very helpful over 80 feet, but I still got decent shots.

This is a terrific camera with excellent color and clarity. The unit is easy to use and takes great pictures above or below the water. The price was excellent and there are plenty of options for additional features, etc. I would recommend it as a great entry level camera.

Rating: Idiot Proof
Reviewer: Jeffrey J V., Thursday, March 05, 2009 
I am terrible at above water photography, but even I could take decent underwater pictures with this camera.

This was taken about 30 feet in Puget Sound neat Tacoma on my first dive using the camera. No external flashes or strobes.
So easy to use and seems to be built like a tank so it can take some punishment.

Rating: A few things they dont mention
Reviewer: jeffery r., Sunday, December 21, 2008
i like it. used it on 6 dives now. only three things notable. one thing they dont mention is that you need to purchase an extra set of "moisture munchers # sl 911". the camera only comes with 4 tubes and youll use one a day depending on your profiles and water temps. none of the local shops carried them so order them at the same time you order the camera.
second they should have included a diffuser. if you are within 30 ft of the surface on a sunny day this thing takes great pictures with full color using the blue sea setting. at night you can use the flash and a spot light near what you are taking a picure of and it looks great. without a good led or krypton light the colors washed out a bit on the sides using only the flash.. i would recommend a flash diffuser something they should have included with the camera.
third thing it is a little slow to take the pictures. so dont plan on any split second action shots especially if using the flash. but it works fine for fish just swimming around.
one review i read said you couldnt switch between modes while underwater. i read the directions and yes you can. its not intuitive but you can.
been down to 120 ft with no seepage.
youll need to play with the white balance to get the best colors. if you can take it down and mess with the settings after a few dives you should start to get really great picures but it does bleach out around 80ft. guess at that depth you need some serious lighting to get the colors to show up.
