Rating: so far so goodon land...
Reviewer: Susan Morton, Friday, August 27, 2010 - View all my reviews
bought this camera for a dive trip that got postponed, but have been using the camera on land (minus the housing of course). it takes great pix, in all kinds of light and conditions. cant wait to use it on a dive..... it also passed its "dunking" test that is the housing seems water-tight and ready to go. the button to actually take the picture is a little stiff for my small hands since holding the housing (larger than its predecessor) stretches my hand and makes the application of finger pressure on the top button a bit awkward takes getting used to, but most divers hand are bigger than mine and so you all wont have any problem.... aorat from that im ready to go.

This was our fourth underwater camera purchase and I think the best so far. My wife has only used it once but she was very happy with it. I put some slideshows and videos on youtube if you want to see what it can do. She was using the wide angle lens for most of them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToAX-PteeI8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7b4aEj6xz4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GpdoJEiZNQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1i9NBlFpX-0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8jwflILbEI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1r37OlOk0U

Reviewer: Stephen Dicicco, Saturday, August 28, 2010
I have never used a camera before. Just returned form a week at Grand Cayman with the DC1200. Easy, reliable, fun and took some great pictures and videos. I urge you to have two batteries as I tended to use one per two-tank boat dive and one shore dive day. I dont have the attached flash but the pics are better than good. So far, the camera is great. I took over 1/5 minutes of video of an eagle ray (two feet away). Clarity and overall quality is excellent.

Rating: Best for me
Reviewer: Ronald Agee, Sunday, July 18, 2010 - View all my reviews
Camera was the best buy for my Grand Cayman Trip. My pictures were better than any 35mm from the past. The option to create videos with just one button was priceless. Bought two batteries and this ended up being a good decision. One battery did not last three dives. Also bought a class 6 (8gb) flash card and also purchased (locally) a class 4 (8gb) card. I used both but could not tell the difference. Piano keys are preferred for me but I have never used a camera with 20 buttons. Micro pictures were great although the best pictures were from 6 to 10 inches. NOTE: when using the AUTO focus, remember to press halfway so the camera can focus, then finish pressing the key. IF you dont do this, you will get the standard blue picture.

Reviewer: Dave Mascarenas, Saturday, July 17, 2010 - View all my reviews
I bought this camera to use on a trip of a lifetime to Fiji. I did allot of research on the dive cameras available today looking for one that was easy to use, didnt take allot of time to learn and was of good quality. I have used the equivilent camera from Sea and Sea and find this Sealife camera to be the best all around. In 5 minutes I was up and running as the dive settings are a push of a button away. The piano style buttons were very easy to use and labeled in large print. Not having allot of experience, I was very impressed with the quality of pictures without having to adjust everything. I would recommend this camera to both experts and novices alike.
