| Sea & Sea DX-2G 12.1 Megapixel Underwater Camera and Housing Reviews 
Reviewer: Adam M. on 10/1/2009
Best underwater digital camera Ive used so far... - I am an avid underwater photographer with about 140 camera dives. The DX-2G is the 6th digital UW camera Ive used, and so far, my favorite. I have both Sea & Sea and SeaLife cameras. I do not have SeaLifes most recent DC1000 camera though to compare to.
I currently shoot with the DX-2G, two Sea & Sea YS110a Strobes, and a Fish Eye Fix HG20DX Focus Light. My opinion is that the SeaLife cameras are great, and make underwater photography very easy and rewarding for people new to shooting. I think the Sea & Sea series gives me a bit more control and flexibility now as a more experienced diver and photographer. I have taken great photos with both, however.
First, the Sea &Sea mode... View Full Review

| Sea & Sea DX-1200 HD 12 Megapixel High Definition Still/Video Camera Islander Package Reviews
Reviewer: Todd H. on 6/22/2009
Getting Great Shots with my new DX-1200 HD - i decided to upgrade my camera before my cozumel trip back in may. i did some research and from what i read and what i had budgeted, i decided on the sea & sea 1200 hd islander package. it came with (almost) everything and the case was such an awesome bonus. and it even comes with a wide-angle lens.
ive been so pleased with this cameraboth underwater and above. i seldom used my old camera out of the water (sealife reefmaster mini) but this one is just as great out of the housing.
the hd video is great. the shots i got in coz and on my recent trip to costa rica were awesome. the resolution is fantastic and the clarity is off the charts when compared to my old 6mp unit.

| Sealife DC1000 10.1 Megapixel Elite Kit with Digital Pro Flash Reviews 
Reviewer: Dino Simotas on 8/14/2009
Wow! - At first glance, this camera/housing/flash is really impressive! Its actually fairly large body feels very solid. The camera itself is pretty small and fits snugly into the housing. All the buttons seem to be accessible. For the actual photo quality, I took a variety of land shots and found the camera was pretty good. Sea photos were much harder to judge as this is my first UW camera. I took probably 30 photos and I got one to come in fairly clear and not look washed out. I took my test shots at 40 feet on an overcast day, camera was in sea mode, flash set at power 1. Most of my shots were blurry, problem is I dont know if it was me moving or the camera not being smart enough for... View Full Review

| Canon WP-DC23 Underwater Housing for SD770IS Reviews
Reviewer: George Toney on 6/28/2008
canon sd770is under water housing - I got the case for a week long dive trip to the Bahams. WOW
I am glad I did. My shots with this camera were so awesome. There were about five other cameras on the boat and my shots were better than those others, which included a Sony in an Ike Lite case, a Sea and Sea with a strob and a Olympus. First this case is small and light compared to all the others. Has a great diffuser that attches well and stays on the camera. The Ike Light case lost its diffuser and the Sea and Sea lost its diffuser we found it and reattched. Full function of the camera under water no setting to forget before putting in the case A ++++. A few times I forgot to match the switch to the houseing, like review to... View Full Review

| Sealife DC1000 10.1 Megapixel Camera Reviews
Reviewer: Holly B. on 6/13/2009
Happy customer - The camera was great. The multiple settings on the camera were numerous and easy to access and pick. We used the snorkeling, landscape, and auto modes for our pictures. The pictures came out great - even the river tubing ones. Most pictures were clear even though they were taken with some movement by the photographer (me). I was pleased at how easy the waterproof case was to use - including installing the moisture munchers (they have a special spot to install them). The reason I rated the camera at 4 stars is the delay in picture taking. I prefer SLR and DSLR cameras for that reason. In the water the delay is not as noticeable because of the difficulty of moving and taking pictures... View Full Review

| Canon WP-DC70 Underwater Housing For Canon Powershot SD500 Reviews
Reviewer: Jim Rhea on 6/11/2007
Great investment - The first time I put my camera into this housing I was terrified. I could just see my 7.2 MP Canon camera with water running out of the lens. To my delight that did not happen! What I got out of the camera were some great shots of fish nesting in the bottom of the local quarry. Use of the housing is cumbersome when wearing gloves. The controls are a bit close together. This is required of course for the compact size. The user MUST use the flash lens with the camera. Otherwise you will end up with a big dark spot in the lower right corner of the pictures. Use the housing on dry land a while before diving with it so you do waste time and air fumbling for the controls. And DONT forget the... View Full Review

| Bonica Snapper HDDV 5.0 Megapixel Digital Video Camera with Underwater Housing Reviews
Reviewer: Gina L. on 8/1/2008
Bonica Snapper HDDV - Pros:Found the camera to be very easy to operate even under water.
Small and compact with u/w housing good for
travel.
Video plays very nice on Vizio 42inch HD lcd tv.
Still photos also very good.
Cons:Can hear zoom and auto focus doesnt matter if you edit video with music.
Must convert video files from quick time to windows if you want to use windows editing software. Camera software will convert these files for you.
Overall very good u/w video camera would recommend it to my dive friends.

| Canon WP-DC28 Underwater Housing for Powershot G10 Reviews
Reviewer: Christopher Boziel on 9/6/2009
Great Case For The Price - This is my first underwater camera case. I am a part time professional photographer and underwater shooting is something new to me. I wanted a quality set-up without paying thousands of dollars to see if I enjoyed it. The G10 WP-DC28 combo works really well. I am not even using a strobe yet and I am getting crystal clear shots using RAW.
I was extremely nervuous about taking my brand new $500 G10 under the first few times but I had it down to 120ft on my last dive with NO LEAKS!
I do suggest you buy the ballast weights with the case as they are very nessesary.
The only problem with the case is the slidewheel used for exposure/aperature adjustments is not controlable with the... View Full Review

| Sea & Sea DX-1G Sport Package Reviews
Reviewer: Cheryl OŽBrien on 4/28/2008
Love it! - I bought this camera for my husband and although hes only had it out once, we were very pleased with the quality of photos. He didnt even use the strobe as he was free diving fairly shallow, but the colors were still great with lots of detail. I purchased this one because I know friends whove had camera housings leak and ruin their cameras, so I wanted to go with a company that made both the camera and housing specifically for each other. So far so good. Also the buttons are very easy to find/use underwater and are similar enough to my Canon that I was able to pick it up and use for some land shots without reading any instructions. Overall, were very happy with this setup.

| Canon WP-DC40 Underwater Housing For Canon S60/S70 Reviews
Reviewer: Charles Johnsen on 7/2/2007
Housing for Canon S60/S70 - Im new to underwater photography and I did not want to spend large amounts of money to get started. I already owned a Canon S70. The case is very high quality and it worked out great. All the features are available via the buttons on the case. The only caveat is to be sure you are familiar with the location and function of the buttons because the symbols on the camera are obscured by the buttons themselves. I also purchased a short retractable tether that I clipped to the case and then to my BCD. That allowed me to keep my hands free but the camera was always handy. The case comes with a removable sun shade and I did not use it on my first dive and it was difficult at times to see... View Full Review

| Suprema Pixsea 5.0 Megapixel Camera Reviews 
Reviewer: Joseph W. on 2/16/2009
Decent pictures, terrible flash - the pictures we took in maui came out pretty nicely with the digital camera. this leads me to believe that it is possible to take good pictures with the camera. however, using the flash saturated the image and ruined the pictures taken with the flash. i think this is a problem of design, the flash reflects off the housing and back into the lens because of poor design. also, the dives were a maximum of 40 feet so this wasnt a great test for its ability to withstand pressure. (there were a few lets of leakage after a 30-40 foot dive). also, the camera wasnt excellent at picking up colors. overall, worth the money.

| Sea & Sea DX-1200 HD 12 Megapixel High Definition Still/Video Camera Reviews
Reviewer: Candance Springer on 6/15/2009
DX-1200 HD 12 Megapixel High Definition Still/Video Camera Camera/Housing - The camera is amazing. It takes great stills and the HD video has so much quality. When we took it to Casino Point, when using the video, we put the camera into a very shaded area of the Kismet with no visability and the camera was able to capture all the detail by picking up what light it could. To see the quality of the video you can check out these links...

It does have a tendency to over-saturate underwater and blow out highlights, but Im sure that I need to play more with the settings.

| Gopro Digital Hero 5 Wrist Camera Reviews
Reviewer: Marion Hamilton on 1/3/2010
2 - i am actually just back from a snorkel trip to roatan, hondouras...........got back today. we didnt like the wrist camera.................in fact, we plan to return it for something different. i havet even tried to download the pics yet was just reading emails and came across this one. the viewfinder is too small....and it eats batteries quickly. also, it was impossible to tell if the camera was on or off during the night snorkeling.

| Sea & Sea DX-1G Pro Islander Package Reviews
Reviewer: Tim Garstone on 6/23/2008
Great camera and package deal!! - This my first underwater camera and I found it very easy to use and assemble and I have taken some great shots in West Australian waters over the last month or so. I would definately recommend someone to buy this camera, the sea & sea mode is very handy for water shots and the built in macro lense is amazing. I would also suggest getting the YS-110 strobe too as it automatically adjusts for exposure and the light guide is great for night dives.One last thing the pelican hard case is awesome, I have had it being knocked around in my boat a lot and it loves it, worthy upgrade for sure.Alround great kit and very fun apreciating the life in the water rather than hunting it all the time.
